If he starts the war, it's him whi will be responsible for that. That war forced me to immigrate in my early 40s, with two kids being 6 and 3. It's not easy. I really thought about it long and hard and I witnessed what was happening in Russia first hand. My opinion about making population - rather than leadership - responsible to prevent wars comes from my personal experience and doesn't have anything to do with Gaza - before the October 7th that is.

Gaza is not Russia though. Russia doesn't have another country controlling it's existence. Gazan's can't escape as you did.
