All residents of the Gaza Strip did this? They all bear collective guilt because some were driven to terrorism?
Here in the US, we have people who think US history with Japan began on Dec. 7th, 1941 or history with the Middle East began on September 11th, 2001. Israel's history with Gaza did not begin on October 7th, 2023.
All of Japan was not guilty of Pearl Harbor or the atrocities committed across the Pacific Islands and China. All of Afghanistan was not responsible for Al-Qaida flying jets into the Twin Towers. All of Gaza was not responsible for flying over a wall to murder civilians, and Israel's response has escalated tensions instead of bringing peace.
RE: How big is Israel's military really? Hint: Wikipedia is WRONG!
