In reply to the discussion: Might Exceeding 4K Be The Trigger Point? [View all]until the citizens of gaza rise up and throw hamas to the curb they are going to pay teh price.
Why? They didn't demand that Hamas attack Israel.
The American people didn't demand that the U.S. invade and occupy Iraq, but our leadership lied their way into attacking Iraq, resulting in over a million dead civilians over the long run.
Utilizing your standard, the Iraqi people have the right to come to this country and kill Americans.
they support a terrorist group.
As President Biden stated:
"We can't lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas and the appalling attacks"
Not to mention about half of the citizens of Gaza are children.

Irrelevant to the current situation and the Hamas atrocities that triggered it.

Given what our government gets up to abroad, I wouldn't tug at that thread.
