This is the question I am asking, remove Hamas and replace with what,
@zleap @malwaretech I’d be good with an international peacekeeping force, but considering that one side seems to only accept the total destruction of the other, good luck wading into the middle of that.
Good point, so if Hamas is removed and after which peacekeepers move in along with aid agencies, surely most people on both sides want peace and may find a way to better co-exist.
@phenidone @malwaretech @zleap
I don’t agree with you, and if unfortunately you are right, it didn’t used to be this way. Witness the Oslo Accords. Israel offered up almost everything the PLO stated it wanted and received the intifada. Israel gave back Gaza with nothing in return, and only returned when they had to in order to defend itself from attacks from Gaza.
Lastly, consider that Israel has not landlocked Gaza. They share a border with Egypt who won’t let them in either. Jordan wanted to give them a home until they tried to overthrow Jordan (see Black September).
@Blueteamsherpa @malwaretech @zleap that presumes Gaza and West Bank are natural boundaries of Palestine, though only a small portion of what it was before Israel's creation.
There is also a massive gap between Israel "defending itself" and dispossessing people by directly replacing them in their houses with colonists and ripping up crop and water infrastructure for settlements they haven't taken yet. I can see no way that Hamas dissipates while those actions continue.
@zleap @Blueteamsherpa @malwaretech lol they don't want to co-exist, they want to exterminate Palestine and colonize the land.
Israel has talked itself into seeing Arabs as subhuman in the same way the third Reich did with Jews.
