Excellent point. Many months ago already, an Israeli official was asked how the IDF would react when a group of Hamas terrorists would held Israeli families hostage in a condominium in an Israeli city. Answer: we'd send in the special forces. Apparently indiscriminate bombing of that condo was not an option, when it concerns Israeli civilians.

There seems to be a persistent opinion that Hamas can be destroyed, eliminated. Especially within the Netanyahu government, supported by Biden. It's a fantasy. Sure you can kill as many Palestinians as you want, and convince yourself that have eliminated Hamas, and have achieved security for Israel. Sure. In the meantime you have created generations of potential terrorists. And not just among Palestinians. Those ideas (of destroying, eliminating Hamas) are simply a product of the systemic racism in the Netanyahu government, which is made obvious every single day. With the unwavering support of Biden, of course.

Yes, I know that. But it is a prominent thought among the far right in Israel, and Netanyahu depends on the far right. You could also simply look at the results of Israel's policies, not just in Gaza, but also the West Bank. Gaza has become inhabitable. Not just by the rubble that's left, but also by the toxic materials everywhere, the destroyed infrastructure. On the West Bank Palestinian farmers are daily harassed and attacked by illegal settlers, driven off their land, with the support of the IDF. For many years already, but intensified since October 7th. And without any opposition from America, of course. The idea of the two-state solution is a fantasy, it doesn't matter that Biden and Blinken keep babbling about it. If you don't recognize the ethnic cleansing here, you must be blind.

You must have missed this part: 25 'Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip, as Israel fights the Hamas terror group. “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds'

Your disdain for human life, in this case Palestinian, is obvious. Since Israel doesn't allow journalists in Gaza, or rather attack and kill them if they have the chance, I have to rely on UN reporting. And Israel's deliberately hindering and attacking food transports doesn't bother you at all I guess. Israel's defense minister Gallant explicitly declared a policy of starving Gaza, just after October 7th. ' Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip, as Israel fights the Hamas terror group. “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip.

You wonder why? That's odd. Maybe because the conflict in Gaza and the West Bank is the worst conflict at this moment. War crimes, and ethnic cleansing (let's leave out genocide for the moment) with the assistance of American money and weapons. And many of those students may very well have family ties with Gaza. You know, those families that have been erased indiscriminately with the help of 2000 pound American bombs. You should read up about official IDF policies.
