    but a million-plus people dying of dehydration, starvation, or treatable illness isn’t a better look than people dying in a ground assault.

    well you can just say: “It’s a side effect of war, HAMAS can use those resources too! we cannot allow that to happen”, but when your troops are on the ground and can see what they’re killing Al-Jazeera becomes a problem.

    The same can be applied to airstrikes: “They cannot see what they’re hitting”

    their already-shaky international support would collapse.

    I can assure you that they can kill nearly anyone in the middle east at this point and that won’t happen, they can kill an entire population and they will get away with it if they do it over a long enough period of time.

    increasing desperation could benefit them.

    You might be right, it looks like the invasion is very close.
