Haviv Rettig Gur is arguably the smartest, most insightful commentator on the Israeli-Palestinian situation. He gets my highest reco for the single most insightful commentary.

The above is fairly depressing, which is not his normal mode. He's far more critical of the Israeli government, specifically the management of war in terms of a failure to enter the information war than I'm comfortable with. But the notion that Hamas will sacrifice any number of Gazan civilians to achieve its aims is daunting. I don't know how it should be overcome.

Didn’t have time to watch but with every dirty marxist Euroweenie taking Hamas’ side and announcing they will reward them with what they want, they will win.

The United States military intervention would now, thanks to Hamas’ savagery of starving their people, be justified as a rescue operation and no one could truthfully deny it.

They already won by turning the world against Israel and the Jews. It has always been a suicidal movement. They would kill any or all of their children just to kill one Israeli Jew.

What does “winning” mean in this context?

If Hamas isn’t completely destroyed does that mean Hamas wins?

If Gaza isn’t completely levelled does that mean Hamas wins?

If Israel has to destroy everything and kill everything to win, what are the consequences of that?

Hamas is no different than any other terrorist organization or leftist government.

The hoi polloi are just tools for those power grabbers to use to advance themselves to provide food, services, and money for their ends. And they’re completely expendable.

Too bad the average muslim hasn’t figured that out yet.

Trump has given indication that the time of giving hamas a chance is past and action will be taken soon.

Hamas needs to be bulldozed along with all of Gaza.
