Wish I Could write, re Hamas, as well as this guy

With all due respect the “starvations” of the Germans Japanese or even currently the afghans or Iraqis weren’t broadcast to the world

@Yechiell asked “Why are people so blind and foolish?”

The reason:
because Israel, instead of focusing on protecting its own citizens by removing the threat swiftly and decisively while ensuring maximum safety for its holy fighters—in other words, instead of following the Halacha in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 329: עכו”ם שצרו על עיירות ישראל יוצאין עליהם בכלי זיין ומחללין עליהם את השבת—has taken it upon itself to protect the enemy. They have brainwashed the world into believing that the people of Gaza are innocent, and that it is Israel’s sacred duty to protect them. And this is presented as such a “holy” mission that Israel must sacrifice the lives of hundreds of soldiers and condemn thousands more to live disabled for life in order to uphold it.

And then they wonder: why does the world accept their narrative that the citizens of Gaza are innocent? Why does the world accept their claim that it is Israel’s responsibility to protect them? And why, after all that, does the world not give them credit for doing so? The answer is obvious. It doesn’t work that way. When Jews abandon their true responsibility of צדק ויושר—righteousness and justice—and instead endanger future generations of Jews, sacrificing hundreds of lives along the way, the nations of the world will never step in to validate them or praise them.

Israel’s current position is to cave to pressure at the expense of its own security and the lives of its soldiers. And the more they cave, the more condemnation, hatred, and pressure they invite. This pattern has gone on for years, and it is tragic that even the Simchas Torah massacre did not wake them up.

So, the short answer to your question is this: the Allied countries did their job swiftly and decisively. Israel, however, instead of doing its job—which could have been accomplished in a very short period of time by conquering Gaza and beginning Jewish settlement there (as outlined in the above-mentioned Halacha in Shulchan Aruch)—insists on proving to the world that it is “Western,” that it is a democracy, and not a Jewish nation acting with Jewish values. They declare openly that Gaza does not belong to Jews and must remain Judenrein. And they say to the people of Gaza אחינו אתה, while insisting that we must have a dragged-out war to protect the lives of those who set out to kill us. The reaction of the world is therefore exactly what one would expect.

@Square Root, I agree with you that what you described is the technicality of how it played out.
The cause is what I explained above: Israel has convinced itself that it is utterly dependent on the U.S. and international approval, and has placed itself into a deeply unhealthy, co-dependent, and abusive relationship with them—therefore putting international appeasement before the security and welfare of its own citizens and soldiers. And as in any abusive relationship, the more the abused tries to appease the abuser, the more the abuse escalates.
