If this happened in America I can't imagine what would happen.

If, for example, Mexico did to us what Hamas just did to Israel... Hell, if it was specifically Mexican cartels and not the Mexican government forces (which is already an unfair analogy...Hamas IS their government)...

We'd be carpet bombing Mexico City within 4 hours.
If you think otherwise, you're naive at best.
Look at what we did to Iraq, and they didn't even attack us or were involved with it, they just happened to also be Muslim and got on GWB's bad side while we were in the middle of punishing Afghanistan.

Biden outright said we'd use "decisive and overwhelming" force, and the Hamas defenders still try to act like this is not normal or acceptable for Israel.

And the situation with Palestine is legitimately very complicated, because Hamas is capable of things like this so Israel not wanting them crossing their border does have sense to it. but at the same time its true this situation is not sustainable and the palestinian lives need to be improved somehow.

"I can't believe Israel locks them in there! It's inhumane!"
*sees what they'll do in Israel with just a few hours "free" from those walls*
*is reminded that Egypt also walled them the fuck off b/c they're scared of them, too*
"I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see that."

I don't see it either. Hamas needs to go. But Hamas is a reaction to how Israel treats Palestinians. If (hopefully) Hamas goes, will Israel improve the material, social and political conditions of the Palestinian people so that something like Hamas will never emerge again?

Or will they keep the status quo and then act like nothing can ever be done to make peace when another group like Hamas emerges?

Israel was already providing their water and electricity, which is how they were able to immediately "shut it off".
How about the Palestinians in Gaza start building their own civilian infrastructure with all the hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons and "martyr funds" they get, instead of pouring it into a war w/ an enemy every fucking Hamas defender on here is quick to point out they're completely outmatched against?
But I know that's a rhetorical question. That money comes with strings attached that it's to go towards murdering Israelis, and Hamas wouldn't have it any other way.
