      Mexico attacking the US is an invalid comparison. Palestine isn’t attacking Israel, Hamas is

        Exactly, it’s more like the cartels attacked the US and we in retaliation started bombing mexico out of existence while invading them and taking all of their land.

          You do understand Hamas, the same Hamas that attacked Israel, is effectively the government of the Gaza strip right? The Palestinian authority had no recognized authority there.

          So that’s also a “terrible metaphor” because “it would be like the government of Mexico was the drug cartels, the drug cartels (which are the government) attacked the US and we in retaliation started bombing Mexico out of existence.”

          There’s no perfect metaphor.
