Well, those children should have thought about that when they voted Hamas into power.

Well, that comment sent me down a rabbithole.
I just found out that Israel has an "unwritten" constitution. Which I guess is a hodgepodge of specific laws passed, case law, and customs. It's all pretty boilerplate, and interestingly, Hebrew is designated the national language while Arabic is given "special status."
The two things that stand out are the largely symbolic "nation-state" law that declares Israel the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people and a law requiring a referendum before the state cedes any territory to foreign entities.
Not much about religion, aside from some boilerplate stuff about the different communities in Jerusalem.
Don't forget, either, that Arab-Israeli Muslims make up almost 20 percent of Israel's population. Not to mention the Christian and Druze Arab-Israelis.

Not a good time to be a Palestinian.
When was the good time?
I'm admitting historical ignorance here. I know about the Jewish diaspora, and the Holocaust, and U.S. and U.K. setting up nation of Israel which wasn't good for Palestinians. No clue what their conditions were for the 2000 years in between. I'm guessing probably not that good either, but hopefully better than modern times.

I was always(wrongly) under the impression that the period immediately after ww2 with the creation of the state of Israel, was when things turned bad for the Palestinians, but that’s the tail end of the story.

Interesting developments this morning...
According to various Twitter accounts, Israel restored the water supply to Gaza. Obviously this is a result of international pressure.
Iran has warned Israel of a "huge earthquake" if Israel does not stop the destruction and call off their ground operation. This is not an idle threat, it is a very serious warning that the entire Resistance axis is going to attack Israel, and soon if things don't change. Iran has also said it would be "impossible" for them to stay out of it.
At the same time, Israel is saying its delayed their operation "due to the weather". I can't be sure but this may be a sign they are getting cold feet.
I suspect that the US may be putting pressure on Israel behind the scenes to cool things off. I don't think the US wants to go to war with Iran right now.
At the same time there were some half a million (!) or so protesters chanting slogans against Netanyahu in the streets of Tel Aviv last night. This is another good sign that perhaps the Israeli people themselves do not want a major war. Although there are also some that are protesting because they think Netanyahu isn't going far enough. The intentions of the crowd seem to be mixed.
Overall, I see reasons to be cautiously optimistic for the moment. The region is on the brink of a serious war that will involve almost the entire Middle East, and which is guaranteed to drag the US in by default. I think the Israelis are starting to realize how bad this could get. I hope they will see wisdom and call off the ground operation before it's too late.
