Spending so much money on arms and tunnels is so silly

I just heard about tunnels of Hezbollah and all the arms in it. If I had that kinda money, I would buy my kids home, educate them, provide for my retirement, and their future...if possible. Why so much money has been wasted, and then Iran applauds Hamas for its act? That much money would buy Palestinians land elsewhere...that would be genuine help...how killing them, and keeping their future disturbed forever helps? I am not intelligent...so maybe the logic is beyond me. While love for land is understandable....if I were a peace loving person, I would someday be welcome and permitted to buy land in that place, isn't it? What permits me to risk the life of others? Including those who are not involved at all. I just read Judy Story's post on delayed rains...and all those climate changes we all are witnessing...all because of these wars are adding to the already precarious situation...

But the question is where would they buy the Palestinians the lands??? It is true that Israel was wronged by the 6-7 muslim nations but now Israel is doing wrong!! Where these Palestinians will be given settlement??? We know that even migrants are not getting any jobs in Europe anymore!!

There are many nations which allow people to buy lands...don't people resettle in countries like the US, Canada, and even Australia, New Zealand, and South American countries. People are allowed to own properties even in African countries....so.......... 1. I am confused about their history..........honestly, it is blow hot and blow cold relationship with arabs. When Iran was ruled by the Shah of Iran (Pehlavi dynasty), all was good between Israel and Iran. I think subsequently there were wars between Iraq and Iran. After Saddam was done away with by the western powers, Iraq became sort of headless state, enabling the proliferation of these Hezbollahs, Houthis, etc. They were used by Iran to wage proxy wars. 2. Israel is not a saint either...defying international court of justice.

@vandana7 Natives don't want that! This would be disturbing their ecosystem!! Israelis also bought lands in Palestine too and see.. Canadians are fed up with people going their as there's no jobs and no housing facilities!! Australia is already taking Gaza war victims but many right-wingers don't want!! US already has many homeless people! We are talking about lakhs or crores of war migrants! Is it possible to resettle them?? No!! So, all the countries should stop the war and should not pump Netanyahu!

@anya12adwi The lakhs or crores of migrants cannot be accommodated in that small place either. LOL One of the former Israeli defense personnel spoke on BBC ..I agree with his logic. Netanyahu is blocking food. In the process, ordinary people end up paying money to Hamas for food, making Hamas richer, and therefore, able to recruit more people.... Effectively, Netanyahu has compounded the problem for himself.

And no one is going to win win the first bomb falls. The whole world will pay in loss of lives and loss of land that nothing can be planted on for lot of years.

Not really. I just came across a podcast on how easy it has become to carry and deliver the nuclear bomb, and how only one person can change the destiny of everybody.
