'I know Gaza is a bad place and I know hamas is terrible. That's why it's so important that Israel clean up the mess that no one else wants to deal with. When I said "we", I meant that if the United States Government declared war on a country then for me personally I would know that I could possibly be attacked by the other country. That's what can happen during a war. The civilians of Japan paid for their government attacking the U.S. Having a shitty government is a terrible thing. We're facing that issue in Nov.What you just said was "we". First you wouldn't declare war. The county's leaders were. I suppose you vote Dem or Repub. I am sure you disagree with the parties, but you are in a fairly lawful nation and are so blessed. Many around the world have rouge Govt's or have been taken over by criminals and so forth.
Hamas is a ruthless organization that provides some benefits for Gaza. Living in Gaza is a terrible place to begin with. You have much more control over Biden or Trump than Gazan's have over Hamas. They are trying to survive.
Women children and most men largely of Gaza largely aren't in Hamas. If you were in Hamas, yes what you say is accurate. Most aren't. That's not hard to understand, but you don't want to do that.
If civilians are holding Israelis hostage then they are assisting hamas. If I had hostages in my house I would expect that my house might be a target. That's not that hard to understand.
