"Hamas" is to the Israeli government what "Woke" is to MAGA : A propsgandist's shorthand to disqualify anything they don't like. In the case of zionists, all Palestinians are Hamas, bc they hate this people as a whole. And the rest of the world is just waiting until it's too late to recognize this.
Hamas is a self-declared genocidal government that is sworn to Israel’s destruction. Hamas’ acts are so abhorrent that Egypt cooperates with Israel in the blockade. Woke is a response to blatant racism and violence on innocents. Israel is going too far, but Hamas and woke are not analogs.
Hamas is a convenient excuse for Netanyahu to continue the genocide of Palestinians so Israel can take their land and he can remain out of jail. Most of the Palestinians alive today have never had a chance to vote for anybody. Blaming them for Hamas’s crimes is grotesque and evil.
Valid points. Hamas had 74% approval in Gaza in late 2023. They aren’t to blame; they may be collectively complicit. Hamas is also more than an excuse. 14,000 rockets at Israeli civilians. Hamas killing Gazans to steal aid. Sinwar and others funneling money to Swiss accounts. Bibi is going far too
far. But he isn’t wrong that after 20 years Egypt and Israel cannot have even detente while Hamas and Hezbollah remain. The question that is never answered is what to do. What would you do? You become PM. Everything as it is today. What do you do?
The first thing is to flood Gaza with food, medicine and supplies. That’s the only way to stop armed people from stealing it. Invite Arab states to come in and begin rebuilding and to be peacekeepers. Ask them to organize a new government Boot out the last decade of illegal settlements. 1/2
Pull IDF out of Gaza once Arab peacekeepers arrive. Use IDF and drones to keep border secure. Start discussing borders and security of 2-state solution as soon as there’s anybody to discuss it with. 2/2
No Israeli settlements in Gaza since 2005. Hamas has repeatedly rejected a two state solution, and given Abbas and the PA in the WB, we really need to think three state. Bibi and Conald are wrong now. But Egypt, the logical lead as peacekeeper, has positioned 40,000 troops to keep Gazans in.
Not settlements in Gaza. The other settlements in the WB. Abbas is useless. Dunno quite what to do about him. Egypt doesn’t want the Gazans driven into Egypt by Israel. That doesn’t mean they or somebody else couldn’t/wouldn’t send peacekeepers & builders into Gaza. 1/2
Anyway, the most important step is to stop the genocide immediately and send in lots of food, medicine, and survival gear. Also, I’m going to bed now. Thanks for the discussion. Peace!
Goodnight. For morning. Hamas and Gaza are not agents of the WB, nor the government. Using WB situations as justification for 14,000 rockets or slaughtering concert goers is not legitimate. The WB settlement policy is interesting because of the UN zones, the PLO’s rejections of peace and what
I’m not an expert on the Middle East - but isn’t it true that Netanyahu participated in the funding of Hamas? Didn’t Netanyahu ignore warnings days before the attack? Didn’t Netanyahu wait 8 hours before calling out the IDF to go after the terrorists? Seems like *he’s* the real threat to Israel.
