The article accuses Israel of potentially committing war crimes in its conflict with Hamas, focusing on a siege on Gaza, airstrikes harming civilians, and evacuation orders. It criticizes the U.S. for not condemning Israel’s actions and emphasizes the need for diplomatic solutions. The piece argues that Israel’s approach could backfire politically and suggests that there’s no military solution to the conflict. It calls for the U.S. to exercise influence to deter such actions, asserting it’s in the interests of both the U.S. and Israel to prevent further civilian casualties and maintain regional stability.

    You blame every Palestinian death on Israel? Seriously? Maybe condem them for the war of 48, but that was 80 years ago, and it was started by Palestinians (and other arab nations who were just racist towards jews) but people in Palestine don’t live miserable lives purely because of israel. They have sky high poverty, dysfunctional leadership, an education system focused on murdering your neighbours. What will come out of a people wanting to just rebel against everyone? They rebelled in Jordan, they rebelled in Egypt, they rebelled in Lebanon, and they rebel in Israel. What this people need is a country to take them in, not trying to build another failed country in the middle east (whilst killing/exiling 7 million people in the process, as they oh so desire). Israel would never think of kicking out Palestinians from gaza/west bank if they developed themselves instead of focusing on death. They don’t want this headache of terrorist neighbours. Two states isn’t and wasn’t EVER an option in the eyes of Palestinians. But the jews DO need a state. They’re prosecuted all over the world, and without a country to defend them, things like the Holocaust happen. The situation got to this degree because of both parties involved. Palestinians who are head against the wall only wanting death, and Israel who focuses solely on defending themselves, with little regard on how civillians on the other side are living. Of course that with conditions as bad as those terrorists will spawn, but that’s not on Israel to blame - that’s on the palestinian leadership. Israel faulted with not trying to give Palestinians proper leadership that’ll advance them out of poverty and terror. And I failed to understand your native Americans comparison. The natives are Palestinians, so yeah Israel grabs a gun and fight back. It’s their home for 80 years, of course they’ll fight for it. It’s common sense. They’re not invaders from outside, every Israeli fighting now was born there.
