File under: Hamas

#1 Prediction: A year from now Gaza residents will be living in abject squalor courtesy of Hamas. Most of Lebanon south of the Litani River will be leveled and the area will be a wasteland. The UN will be calling for reparations and funds for rebuilding Gaza, but response will be muted. President Trump will employ a hand's-off policy with respect to Israel.

#3 But Gaza will be safer for gays, as there will be no tall buildings for them to be thrown off of.

#4 Evangelical Christians should be allowed to settle the vacated areas of Gaza as a buffer between the remaining Gazans and the Israeli border.

#5 Wow, didn't expect that. You mean the IDF is deliberately leveling every occupied structure in Gaza and it's going to cause mass human misery?

Usually people deny this because it makes people view Israel negatively. It's way too close to ethnic cleansing.

#6 "Cleansing." Well. It seems the consensus outside muzzworld is that the mess as it was could no longer be tolerated.

#7 ^ Ethnic cleansing? No, actually it's much closer to the cleansing of criminals and terrorists.

#10 leveling every occupied structure in Gaza

Only the ones used by Hamas: like Schools, Mosques, Hospitals, UNRWA sites, Apartments, Businesses,. ...oh, wait! You're right. Perhaps Hamas and Gazooks shouldn't have done/allowed that?

#11 Lets not forget that Hamas is Gaza's elected government. They are at least as complicit as the German people in WWII, and probably more.

#12 the IDF is deliberately leveling every occupied structure in Gaza and it's going to cause mass human misery?

Permit me to retort. It is not every occupied structure in Gaza, only the ones that have been subverted by Hamas and used to wage war on their neighbors. Note that the criterion is not "occupied structure", but "used by Hamas". Definitely right about the mass human misery, though.

The problem is what to do about the existential threat Hamas poses to their neighbors, the Israelis. Words on paper and appeals to the angels of their better nature have not worked.

It is like having termites in your house. In the beginning, a quick spritz of bug spray solves the problem. Do nothing and later on when you have a full-blown infestation, the only fix is to evacuate all the people and fumigate the place.

Lots of people are whinging about the over-abundance of human misery, but no one has a better solution than what the IDF is doing now. I wish it were otherwise, but it is not.
