Yes, other countries not only starve children after a terrorist attack but bomb them (Syria bombing Yarmouk, or razing entire villages) kidnap them and place in reeducation camps for years (China with Uyghurs) etc. It is all horrific stuff. But even if Israel wants to go scorched earth on Gaza, why not bring friends? Why not have Egypt invade from the rafah crossing side and share the blame? Even from the perspective of not giving Hezbollah and Syria and Iran an excuse, and safeguarding Israeli lives, why not accept help? It’s not like the terrorusts are going anywhere, they’re trapped! I want to know what happened to the proposals that neighboring countries have advanced in 2014 and why Israel always goes it alone. The more I observe politics during wartime the more shocked I am at the apparent sheer stupidity of the politicians. Is Hanlon’s razors appropriate here?

Egypt will never invade Gaza, as Egypt doesn't want Gaza strip (both land and people living in that strip). Egypt doesn't want to transform Palestinian problems into Egyptian problems. Egypt will get the blame for Hamas' actions.

  >> After the dissolution of the All-Palestine Government in 1959, under the excuse of pan-Arabism, Egypt continued to occupy the Gaza Strip until 1967. Egypt never annexed the Gaza Strip, but instead treated it as a controlled territory and administered it through a military governor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip Gee, why don't they want it, or its citizens, or to open the border now? The border was open a couple years ago. Oh, wait. Gaza elected Hamas, who backed the Muslim Brotherhood, who sent terrorists to overthrow the Egyptian government. Hey - how come the "Palestinian refugee camps" in Jordan and Lebanon are full of the grandchildren of people who can never and will never be allowed visas or allowed to work in those countries? The "Palestinians" exist only as a bullshit made-up group of Arabic people who the countries all around Israel refuse to accept into their population, and instead preferred to use as a lever for international support. Preferred being the key word here. Now that it is no longer to their benefit, they have no more interest in the Palestinian "cause". But they can't integrate and make citizens the Palestinians or else they would be admitting a large group of terrorists [strike that; Extremely angry and misled people] to their already fractious / fragile societies. The Palestinians are left as a permanently used sub-class in all other Arab countries.
