And unlikely to end Hamas, for that matter.

This is what I don't get. Even if we take them at their word that they're finishing this for good, did they not learn a goddamned thing from 20 years of failed US military intervention attempting the same thing? Like... here I am just a Palestinian living in a slum exacerbated by blockades just trying to raise a family and unfortunately for me Hamas now controls the neighborhood I live in and I can't do shit about it because they're also being supported by outside nation-states no less. On the flip-side, it seems they're the only marginal deterrent from IDF simply annexing and bulldozing my house... Then Hamas does something stupid; but then Israel claiming to be the good guys levels my apartment and kills my mother, wife, and kids...

Yeah, you bet I would radicalize after that.

So ultimately, the IDF is further destabilizing the region, not even addressing the root causes of extremism, and sowing further October 7ths down the road when all these orphans grow up.

The hard-right government there wants there to always be chaos so they can remain in power indefinitely.
