Foreign Minister Penny Wong says Israel has a right to defend itself, and judging its security decisions from a distance is "very difficult", as Israel's government vows to cut off food and water to the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, have vowed to exterminate Israel. Of course they're not going to let them self govern.

You only need to look at the West Bank for an example of how things would play out with a more cooperative Palestinian government. Same shit, no autonomy, no say in its future, no say in its foreign policy, with the added bonus of a slow ethnic cleansing as Israel slowly annexes it's land.

There are no good guys here.

To be clear, Israel is far from blameless in this, you're quite right about that.
