    They’ve been scuffing the boots of IDF soldiers for years and they’re still going

    But, hey, I’m sure the US is totally different, look at how easy and cheap it was for us to occupy Iraq /s

      Not really. October 7th was a massive overplay on the part of Hamas. They launched a state level military invasion into Israel. In the hopes of a better prison swap. It was an absolute disaster for the people of Palestine as well the Hamas and it’s backers.

      Hamas is effectively ended as well as the support networks in neighboring countries that were helped by Iran.

      There is no longer a state level actor in the region effectively supporting military action. It will take years before anything effective can happen on the ground.

      There is no longer a state level actor on the ground supporting humanitarian action.

      Now is very different than before. This is not the same old same old that had been going on for a long time. The status quo has changed and there is a very real possibility that Palestine will vanish.

      Not to mention, Trump is a peacetime president. He’s ending the Ukraine War and the Israel Palestine War day 1 week 1 whenever convenient committing US troops to Gaza to commandeer the land and redevlop it as a US territory, while also threatening to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and to annex Canada, and requesting Zelensky allow Putin to ravage Ukrainian land and likely install puppet govt while prosecuting any Ukrainian loyalists as the Russians see fit.

      You know. Peaceful things.
