Palestinians say this war is robbing them not only of their loved ones but also of the funeral rites that long have offered mourners some dignity and closure in the midst of unbearable grief. Israeli strikes have killed so many people so quickly that they’ve overwhelmed hospitals and morgues, making the normal rituals of death all but impossible.

Overflowing morgues have compelled hospitals to bury people before their relatives can claim them. Gravediggers have laid dozens of unidentified bodies side by side in two large backhoe-dug furrows in Gaza City now holding 63 and 46 bodies, respectively, said Mohammed Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital.

    Wow an election almost…20 years ago? And how many since? Hmm what’s the age of the population in Gaza? And what’s the voting age?

        What does it not? There have been no elections in 20 years. It’s a dictatorship and a huge amount of Gazans had no say whatsoever in their “leadership”.

            By killing thousands of them? By removing access to water, internet, By bombing hospitals and infrastructure? By keeping them trapped in an open air prison? No I don’t think so, if Israel wanted to help the Palestinians there are a million positive things they could do to get rid of hamas, destroying the homes and livelihoods of Palestinians is not one of them.

                Some of you may die, but that’s a price I am willing to pay? Terrible terrible take.

                First to answer? Far from it, unanswerable? No, build bridges, don’t bomb them. It’s not being dodged by anyone.

                    So I provide a potential solution and you hand wave it away, your solution is to destroy gaza kill thousands of Palestinians, leave the survivors in rubble with no water or food. Wipe your hand, and pat your back for a job well done? This won’t destroy hamas, and it would be foolish to think it would.
