I am not entirely certain this conflict helps Likud. I honestly think once the dust settles, they might get punished by the israeli public
I don't know man. Everyone in my family that is politically active dislikes Fatah, especially Abbas, but they LOATHE Hamas. There are palestinian circles that curse Hamas for bringing about a second Naqba. It's not as black and white as it appears.
It's just that Gaza is a special case. It's poor and miserable, hosting plenty fertile ground for extremist indoctrination. Have you ever tried arguing with someone from such a background about means of liberation and their justification? That's a mighty complicated discussion.
I just got an idea:
Papal intercontinental Cruisade Missiles.
It's not a good idea, mind you. Just AN idea.
It's a bit more complicated than that. Palestine doesn't have a strong democratic tradition to begin with. Additionally, Hamas is only governing Gaza, not the West Banks. Hamas also suppresses secular Freedom organizations. And ~50% of the people in Gaza wouldnt even be able to vote out Hamas since they are under 18. Then we have the case of Hamas indoctrination, which finds fertile soil in the impoverished and destitute Gaza youth.
All of that isn't to say I support Hamas. I am quite vocal in my disdain for them. But Israel plays a significant part in their success. So does Iran. And let's not forget that the religious right has been torpedoing a resolution aswell, not just the Jihadist organization Hamas. Rabin wasn't killed by a palestinian hardliner.
The attacks weren't perpetrated by a free Palestinian people or some recognized advocacy group, but by an extremist wing of the Muslim Brotherhood that has been pushed by Israel for decades.
It could. Not every ethnic cleansing has to be a Shoah for it to be bad
Wordplay with (to) strap on and strap-on which is a device (most commonly a dildo) attached to a person's (most commonly a woman's) groin to simulate penile stimulation for their partner
Additionally 50% of the Gaza strip wouldn't even be able to vote... You know, because they are under 18
Please look into how Netanyahu has tried (successfully) to conflate Hamas and palestinian liberation. He and his like have supported Hamas to undermine the PLO, a secular organization, simply because Hamas is a more convenient enemy to face.
Please don't fall for his propaganda and attempt to force all support for Palestine to go through Hamas.
Moderate/secular palestinians everywhere. My first reaction to Hamas' attacks was a comprehensive list of every ableist slur i know.
BUT: We'd do well to remember that Netanyahu and his coalition are the people that try to conflate Hamas with palestinian liberation. I hope it will cost them their power.
There is a word for that: Logorrhea
