“The “locals” seem to be Hamas...or their supporters”
For you and I, and in reality, they are as the locals elected them and then allowed them to stay in there. But too many of the people away from the situation like in the US, see the locals as poor innocent victims of the situation even though they allowed themselves to get into it and are not trying to stop it but bailing or offering themselves to help it allowing it to continue. And the US is enabling it to continue by trying to protect those poor innocent people from their own actions financially and using our morals to assist Hamas instead of them. Best thing we can do is let Israel protect itself and be a good ally and just shut up and stay out of the way. Same thing as the Ukraine.
