And if the Palestinians sink a U.S. Navy shop with a Russian supplied missile will we play the hypocrite and condemn Russia?
That being said, I hope Israel drives the entire population of Palestinians into Egypt.
Ask yourself if an American supplied missile was used. That could be the case. How would you feel about that?
That worries me even more. Nothing is as it seems. Definite chaos.

A missile can come screaming out of nowhere, and we’d have no clear idea who ordered it. Hell, it could come from Israel in a false-flag attempt to drag us into the conflict.
If Trump were in charge, cooler heads would prevail. But with Biden, literally anything is possible. Anything.
“I hope Israel drives the entire population of Palestinians into Egypt.”
To some degree, that could be an outcome from this. With a population of about two million Gazans in an area about the size of D.C., a ground Operation into Gaza would be urban warfare.
Urban warfare typically requires dropping buildings, to avoid having to take excessive casualties among friendly forces - all the more so if the entrenched enemy (Hamas) has been building bunkers and tunnels for a decade in preparation. There could be a lot of infrastructure destruction required to clear the area, which would mean a lot of refugees.
The Mediterranean is closer, and ensures fewer will be around in the future.
That’s what they should have done in 1973.
How about driving them into the sea instead? Driving them into Egypt wouldn't get rid of the problem permanently.
