What you are suggesting is happening, the collective punishment of a nation for terrorist acts, is a war crime:

Hamas is the ruling party/government of Gaza.

  • De facto, not de jure. Hamas is not a signee of genocide convention, so ICJ has no jurisdiction over them.

    • extremely pedantic take. there is no actual leadership (as we know it in the rest of the world) in palestine/gaza.

      this is all playing house. a real entity (like the US, UK, Australia, Urugay etc do) is participating in stuff like this... would you still hold the Taliban to the same standard? They are running Afghanistan but ... are they the real deal? No, lol.
