You need to understand that people in Gaza are desperate. Israel is not going to do the right thing. They have been committing war crimes for 75 years. Hamas is not going to do the right thing.
IMHO there need to be an outside peace keeping mission to mitigate this. Anything else is going to end up with a blood bath.
We think it's bad now? Wait until it escalates and the whole region blows up. What will Israel do when gets attacked by Hezbollah? How will Iran and Egypt react to what they see as meddling in the middle east by western powers? Europe is already not playing nice with Israel. US is going to need to soften their stance (and they have started to do already).
Israel attacking Gaza and blocking food and water (ie genocide) is as dumb as Hamas attacking Israel in the first place. This is what happens when you put political interest in front of what is good for your own people.
I am highly distressed by the fact that people are fucking dying as we speak and everyone seems to have one weird trick without understanding any history and without factoring in the context in tge region.
Do you have an idea as to what “the right thing” for Israel to do now is? It is easy to demand they stop attacking Gaza but I never read any proposals of what to do instead but “suck it up”. I think the only way to stop this is a trustworthy player in the region that can credibly assure Israel that they would help them remove Hamas from Gaza so they stop the destruction.
The people in Israel are also desperate. They left Hamas to their own devices and were hit with the largest attack in decades. Now they want Hamas gone - at any cost. The international community left them alone with the problem and now they want to solve it to prevent this from ever happening again. TBH I don’t dare to give advice to any side here any advice on what they should do. It’s a catastrophe that Hamas wanted and received. Loads and loads of people that receive no help and are left to die. There are many “should have” and “could have” to be said but what do they matter now?
A side note regarding escalation, if you care for my opinion on this:
I don’t think that Iran or Egypt will join any escalation by Hezbollah or Fatah. Russia is stretched thin anyways, Egypt gives 0 shit about Palestine and Iran will get completely dismantled by the US alone. Europe will not be a player in the region, we are completely busy with Ukraine and we likely cannot contribute anything that Israel needs (except ammunition, I guess). It will be a complete disaster of death and destruction for the region that no one wants - but I think Israel and the US are ready to fight it if anyone wants to escalate.
