    If the cartels took complete control of Mexico, stopped all elections, and then stated their goal was to kill all Americans; do you think that we might start patrolling our border a little harder and deliver Mexico a bit of freedom?

    The current situation is an absolute disaster and a sad case for innocent civilians who couldn’t even vote out Hamas if they wanted to. But there is a reason that Israel is in the West Bank in the first place, there will never be peace in that region until Hamas is stripped of all power in Gaza. Israel is surrounded by religious extremists on all sides that would genocide them if given the chance.

      Let me improve your analogy.

      Imagine if the Mexicans say that Mexicans and Natives Americans are the same (even though Mexico has so much European blood and influence) and started claiming the United States and Canada as their holy land. Then every powerful European country agrees with Mexico. The Americans and Canadians will then complain to the UN and the UN will reply “why haven’t you just repartitioned your land better with the Mexicans?”
