It’s what happens when you build a culture around “saving face” rather than competence. And then kill 10% of the population, targeting the productive and educated.

Ironically both. Palestinians don’t believe their neighbors should be allowed to continue living, so they engage in constant warfare. Now their neighbors don’t want to give them free stuff anymore.

It’s almost like if you respect basic human rights has a positive economic benefit…

China built an economy that’s like 50% based on bullshitting to your superiors about how much infrastructure you built.

Do you have any evidence that suggests they were Hamas missiles?

Yes the articles linked in the Wikipedia page.

Ceasefires are victories for Hamas, not something they’d want to get around.

If you’d read the article you’d see that ceasefire for Hamas are routinely violated by them with no consequences.

Dead Palestinians is a Hamas war goal.

It was reconstituted years later. The country was destroyed first.

not of the country.

The country was split into 4ths.

If all they wanted was genocide they would have stayed on their side of the border and simply shelled Gaza to the ground.

those are likely not Hamas rockets.

The fuck? You’ve got to be trolling right? Hamas brags about it’s rocket fire. It’s almost it’s defining characteristics. Do you have any evidence that suggests it wasn’t Hamas?

In the hour after the ceasefire was declared, twelve rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel. All of them landed in open areas.[217][219] Air raid sirens sounded in Eshkol, Sderot, Hof Ashkelon, Ashdod, Kiryat Malachi and Sha’ar Hanegev. One rocket over Ashdod was intercepted by the Iron Dome.[220]

Are we pretending they didn’t?

What planet are you living on? Hamas will violate the cease fire on day one.

This particular conflict did indeed start then.

That part stuck with me. The Taliban would rather children die en-mass then women sell knickknacks on a street corner.

Unfortunately Islam has impoverished the Arabic, Northern African and Central Asian nations for 1000 years, and the way it’s going it’s gonna impoverish them for the next 1000 years too.

No, the country launching attacks and rockets, Gaza has been breaking the cease fires.

Surprised it’s not higher. Gaza’s government has spent $0 on defensive technologies. Zero radar installations, zero anti-aircraft weapons, zero SAM, zero bomb bunkers.

Is it the oppression!

Objectively not. Most of the decision makers for Hamas live comfortably in Quatar.

It’s probably the multi-decades long commitment to genocide.

A Napoleonic era artillery barrages could flatten Gaza in a couple of weeks. They’re clearly not attempting to genocide all Gazans. To believe that requirea the belief that the IDF is the most incompetent military force to ever walk the planet.
