No matter what the facts on the ground are, Israel is an incompetent and poorly governed state. Based solely on the demographics and economics, the average Israeli is far more to blame for the current state of affairs, than the average Palestinian — the average Israeli has been alive over a decade longer than the average Palestinian, and the average Israeli is about 20x wealthier than the average Palestinian...

More than 2/3's of Gaza's population are under 30, and the vast majority are not only poor, but poorly educated. Only a few % of the population are over 65. Most developed economies have an over 65 population of 10-20%, including Israel... The stats aren't much better for the West Bank. Essentially, 99% of the Palestinian population have lived their entire existence under Israel's apartheid rule — segregated in either Gaza or the west bank.

Contrast that to Israel, which is a wealthy, well-educated, developed economy; that have maintained similar demographics with the rest of the developed world, and actually far exceed the USA in most statistics related to quality of life and standard of living.

When will the world stop acting like an impoverished, uneducated, largely illiterate non-state — that isn't even recognised by most of the world — populated by children and young adults... Should have it's shit together and act with more wisdom and humility than a rich, educated, developed country; governed by middle aged adults and boomers?

Instead, Netanyahu just consolidated an emergency mandate with the support of his opposition on the cabinet, widened the right wing majority on the Knesset (israeli congress) and is about to commit a US sponsored genocide.

Something to the effect of 90% of Israelis hold Netanyahu accountable for this. He'll stick around through the unity government to see the war to its end, but his political future is absolutely dead after this.

It's not that it's not happened in 50 years, it's that it's the anniversary of an event and it's a big anniversary. Instead of a slightly raised security presence, it was markedly reduced. The US has heightened security every year on key holidays, and the US does't have such an immediate threat right next door. Meanwhile Israel is generally more militaristic as a nation with mandatory service. The lack of defensive forces present on the day is just ludicrous.

Egypt warned them days before, the USA has confirmed the warning by Egypt.

I'm not so sure on this, I think the US politicians that said this could well be repeating the same single source we've heard. Egypt didn't officially say that they notified Israel, either, that came from a source within Egypt's intelligence services. It may well be true, but I just wouldn't rate those statements as good evidence - as far as I'm aware no one from within the US intelligence community has confirmed it.

but I think they’d rather not have hundreds of Israelis held captive and over a thousand dead.

I think the average Israeli wouldn't want that. I also think the ultraconservative faction (which includes most of the current govt) is celebrating this opportunity to seize more land.
