Sure, the threat might keep Israel in check instead of committing genocide

Alright, let’s even the playing field. Give Hamas guided munitions.
The implication being that the only people firing munitions is Hamas. Very cute.
Give Gaza an Iron Dome!
I’d be absolutely fine if Israel didn’t have Gaza under total blockade and THEN not giving aid. Sure.
But no, if Israel insists on total control (I think is counter productive, but whatever), they gain total responsibility.
You can’t just not feed your open air prison full of refugees (of your own making).
It’s a deliberate strategy to divide and conquer and create blowback (Oct 7th)
I’m not going to get fully bogged down in the semantics, but Israel still basically controls the Egypt border.
The US forced a vote, didn’t like the outcome, attempted to coup Hamas, and failed. Also, if Hamas is so bad (which they are in many respects), why does Israel fund them and explicitly has a policy of only interacting with them as being the legitimate government?
Easy, they want an unsympathetic enemy that does not want peace. They want to continue the project of taking the rest of Israel for the ethnostate.
You realize Israel is controlling the prison in reality, right?
Hamas doesn’t shoot Palestinians that go to far off the coast, Israel does.
Hamas didn’t erect a huge border wall around Gaza, Israel did.
Hamas doesn’t control the supply of food, water, and goods into Gaza. Israel does.
Who controls Gaza?
Deplorable isn’t literally de-humanizing.
