The truly innocent victims in Palestine, are victims of Hamas. When Hamas surrenders and returns the hostages, makes reparations to the families, and turn over their war criminals to the courts, then we can talk about what Israel can and should do to help "innocent" Gazans recover.
Gazans chose Hamas as their leaders. They made a terrible mistake. Now Gaza needs to turn on Hamas and turn them over to justice. It really is that simple. Short of instigating a World War - which may yet happen - there was never any plausible expectation that Hamas could win a war with Israel. So what, pray tell, was the purpose of October 7th? (I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with it being a presidential election year in the U.S. Nope, couldn't be.)
