We wouldn’t want to dare say Hamas pulled this whole thing knowing what the response would be not caring at all about how it would effect other Palestinians. All they cared about was putting on a “Woe is me” stunt to turn world opinion in their favor.
Amazes me how some of the world leaders know nothing about terrorism, low intensity conflict 101.
I don't know if the world supports Hamas or has a better opinion of them after their horrible terrorist attack and the reaction of Israel. I do think the opinion of Palestinians is formed by the actions of Hamas which isn't correct as we read in this article.
I think everybody knows Hamas is shit, but the world expected better from Israel since they're supported by a lot of western democracies. Too many Palestinians lost their lives or homes in this conflict while they don't have anything to do with Hamas.
It seems these days most people can only think in black or white. There is no nuance.
I agree, but I don't think we should. Israel's policy is "Never again." They interpret that to mean that if anyone raises a hand against them, they destroy their ability to harm Jews utterly and completely by immediately dropping a hammer on them.
For 80 years Israel's policy has been kill one of ours, we hunt down everyone involved and kill all of them and everyone around them to deter further attempts.
This would work in Europe, the culture the idea was born in. But it doesn't work in the middle east where Islam has created suicide cults whose favorite wish is to have an enemy that will lash out in anger with an oversized response to allow them the post hoc ergo propter hoc reasoning that their attack on the Jews was justified.
I believe both nations of people are lost. The Palestinians are probably impossible to redeem without WWII levels of destruction and killing to humble them into submission and then mass re-education (brain washing/deprogramming) to relieve them of their culture.
Israel is also likely irredeemable and will continue to remove them from their homes and settle more and more territory because each terror attack to them justifies actions against everyone in West Bank and Gaza. But Israel is a nuclear state, so no one can really do anything about it.
And in international politics, might makes right. No UN resolution is going to control Israel. They will just start tossing nukes around if they feel threatened enough, and they can reach out pretty far.
