That is not a justification or a moral judgement, it's just a fact that this will happen. This is what has always happened throughout history. To deny it is to deny reality.
Something Oct-7 shaped was bound to happen. You can't kick people in the face for 50 years, give no perspective for improvement, kick them harder in the face when they object, and expect all of them to forever turn the other cheek and have carefully nuanced opinions on the matter. That's just not how people work.
Current actions are not just killing Palestinians, it's also killing (future) Israeli. A new Oct-7 shaped event is bound to happen again if the current course is followed.
None of this is rocket science. None of this is a novel insight. People have been saying this for decades (have we forgotten the previous events like the intifada, the wide-spread protests 5 years ago, etc. etc.)? Some people were seemingly born on the morning of Oct 7 or something.
And Israel controls much of the comings and goings of the Rafah crossing, if that's what you're referring to. Egypt doesn't want any trouble with Israel, doesn't really like Hamas, and is also not really looking forward to a mass exodus of impoverished Palestinians as it's already a poor and extremely densely populated country with its own problems.
Could Egypt do better? I suppose. But it's nowhere near equivalent. Egypt is in a near-impossible position.
Right. Because there are always just two options when you're designing a strategy.
Because the civilian death toll far outweighs the militant casualties?
As if that is the only other option.
How has Israel succeeded in rescuing hostages so far? With the exception of one, the answer is negotiation.
As for the removing Hamas part, could you share an example of a terrorist organisation being bombed out of existence?
Why do you rush to attack?
