Even if one believes the people of Gaza bear some responsibility for not overthrowing Hamas, that doesn't justify Israel for violating international humanitarian law. Collective punishment, targeting civilians, or blocking humanitarian aid are considered war crimes regardless of who governs a territory. Accountability for one party doesn't erase the legal and moral obligations of the other.

Trump is my president yet neither I, nor the majority of Americans, voted for him. So what's your point?
