Okay but this is another striking double standard. The idea that after 10/7, it is incumbent on Israel to just return to the 10/6 status quo is bizarre to me. We have come to expect and accept an ambient level of violence from Iran's proxies such that we rely on the Iron Dome and bunkers in each Israeli residence to maintain any sense of broader peace. The laughably low expectation that traditional rules of territorial sovereignty and violence don't apply to Hamas and Hezbollah is disrespectful. Gazans should have to live under Hamas's thumb and accept border violence with Israel because we're afraid of the collateral damage of the alternative? The degree to which Hamas's actions shoudl be imputed to Gaza generally was always an elephant in the room of how one judge's Israel response. The IDF is losing me now that they are continuing into Rafah, but I always thought that the endgame here was an occupation and buffer zone of parts of Gaza, and it was hard for me to fault Israel for that despite the optics.
I don't recall saying return to the status quo of 10/6. That would only breed more violence.
Also, I wasn't aware of your Israeli citizenship.
