I see that now two of the three pipelines that carry water from Israel to Hamas have reopened. That's something. Fuel still isn't getting to the hospitals, which is criminal. Food is only trickling into Gaza through the southern entrance. Hamas still holds almost all of their innocent civilians hostages captive, which is criminal.. Neither Egypt nor Israel is letting in any refugees from Gaza, though I read some talk somewhere that Egypt might accept a limited number. Now Israeli ground forces are inside Gaza.

Nowhere near enough is being done to aid Palestinian civilians, and Hamas is still an absolutely murderous regime that can't be allowed to plot the murder of thousands of Israeli citizens in continued peace and relative security. .I still believe Israel has no choice now but to uproot Hamas, and I still believe Israel is making a grave error in not doing more for Gaza civilians, even though it complicates their military actions to do so, and even if it increases the risk to their soldiers fighting inside Gaza to do so.
