Well, then, certainly imo, we’re in a war without end.


Hamas command and control of Gaza may be something Israel can eliminate, but that’s far from certain, even if they do their worst from here on out. Eliminating them altogether - even Israel no longer claims that. They claim they can destroy their capacity to govern. But the lack of any plan afterwards means little can be expected to change. Whatever comes into a vacuum will be Hamas or worse, whatever they call themselves.

But I don’t fully disagree with you. Israel had no choice but to respond, and Hamas engineered the slaughter (in Israel and then Gaza) more than anyone. I do disagree that opposition to Israel’s current path is reckless. I think it’s necessary. If this thread highlights anything, it’s the need across the political spectrum for tolerance of different points of view in complex matters.
