What astonishes me is the obvious inappropriateness of reacting to a terrorist attack by declaring total war on the country that elected the terrorist group in 2007. But did they know how they would turn out? And, anyway, Hamas provides education, health, and other essential services for the Gazans. Israel knows that the vast majority of the people they slaughter will have not wanted anything to do with the Hamas attack on 7 October. Yet, Israel's government has killed nearly all non-combatants. 7,000 Gazans in the first 3 weeks.
Should the people of Israel be doing some self-examination over anything that they might have missed in 75 years?
When nothing has worked in 75 years, should Israel, the West and the UN try a different approach? But how can they when the people of Israel keep on electing right-wing politicians who are convinced that only the iron fist and never the emollient velvet glove will work - one day, soon. And, this time, they believe once more that it will work because the highest number, ever, of Palestinians will never again see the light of day.
