~40k Hamas fighters in Gaza can't hold the other 99.9% non combatants population hostage. This is an excuse to lump all Palestinians in with the Hamas fighters.

Flour was allowed in to feed the people then one of the only remaining bakeries in Gaza was bombed. What is that but an attempt to starve the people of Gaza. Again maybe 1 in 1000 people is Hamas so 999 people have to starve to cut off Hamas?

How about Westbank, where there is no Hamas. Why are they bombing Palestinians in the Westbank if this is all about Hamas and taking them out?

    You clearly don't understand group think and herd mentality. Have you ever ignored someone with an assault rifle, or your government, or seen how small groups can control larger ones? Less than 10% of Germany were a part of the nazi party but they had the control of government and the population. America just had one gunman shut down an entire city, and they didn't control the hospitals, utilities or police.

    My maths may be off, but you are also looking at 40k combatants in a 20 sqkm area. You are welcome to argue with one of them.

    Plenty of Hamas in the west bank including one of their leaders I know of. They are more popular than Fatah in a lot of places.

    So do 999 people have to starve for 1 Hamas fighters or could there be a better solution or is the final solution the only viable one for the Palestinians?

    Palestinians in Gaza have been offered citizenship, relocation for their families, and a financial reward to snitch on Hamas.

    Hamas is very popular unfortunately. Still hundreds, maybe thousands now, of collaborators including the family of its leadership.

    Oh yea also your numerical comparison is more like 1/50 are Hamas fighters or directly involved. We (as in everyone native to the region) have big families with lots of kids which is why the population demographics look like they do. My grandma was 1 of 12 siblings. The guy I linked is 1 of 9. But as the guy I linked said the kids are taught and expected that being a militant fighter is a noble goal so a few young men in each family end up becoming fighters with family support.

    First you bomb their houses, schools, and hospitals, then you offer them a financial reward to snitch.

    I don't think that makes anyone but the dumbest motherfucker excited.

    Take it or leave it.

    Ones the shortest path to a good life for the kids. Being stubborn and martyring for the cause is what everyone there is taught is right at the schools. Including the UN run ones.

    And you seemed to have missed the citizenship and relocation to a safe place with protection. The only threat to them at that point is the violent thugs that run their government and the people who think collective punishment is OK who want revenge.

    Germans went through this too BTW.

    Did an entire country of Afghanistan citizens have to suffer for the actions of 20 who took out an attack of US soil?

    15 of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Egypt, and one from Lebanon.

    19 hijackers none of whom were from Afghanistan, or Iraq. I wonder if the US probably prepared their war into Afghanistan from Saudi bases?
