This question could have been interesting, so it's a shame to resolve N/A.

However, with an inactive and uninvolved creator, I don't see many other options. I think the key questions are:

  • seen by whom?

  • as of when?

It could have resolved based on a Manifold poll, some other polling source, and so on. I could run a poll on Manifold now, but a month and a half after market close the situation has changed substantially and I'm not sure it makes sense to treat "now" as the correct time to run the poll.

I think anything other than N/A, at this point, will create more problems than it solves. In the future, if you find questions like this, let's try to get the creator and/or mod team involves quickly so we can avoid this situation.

Thanks for your understanding, and I'm sorry to have a disappointing resolution.

@adamginton Seen by whom? At what time?

Should this resolve now? If so, which way and why? If not, should the close date be extended? Should it resolve N/A if you don't have a clear answer?

@adamginton How does this resolve? Should it be closed already, and if so can it resolve now?

predictedYES

so how does this resolve?

Really depends on who you're talking about. But given the lack of that information, 11% seemed wayyy too low.

No, cutting off water and electricity to Gaza cannot be considered a justified response in fighting Hamas. Firstly, such actions directly impact innocent civilians who are not affiliated with the militant group, violating their basic human rights. The denial of essential services exacerbates an already dire humanitarian situation, creating long-term health risks and infrastructural vulnerabilities. Moreover, this approach often leads to further radicalization and animosity among the affected population, potentially fueling support for extremist ideologies. Pursuing non-violent strategies to combat Hamas, such as diplomatic efforts, promoting peace-building initiatives, and fostering dialogue with moderate factions, would be more conducive to long-term stability. Protecting civilian lives and upholding humanitarian principles must remain paramount in any conflict resolution strategy.
