For the last 7 months, it’s been nonstop “Israel needs to destroy Hamas”, “Go into x and finish them”, “End Hamas!”
Putting aside the genocidal implications, the only response I can formulate to this is “And then what?” The whole world just watched you bomb civillians for half a year and then celebrate it. This isn’t going to end with one group being stamped out. What happens when the next Hamas pops up? And then the one after that? Then the one after that? Are they just buying time until they can properly declare war on Lebanon or something?
Hamas bad
Hmm, concede all land to Israel, get ethnically cleansed anyway and see THOUSANDS of your brothers and sisters still held hostage captured by Israel. No, it must be Hamas bad.
Hamas has long ago offered the hostages in exchange for Palestinian hostages and Israel pretends to not understand the offer.
Isntrael is manifest destiny 2.0 but without the advantage of a disease like small pox that mostly harms the natives. The difference is that everyone has seen what they are and this time, the ethnofascist colony is going to be destroyed. That’s when this ends.
I might be reading your title wrong so please forgive me if I do, but isn’t Rafah being invaded right now? I’ve seen TikTok’s and even tweets about how the borders are closed and tanks have rolled in.
The point being made, as i understand it, is that anyone who believes things along the lines of “just one more operation and it’s over” is either clueless or deluding themselves. Even if they wipe all of Gaza off the map that will not end the resistance, it will just make it grow even bigger even faster.
I thought the same thing, Hamas can never be defeated because even if every current member was eliminated a new one will emerge as they see their family murdered in front of them. The fact that people don’t realize this is incredibly frustrating. Some genuinely believe that Israel is sincere when they say their only goal is to eliminate Hamas and everything will be fine after that, how are people so easy to dupe?
They mean what happens after.
Fascism needs an existential threat and people aren’t gonna just let this slide so even of they do “destroy Hamas” then what?
