      These are extremely different situations, but also to suggest that ISIS is at all a major player right now is silly.

        It all has to do with driving recruitment, mass killing of Palestinians will bolters hamas, and the thing about terrorist organizations is that they don’t have to be “major players”.

              Hamas is currently the government. It won’t be the same.

              I’m not saying there won’t be terrorism. There are already other terrorist groups in Gaza. There will be terrorism.

              But the Gazan people will be able to have elections and have self-determination again.

              If anything, this is a totally practical, non-morality reason why Israel should be setting up aid camps. There’s really no argument against it. They should be showing a closed fist to Hamas and an open hand to Gazans in general.

                I agree on your last statement, flattening residential areas however I’d not an open hand to Palestinians. This will get worse before it gets better.
