I assume the idea is to get the starving Palestinians turn on Hamas.

How would they turn on Hamas? What would that even look like? I've heard tons of interviews with Palestinians, and almost all were just as shocked at what happened as Israelis. Many, many already do not support Hamas, but what is there to even do about that when you're just trying to find enough food and water to keep your family alive?

That strategy has been tried a million times and it has never worked. Remember when Cubans ousted Castro? Me neither.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
