And if that Bolivia was between Mexico and the US, and kept on sending rockets, suicide bombers, and kidnappers, America would quickly get completely fed up and blast 'em to smithereens. Instead of 1700 dead there'd be 17,000. Or more. Arguments over news reporting would be a footnote.

Just web search for 'Qatar vs Saudi Arabia' and you'll see over a billion results. Hot enough for you?

There are no independent sources. I suppose we could imagine a super news organization that ran its own spy network. But on this planet, media get their information, especially on military matters, from the interested parties.

We already knew Israel had a high-tech military. But who of us knew Hamas was going that way too?

1. We don't have a good definition of "Terrorism" that is shared among us all, so the term becomes kicked around and abused. So I've stopped using it. By the way, the Hebrew word for terrorism does not involve the concept of terror or fear.

2. The governments involved, including the PA, have come to believe in a "Two State Solution", but Hamas does not. And Hamas is in a position to threaten the success of any 2-state plan, by taking over the West Bank, and starting another war with Israel. I believe this is the reason that Hamas is being destroyed. I think this is why the PA and several Arab states are very muted in their criticism of Israel during this war: Hamas is their enemy too.

   If Israel does not destroy Hamas this time around, then my theory is probably wrong.

3. Hamas never sought anything peacefully. The PA has engaged in diplomacy, but Hamas, not. The rest of your narrative is one-sided, propagandistic and tendentious, too.

As war becomes more Tech vs Tech, slight technical advantages can snowball into huge military advantages. Especially if you can modify the actions of your enemies systems in real-time.

The Times of Israel article doesn't say Hamas is funded with billions. It says Qatar spends that much on defense, some of which goes to Hamas.

I propose direct intervention by God. He should give precise instructions to each individual and group regarding where to live and what to do. We've lost the message.

Lacking that, some level of violence will continue.

The article you link to was from June 30. It was after then that Hamas increased its rocketing big time.

Or this video.

If Israel wanted to kill masses of Arabs, they would have. Instead, the populations of Gaza and the West Bank are soaring.

The Arabs are free to leave. There are practical difficulties, but the Israelis aren't preventing departure.

In Israel, Arabs and Druze have equal or nearly equal rights, and are judges, soldiers, lawyers, doctors, and businessmen. Arabic is one of Israel's national languages.

The acid test of whether criticism of Israel is really Jew hatred is if the standards applied to Israel are the same as for other countries. Compare the performance, for example, of Israeli air power on Gaza to the performance of American air power on Afghanistan. It turns out the ratio of civilians killed to bombs dropped is higher for the Americans.

Exactly correct.

That was in June. Hamas started rocketing again later in July, in a big way.

The smuggling tunnels go from Egypt to Gaza.
The terror tunnels go from Gaza to Israel.

Pretty easy to tell them apart.

I seem to remember that Iran has one Jew in their rubber stamp legislature.
