The Brits made promises to both the Zionists and to the people who were already there. Bibi and his team supported Haamas as a strategy to divide the Palistinian people.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now its blown up in our faces
The premiers policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from
For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group.
The idea was to prevent Abbas or anyone else in the Palestinian Authoritys West Bank government from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.
(Snip)
Additionally, since 2014, Netanyahu-led governments have practically turned a blind eye to the incendiary balloons and rocket fire from Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israel has allowed suitcases holding millions in Qatari cash to enter Gaza through its crossings since 2018, in order to maintain its fragile ceasefire with the Hamas rulers of the Strip.
This is very similar to our own 9/11, where the Bush administration got a blank check after failing to ever justify why our military wasn't able to respond.

No, it's not. Israel is a sovereign nation. Only so much can be done to rein them in.

No one asked for military intervention. It's absurd to claim there were no other options.

There were other options -- several of which WERE tried -- but in the end, Israel did not need anyone's permission...

A poll taken earlier this year found nearly half of Israelis supported its army killing all Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel's territorial ambitions and the methods employed to accomplish it need to be "eliminated".

Of course Israel is not the poor defenseless innocent victim. And that bothers the hell out of a lot of Jew haters.
