The fact that you think forcing hamas to surrender is as simple as simply having the UN vote on it and the West getting involved would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.

Even if they did all that, people would raise a fuss about foreign intervention and western-backed influence. Hamas would still be hiding beneath hospitals and schools, using human shields, and there would still be brutal fighting in an attempt to root them out.

Israel’s response has been completely disproportionate and counter to international law and human rights, but just because you suddenly support someone else with the stated purpose of eliminating hamas doesn’t immediately neutralize the complex realities of modern warfare.
