This is a refreshed megathread for any posts on the conflict between (so far, and so far as I know) Hamas and the Israeli government, as well as related geopolitics. Culture War thread rules apply.

Israel needs to find a way to make Palestinians wealthier so they lose interest in fighting. The only bomb that can pacify a restive population is a money bomb.

How are they supposed to do that while Hamas runs the place?

Palestinians get wealthier -> Palestinians use wealth to buy weapons -> Palestinians attack Israel more effectively.

You mean like the work permit program that was going on and growing prior to the attack?

Totally insufficient. Unemployment was massive.

arent they doing that? remove hamas, demilitarize gaza like they did west bank. West Bank is much wealthier than Gaza.
