I agree on many counts. I’m still at odds over the destruction in Gaza. The air strikes were also counterproductive from the get go when it came to the goal of bringing the hostages home safely. I was terrified for the people of Gaza - no matter how brainwashed they may be it’s not their fault. But with that said, I’m not sure that the severity of the threats against Israel and the whole of the Middle East (and the west) didn’t actually necessitate that level of destruction. It’s a total waste and disastrous for the environment, but rebuilding from scratch without Hamas or any terror groups at the helm may have always been the only viable solution s
