this isn't the US fighting tribes thousands of km away from home. This is israelis not willing to accept hamas' existence anymore, right across the border. You're learning the lessons of Taliban/Al-Quada the wrong way, because you see a bunch of people who look like the taliban doing attacks and stop thinking. This is not the same situation, nor will Israel accept the situation that existed on October 7th to ever happen again. The old status quo is gone and there won't be a return to it ever, and the current status quo between israel/hamas/iran is decided by who ignores the UN/international pressure the longest. Absolutely nobody has any incentive to listen to calls for ceasefire unless they are in mortal threat, which is what Israel is working on and what hamas started with. The restraint is gone - there is no reason for anyone to hold back because holding back now creates a worse future position.
