And so with that, it shouldn't pose that large of a threat. Israel has a high GDP, Palestine does not. And Israel could effectively wipe Palestine off the map if they wish.
It's not about how significant the country might seem. It's how significant the allies of those countries are. Left to face off, Israel would "wipe Palestine off the map" but why haven't they done that since? They've been doing whatever they want to Palestine.
When Ukraine stood up to Russia people said the same thing but here we are today months later and the war is still on and Russia has not been able to successfully take over Ukraine.
This is a pointless conflict. Hamas can never win, and Israel can only kill more innocents just to try to hit a few combatants.
I guess the only ones who win are arm dealers.
They're fighting for what they believe in. You don't expect them to just sit down and watch while a superior power wipes them off the face of the earth.
To them, they're fighting for their freedom. It always seems impossible until it's done.
Secondly, for to be able to rise against Israel it means they must have been getting support somewhere. The motive of the people supporting them may be does not matter to them.
