Unfortunately, it's not just the government. There are mobs preventing aid from getting in, and almost half the country supports what's happening in Gaza.

True. And it's also true that some Palestinians are allied with the Hamas terrorists. Also unfortunate. The victims are Israeli and Palestinian civilians.
