Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now, do they think he failed by instituting inhumane conditions on Gaza leading to them lashing out? Or he failed by not oppressing them enough?

Or failed by diverting almost all the border guards over to the West Bank to oppress the Palestinians there.

But we need to how they feel about that second part...

The official policy on Hamas was to just sort of ignore them in favor of stealing land in the West Bank.

Not quite, Bibi's official policy was to continue actively undermining the Palestinian Authority so that Hamas was the only group capable of seizing power in the vacuum of Gaza.

I don't think people in Israel view it as a good or bad way, just by the results.

If someone tries to sell you on less freedom, less privacy, more surveillance, and you still get attacked, then people start to wonder what was the point. Regardless of the measures taken.
