In Afghanistan around 2010 you had this campaign to "win hearts and minds",...afghans were employed by Americans to work jobs on military bases in Afghanistan that paid so good that they would risk death to go around Taliban road blocks to get to work,.. tremendous aid given to Iraq and afghan governments,..(which honestly most likely siphoned into corruption there),..but a much more tremendous outreach in those countries,..no siege was laid,..when a major city was attacked, 90 percent of the population escaped,.....
gaza is a siege and a Putin-esque endeavor on civilians,....it is a program to "shit on hearts and minds",...and will ensure that generations from now, the problems will persist
