Jeez. The article highlights the significant differences in the motivation of individual combatants; between Western militaries and their overseas ‘opponents’. One man defending his home is worth three in the attack…

How so? Hamas is getting slaughtered even though the IDF is outnumbered when operating in Gaza. In the latest hostage rescue just one Israeli died, while the IDF killed dozens of Hamas members guarding the hostages.

Every one of those deaths creates ten more committed Hamas members who will be willing to defend their homeland.

So? Israel just needs to blockade the borders and prevent weapons and materials flowing in, and those "committed Hamas members" will be slaughtered if they try to do anything about it. The only reason Oct 7th could happen was because Egypt allowed Hamas to "smuggle" in weapons via the Egypt-Gaza border. Israel now controls that border, along with every other Gazan border.
The only hope for Gaza is to either renounce their hatred of Jews and build a peaceful society. Or hope that Israel gets destroyed by some other entity other than Hamas.

So if you say that the reason this ignited was because Egypt allowed it to happen, isn't this saying that either, bribery took place, or Israel's neighbors are not ideologically aligned with Israel, or a combination of both, i.e, mutual incentives for an ideologically aligned bloc?
Saying that Israel needs to do x, y, z is just ignoring the fact that it didn't do that then, and that in the future it won't be able to control all of its neighboring states. It'll be some other proxy war. Israeli government can't change the surrounding world just because it wishes to. At some point, Gaza might be long gone, but in order to achieve that, Israeli government will heighten the hatred of those nations in the world that are opposed to the Israeli government.
No? I don't think the demise of Gaza is the end of the problem.

Renounce hatred for Jews? Are you trying to kill comedy lol
It’s better for all parties to create a Palestinian state in the West Bank, which is sandwiched between Israel and Jordan 🇯🇴
This won’t resolve all issues but a step in the right direction.
