Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023
Anyhow the big question is how do they fix Hamas if: A. They don't really want to (see above) B. Even if they truly want to, how do they separate Hamas from 2 million Palestinians in Gaza? Is this even possible? There is no fixing Hamas. Either you obliterate it into the ground and lose your soul d...

Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023
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. The hard-core jihadis have to be excised if the moderate Muslims are to have a chance. That seems like the...

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. That will modulate Israeli actions in Gaza. This seems to be what Israeli liberals are saying as w...
