Many don't seem to understand that Israel has had total control of what enters Gaza for decades.

In 2005-6 Israel blockaded the Gaza Strip and this resulted in the election of Hamas.

Israel has been well aware of all rockets in Gaza and they know those rockets are pathetic - enough to leave a random mark in Israel, or wound a random person, but nothing more.

Israel has been well aware of how the aid to Gaza has been used by Hamas.

Israel depends on the firing of the pathetic rockets from Gaza in order to justify "mowing the lawn" (carpet bombing Gaza with massive 'dumb bombs' and a few targeted missiles).

This specific war started in 2007, when Hamas did what Israel planned for them to do: fired a few pathetic rockets into random areas that had no lethal impact 99.9% of the time.

Israel supported this as a form of controlled opposition, in order to carpet bomb much of Gaza in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and this year, as a form of genocide against 10s of thousands of Palestinian in Gaza and the West Bank.

All of this is part of a larger plan set up by Bibi and fascists in 1996.
