  1.  @rd123.  Hamas did. Gaza as a whole didn't.

  2. Your obvious whataboutism aside, this isn't helping the Gazans nor is it helping Iran. Iran managed to divert attention from the plight of the Gazans to Israel's new shooting war with Iran. This new war is not a land war, so it does practically nothing to relieve the pressure on the Gazans. At best, Israel will divert some aerial assets to bomb targets within Iran, but it's no biggie for an air force like Israel's. Perhaps most importantly, Israel scored some sympathy points, and Israelis are closing ranks, too, feeling even more embattled. And what was previously a pure proxy war is now a direct conflict, where Israel feels justified to strike at targets within Iran -- something it has not done previously. Netanyahu must be mighty pleased with the Ayatollahs -- they prolonged the crisis and silenced some of his critics, keeping him longer in power.

  3. Britain already is. Do the Houthis, who're Iran's proxy, ring a bell?

  4.  @rd123.  Britain never owned Palestine. Britain had a League of Nations mandate to administer the territory till it was ready for self-administration. Arabs held land rights, as did Jewish inhabitants. The nascent UN's partition plan heavily favoured the Jews, which expectedly angered the Arab inhabitants. It was a major screw-up on the UN's part -- a blunder with long-term repercussions. It's about time historic wrongs are set right, or the conflict will last another 75 years.

  5. Be that as it may, this isn't helping the Gazans. On the contrary, even.

  6. Russia can ill-afford to open up another front. The war in Ukraine is already bankrupting Russia.

  7. The question is, does Iran really expect Israel not to retaliate in kind? Israeli military planners must be salivating at the opportunity to strike Iran directly. Iran just provided a very welcome excuse.

  8.  @kanedNunable  That's highly debatable. Iran uses proxies to attack Israel and Israel attacks their Iranian handlers, thus far on foreign soil. Try to keep it civil, buddy.
