Seems insane.

Because if you were not to allow that Palestine is an entity separate from Israel, then this is similar to what China did to the Urghers (sp), attacking a group internal to their own country, to which the world had very little response except for very careful condemnation.
I'm not reframing anything, as I've mostly abandoned this thread because the posts are very tribal. I'm asking about whether this is considered a war, or if this is three groups in people's minds. Hamas, Israel and Palestine (or four, IDF).
If Hamas is separate from Palestine, the questions that arise about liberation from them are more interesting than half the posts in here. Would Palestine taking an active role in their removal stop the war?
