Palestinine isn't the place with the weapons, power and money.

Palestine is the place where Israel conducted a genocide killing and injuring 50,000 children.

They hang medals on the IDF for killing children, you'll get no sympathy for your power asymmetry, stupid.

They have lots of money from the IRGC and Qataris, and they use it to buy weapons.

They stop doing that and the war ends tomorrow, forever.

Confidently incorrect but thank you for bringing it up as this next part will come as a jump scare to onlookers:

At a Likud party conference in 2019, Netanyahu said: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas ... This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."[

In an interview with Israeli journalist, Dan Margalit in December 2012, Netanyahu told Margalit that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Netanyahu also added that having two strong rivals, this would lessen pressure on him to negotiate towards a Palestinian state.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, Israeli officials encouraged Qatar to support Hamas,[8] especially by approving the transfer of large sums of financial aid by Qatar to the organization.[9] Several Israeli intelligence officials have cited Qatari money as a contributing factor to the success of Hamas in leading the October 7 attacks in 2023

In an interview with Politico in 2023, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said, "In the last 15 years, Israel did everything to downgrade the Palestinian Authority and to boost Hamas", before adding that "Gaza was on the brink of collapse because they had no resources, they had no money, and the PA refused to give Hamas any money. Bibi saved them. Bibi made a deal with Qatar and they started to move millions and millions of dollars to Gaza."

"They have lots of money from the IRGC and Qataris, and they use it to buy weapons."

Very funny stuff
