like seriously, what is wrong with you?
Due to white guilt, no matter how bad they have behaved the Gaza citizens have had numerous chances to dramatically improve their situation, and will probably have numerous more. But they will have to give up the dream of conquering Israel. And they have consistently chosen Jihad over peace. Fair enough.
However, now that Israel has decided it will no longer allow the Gaza people to be rewarded for bad behavior (by restraint from them and billions in aid from the West) and instead Gaza will be destroyed in response to provocation; it will be interesting to see if changing the incentive dynamic will change the attitude of the Gaza people.
It is one thing to do a cross border raid to murder hundreds and take hostages thinking you are going to get a 100:1 hostage/prisoner exchange down the road and billions in aid in response. It is another knowing your entire proto-state will be destroyed on top. Definitely changes the incentive structure.
