What? They dug 450 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 miles wide. 5,000 shafts. Tunnels in all three cities extending under the highest density housing in the area, under colleges, under hospitals, and literally connecting them together so as to move terrorists and weapons around. Did they not realize the massive construction going on under their feet when they decided to not have elections any more and let actual terrorists be in charge?
What did they think would happen when they used those tunnels for decades to launch indiscriminate rocket attacks and suicide bombings before October 7, when they gathered up thousands of fighters and crossed the border to do a bunch of mass shootings of civilians and first responders? That’s not very neighborly.
Even once the bombs stop and every member of Hamas is dead or in prison, there is now no chance that it will be its own state. Unless Hamas surrendered and accepts their sentences under the law, it will be at least four or five years of martial law while Israel rebuilds the housing and infrastructure. And let me break the news to you now and you’ll be able to look back and remember this moment when you realize that not only will Israel do so with broad international support, nobody is going to miss Hamas. And that was my original point: it’s the decisions Hamas made that caused Gaza to become, at best, a failed state that does not and will not for the foreseeable future have the capacity to rebuild or govern. Irredentism is now literally the only option the international community will accept.
Ok but was the “they” the Palestinians or just some members of a terrorist group? Should we assume they are all the same as you do? Or should we look at reality?
