> has been able to keep some of its services online during Israel’s military response to Hamas’s attack. Looks clear-cut whose fault it is, everything was just peachy for everyone until Hamas just decided to attack out of the blue.

  Except of course for those who ended up living in Gaza without that being their choice.

    I'm afraid the sarcasm didn't come across well. The article makes it sound like Israel was just peacefully minding its business when Hamas attacked, forcing it to retaliate, which we all know is not the case.

      You really should add a /s if you feel the need to be sarcastic on sensitive subjects such as these, and maybe better still to not do it at all because it just invites more sarcasm or even worse.

        It seems like it, from the responses. Thanks Jacques.

  > everything was just peachy for everyone until Hamas just decided to attack out of the blue. Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict_in_2023 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Israeli%E2%80%... for an very short example of Palestinian suffering in this 70+ years of conflict. Wilful ignorance isn't a good reason to spout nonsense.
