I'm going to be really charitable and assume you're just hopelessly naive. That's like saying that MAGAs chant "build the wall!" because they want to have a nice shade available for the picnics they'll have together with migrants who cross the border. Hamas's most recent actions of kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder made it politically impossible for Israeli policymakers not to try to destroy them. Hamas's leaders, safely living lives of luxury in Qatar, knew this and directed their operatives to hide themselves, their arms, and their bases among Palestinian civilians to ensure that those civilians would be killed as part of their PR war. There's no way to understand that and still argue in good faith that only the Israelis are to blame here. Since you're using quotes, that means you can point to where I used that word, right?
There is much practicality and truth in the post. What is causing me concern is the far-right political movement in Israel. I think this is a primary source of Israeli settlements being established illegally on Palestinian land and much of the other activities that have caused International condemnation of Israel. This movement is what Netanyahu is clinging to so that he can stay in power. They seem to have especially strong hatred of Palestinians and Moslems.
Far right is getting support because of the Palestinian terror. Just like right now in EU, right parties are getting larger support because of issues we discussed in other threads https://www.yahoo.com/news/multiple-casualties-reported-suspected-terror-163436440.html At least six people were killed, and several others injured in a shooting Tuesday night in Tel Aviv, Israel, according to a statement from the Israeli Police Spokesperson's Unit. Both of the two Palestinians shooters have been killed. Also: IDF stated that Hezbollah was ready to invade en masse after Oct. 7, we covertly raided 1,000 sites. The army reveals 3,000 terrorists were in position to storm Galilee; strikes drove them away; Israeli commandos then carried out 70 forays into Lebanon to seize weapons, raze sites and tunnels. Some 2,400 Radwan terrorists and another 500 Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists — trained by Radwan — had been waiting in southern Lebanon villages to attack Israel in the days after Palestinian terror group Hamas carried out its October 7, 2023. Iran fired 180 ballistic missiles at Israel. First wave. Israelis all over the country were in bomb shelters. Most of missiles intercepted, some fell in open areas. Israel will strike back.
This is a direct hit from one of the hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles launched at Israel today, which ended up landing in the Palestinian city of Jericho Unfortunatly there are reports of a Palestinian casualty. That's what happens when you spend billions on terror instead of air defense systems or bomb shelters.
That makes it sound like the Israelis would allow the Palestinian Authority to develop sophisticated defense capabilities in the West Bank, and that's certainly not so.
I hear you, just was to highlight that at the minimum bomb shelters. The point was they invest in terror and don'tdefending their people.
Hypocrisy of UN, and anti-Israel bias. Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced Wednesday that Antonio Guterres was barred from Israel, after the UN Secretary-General failed to directly condemn Tehran for the 181 ballistic missiles it launched at the country, which forced millions of Israelis to seek shelter Tuesday night. Declaring Guterres persona non grata, Katz accused the UN chief of kowtowing to “Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and now Iran — the mothership of global terror,” of failing to denounce the October 7 attacks and of neglecting to brand Hamas a terrorist organization. The move is sure to deepen the already wide rift between Israel and the UN. Germany, which summoned Iran’s envoy to condemn the attack, said Katz’s declaration was unhelpful.
On the 1 year anniversary of Oct 7th, massacre and the war: Former Minister of Defense, A Lieberman: Security is not achieved through diplomatic solutions: those who want peace will prepare for war Last updated: 7.10.2024 Less than a decade ago, I published a document that predicted the terrible day, and the officials canceled it with a wave of the hand. Although only a state commission of inquiry will draw real conclusions, it is critical to understand how to prevent the next disaster.

There is no such a thing as agreement with Terror Organization. By default, they would use it to their advantage and break it the time they feel serves the terror group needs.
