@Disha and the rest: Let me clarify. I seem to have given the wrong impression. I DO NOT doubt the barbarity of Hamas types. That should be obvious by now. What I do doubt is the veracity of the claim - who is putting it out other than IDF and Western press and establishment? Like they don't have an...

There are 14 American (maybe Israeli -Americans) hostages with Hamas. Cain Marko, Biden said he saw the images of the beheadings. Sir, there is still fog of war in this. US intel, political rhetoric and media have been "mistaken" in the past. Let us see. This is very reminiscent of that y...

Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

Coming back to topic - yes, Hamas needs to go. But this makes one wonder: 1. How will you make hamas disappear - billion dollar question? 2. Occupy a city of 2 million? for how long? Will that work? 3. More importantly, who is propping up Hamas (remember ISIS and Keeda also need to go, but ultimate...

I expect Israel will occupy Gaza till it is deHamased which might take a hundred years (three generations). The Hamas folks can go to Qatar or Turkey. Always think of Shiv's oil droplet model.

Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

Netanyahu/Israeli right-wing needs two factions to continue to exist among the Palestinians, with at least one of them dedicated to destroying Israel, so that he doesn't have to negotiate with either.
