    Gaza literally has a border with egypt and sea.

    In addition, controlling imports and exports is fully reasonable when there is a terrorist organization in power.

      It’s funny because your comment is literally meaningless. Which terrorist organization are you referring to? Hamas or Israel?

          False. There are 2. One has killed about 1400 people, the other has killed over 8000 in the last week alone.

            Hamas is the terrorist organization in the conflict. Who else? Israel? Not really, they literally were the ones attacked and at the same time it’s pretty much the only state in middle east where people have human rights. There is no oppression from the government (despite the fact I personally disagree with many decisions of the current leadership), there are regular elections, etc. I don’t see how this is a terrorist behavior.

            There is a huge difference when you purposefully just because of their religion and when you kill civilians because there are terrorists hiding between them.

              I don’t care what their reasons for killing children are. I only care that they are indiscriminately killing them. That makes them terrorists by any definition.

                But you should. Because that’s the difference between people being killed by a terrorist attack and people being killed while chasing terrorists.

                  No. You shouldn’t care. Killing children makes you a terrorist no matter what. There’s no justification. Especially not as disproportionate retaliation.

                    Each time you are in a war, you kill innocents and children, as well. It’s sad but true. If you consider every state who killed children in a war at some point a terrorist state, then pretty much every single state would be a terrorist one.

                    Hamas has been ruining civilians’ lives for ages. If there would not be a radical step taken against them, they would continue to rule and eventually kill more people than in a conflict like this.

                    We already had this in WWII. USA threw 2 nuclear bombs at Japan and killed many innocents. However, if they hadn’t done that, war would have continued for another, let’s say, 20 years which would eventually mean even more deaths.

                    Hence why I believe that killing more people now in order to preserve more lives in the future is worth it.

                    On the other hand, it would be definitely the best solution if both israel and palestine had their own state which cares about people.
