    You’re right, it was completely avoidable. Bibi could have followed through on all that intelligence telling him of a pending Hamas attack. Hell, he could have never funded Hamas in the first place, which is why they even have power.

    Completely avoidable.

      Pretty sure Hamas was democratically elected but if you need to shift blame back to Israel with some impressive mental gymnastics go right ahead.

      If you could put down your hate for two seconds it’s time to realise Hamas aren’t winning this and dragging this war out is just hurting Palestinians.

        Calling Hamas “democratically elected” is a huge stretch. Hamas recieved 44.45% of votes in the last election, which was in 2006. They are absolutely not in any way accountable to the people they rule. The average Palestinian has about as much chance of freeing those hostages as I have of breaking people out of Guantanamo.
