By your own logic, we should let Israel deal with its own problems. Why does the West have to keep supplying them with weapons?

Also, Israel's actions since Oct 7 have exceeded tenfold the depravity of Hamas's crimes on that date so it's interesting how selective your sympathy is. Getting kidnapped or killed by Hamas is horrible, obviously, but can the same not be said about getting carpet bombed by Israel?

USA went to war for 20years after 9/11

Yeah because that was such a successful thing and definitely didn't make things worse for all involved. It also totally didn't kill far more civilians in the Middle East than the 9/11 attacks killed civilians in the US.

Stop pretending that was some heroic thing and just admit that it was an act of revenge and collective punishment. Just like what Israel is doing right now.
