    Game theory could support a harsh response,

    You mean the brutality everybody was ignoring before Hamas’ attack that didn’t manage to prevent such an attack?

      Well we don’t know what would have happened on the other timeline where gaza didn’t face consequences for electing Hamas.

      Deterrence means there had to be reprisals even if you think things were brutal beforehand. They clearly got more brutal. Suggesting they should maintain the status quo after such an attack doesn’t make sense to me.

        Yes we do - Israel would have acted like the genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialism state it has been since it’s creation.

          Israel has never been genocidal, for obvious reasons. If wiping out Palestinians were their goal, they certainly could do it more effectively, IDF is often warning people about incoming attacks, and publishing justifications for attacks.

          The reason Palestine lost land was because they declared war on Israel and lost, refused to concede, declared war again, lost, refused to concede, then continued terrorist attacks against them for the next 60 years.

          But sure just call it colonialism or genocide or whatever fucking buzzwords you think will get public opinion to give a shit about this group that absolutely caused their misery by remaining uncompromising, violent, and poking the bear every chance they get.

          Regarding the whiteness of Jews:

          Significant percentages of Israelis are very non-white, but I know you’re just doing mental backflips trying to inappropriately conflate Israel with their old enemies, the Nazis.

            Israel is a genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialist state. It’s only white supremacists that disagree.

            trying to inappropriately conflate Israel with their old enemies ideological cousins, the Nazis.

            FTFY.

        I get you’re repeating propaganda pieces, but you really dropped the ball on this one. The blockade started before Hamas was elected.
