Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip”.

Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

      That’s not a point, that’s a platitude.

        Eh, it’s a point. Starting an offensive war with a more prosperous, more militarized neighbor is a dumb move on the part of the attackers.

            It’s an incredibly dumb move. Oh let me attack my bigger, stronger neighbor who provides most of of my utilities. Let me use my aid money to prepare flail uselessly fighting them instead of building up my country so I can actually defeat them.

            Of in 2004 Hamas launches zero rockets from Gaza, launches zero terrorist acts from Gaza and instead smuggles all that gear into the West Bank and launches the same attacks from there. The whole world would be calling for an end to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the establishment of the '67 borders there just like was done I’m Gaza.

              Jesus Christ. Dude just stop, seriously. You don’t have a point, take a nap or at the very least leave the grown ups alone.
