But there is no good solution to the crisis. Israel had not been in Gaza for 20 years before October, and all that happened from it was a chance to entrench tunnels and launch rockets, infesting schools, hospitals, and apartments with threats to their civilians.

Israel spent those years literally facilitating payments to Hamas and promoting their survival in order to delegitimize Palestinian statehood. You try to paint it as if this threat has emerged against Israel despite its best good faith efforts, when in fact Israel made sure Hamas had the money and longevity to be a threat in the first place.

The Hamas tunnel claims have continuously been proven to be outrageously overstated by Israeli officials who have gone so far as to say every second home and building is part of a grand underground society.

You say you disavow everything Israel is doing but then insist "there's no good solution", as if to say that Israel's solution is as (not) good as any. But it's not, it's internationally condemned for obvious reasons, and the idea Israel has exhausted alternative options to razing Gaza to the ground is nakedly dishonest.
