Should have been a lot of things. Bibi can go get fucked but in the here and now Israel is going to make sure this conflict ends by force. No more Hamas for nutcases like Bibi to fund.
A lot fewer, based on the attacks so far. While I’m sure lots of people would prefer Gaza to be pushed into the ocean, the end result will likely still be Palestinian but with a different government and decades of rebuilding. It sounds like Israel is mirroring the Iraq or Japan invasion method which means a tear down and rebuild of government that will need to keep promises about launching rockets and other attacks.
That’s not how stopping terrorism works. Look at Afghanistan. The US spent 20 years trying to kill them off. For every one killed, 2 more got radicalized. It’s almost like slaughtering them makes them hate the occupiers more, not less. The Taliban took back the whole country in a couple days after being occupied for 20 years. Stopping terrorism with violence doesn’t work.
Wasn’t Netenyahu sending funds to Hamas?Maybe stopping that should have been the first step.

No more Palestinians either, apparently.

Afghanistan is a giant country. Gaza is the size of Las Vegas. Do you think maybe that will have an impact?
