Just a silly joke because reading about it made me agree more with the "pro-Israel" side of the debate.
I didn't look too deeply at what the IDF has been doing since Oct 7. War is always hell and I'm sure there are some unnecessary and unacceptable things happening. But it's difficult to get trustworthy information, because the conflict is mired in propaganda and there's no independent journalism in Gaza. For example, Israel will say the only "aid" they block is what would have gone to Hamas, and that they send proper aid to the population via the GHF, while the Palestinian side will say that the GHF is a sham and doesn't help people. It's impossible for me to figure out which side is more truthful.
So, absent of detailed knowledge, I default to "big picture" logic: Twenty years ago, the Gazan population elected an organization whose stated mission is to destroy Israel, and the attack on Oct 7 showed that this wasn't just posturing, rhetoric, metaphorical, etc. but something that actually culminates in physical attacks, mostly on civilians. So, Israel had to dismantle Gaza.
