To be honest i've never understood why they need those weapons in Gaza in the first place. People say for defence but long distance rockets and tunnels to perform terrorist attacks are not things used for defense. The fact is, if Gaza were to be more passive and only act when Isreal crosses their borders the whole world would be behind them, and Israel would face complete isolation from the rest of the world. I understand the struggles and their isolation, and if i were in Palestinian shoes feeling that Israel hade taken away my homeland i wouldn't like to just sit by and do nothing. But the way that they are handling the situation now is just not smart, even Egypt keeps the Gaza area completely isolated(something you don't hear many people about). Personally i have my own theory why Israel is waging this current war, and that is to weaking Hamas as much as people in fear of an attack from the north/east(and try to prevent a two front war). In Syria you have the rebels, and in Irak (and partly Syria two) you have the fanatical ISIS. If any of those truly get to control their own region, and attack on Israel is very likely the next step. |
Egypt is not Gaza's ally I agree. But Egypt does not bombard Gaza every other year though.. I just think it's easy judging what is the ideal reaction for Gaza from the outside, but to be in it is a totally different scenario. Desperation nad poverty brings out the worst, and I can't imagine how I would react in their place tbh. I agree though, ideally there are other ways, but it's not like the Palestinians in West Bank enjoy the best leisures..
