Would you choose a slow guaranteed death through oppression or risk a possible quick death for a better life for all your family and friends?

I'm asking you. Not your opinion of a whole population. I'm asking you. Imagine yourself in that camp, being bombed daily. What do you choose to do to survive and thrive as a human?

There was no guaranteed death, things were very difficult and would have continued to be for a long time. At least there was hope.

Now there is a guaranteed death, thanks to Hamas.

“for a better life” in this case the leveling of the entire Gaza Strip and the obliteration of ANY hope of self governance?

Half the population of Gaza is 19 and under. Sounds like a guaranteed early death for me if few people are living to an old age.

Why again do they need to be caged up for generations?
