'Hamas can't be eliminated', says IDF spokesman suggesting to provide alternative
[GEO.TV] Israel's top army spokesman said Wednesday that Hamas cannot be eliminated, prompting a knee-jerk reaction from the government which quickly reiterated it remains committed to the Palestinian fighter group's destruction.

After more than eight months of Israeli war, the occupational forces have failed to oust the the local freedom fighters from Gaza, however, they have brought widespread devastation.

"To say that we are going to make Hamas disappear is to throw sand in people's eyes. If we don't provide an alternative, in the end, we will have Hamas," Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told Israel's Channel 13 broadcaster.

"Hamas is an ideology, we cannot eliminate an ideology."

#1 Yea, we'll have to eliminate the idea of "Palestinian People", maybe the idea of Islam.

#2 Sure they can. American arms manufacturers can turn out bombs at breakneck speed, all that's lacking are for Congress to vote funds to make them and transport shiploads of them to Israel. Make the rubble bounce.

#3 Hagari needs to peel potatoes for a couple of years, to encourage the others.

#5 There were still a few original Nazis around after '45 but they weren't in a position to make as much trouble as before.

#6 You may not be able to eliminate an idea, but you can eliminate all the people in a particular geographic area who believe in it. The problem is not just the virulence of the ideology but the proximity of its True Believers and their ability to make mischief.

#7 We have a similar problem here, but it isn't geographic, it's institutional. Until the petri dish that harbors the modern left in America is sterilized, a vile and human hating ideology will plague us.

Or, force us to move elsewhere.

#9 ^ If Europe gets serious about de-colonizing itself, it could start seeking immigrants of European descent.

Nah. That won't happen.

#11 "We cannot eliminate an ideology."

Not with that attitude.
You can, it just takes effort and a body count.
After Caesar returned from the Gallic Wars, Eburones were erased from history.
Caesar knew the way.

#12 #8 Even if we could at that point, they won't allow it.

#13 Line up bulldozers and push all of the building in Gaza, including their inhabitants, into the sea. Flood the tunnels you find with pure nitrogen and seal them off with concreate.
