The failed ‘ceasefire’ (in which the fire never actually ceased) was premised on Hamas disarming. As anyone with any common sense warned, Hamas would not disarm. And no one would force it to disarm. That hasn’t stopped Steven Witkoff from pushing on with imaginary plans based on fantasies about how Hamas really wants peace despite decades of evidence otherwise.
Unmoved by those concerns, US special envoy Steve Witkoff announced on Wednesday the “launch of phase two,” where the goal will be “moving from ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance and reconstruction.
“We’ve talked to a number of Hamas people, and we’re hearing throughout the Arab world that people don’t want to be at war anymore. They want peace. They want a better economic future for their families. They want credible homes,” said a second US official on the briefing. “They want what everybody else in this world wants — just a good life, and a good life doesn’t occur through military means.”
So we’ve learned nothing from 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Arab Spring, Oct 7 and every previous time we’ve tried to do this. In fact we’re doing the same damn things all over again in Syria and Gaza, convincing ourselves that Islamic terrorists don’t really want to follow the teachings of their religion and the cause they’ve dedicated their lives to, but just want “what everybody else in this world wants — just a good life.”
It’s incredible. We could be listening to the Bush administration going through this same song and dance all over again.
But this seems par for the course with putting a Qatari-adjacent real estate guy in charge of a series of failed ‘peace’ in name only initiatives who is either a useful idiot for the terrorists… or just an idiot.
“Hamas has always indicated that they would disarm. They’ve said so — they said it to us directly during that famous meeting that Jared had with them,” Witkoff recalled, speaking to the America Business Forum conference in Miami.
“I hope that they keep their word because if they do, they’ll understand that the development plan that we have for Gaza is really terrific — a lot better than anyone has ever discussed before,” he continued, adding that it will include a “tremendous jobs program.”
Hamas has said repeatedly that it’s not disarming except if its terrorists get to front a terrorist state.
But just wait until they learn about Witkoff’s “tremendous jobs program.” Because surely what Hamas really wants is “a good life”.
How many bodies will it take, how many nations destroyed, until we’re done with the Bush’s, the McCain’s, the Witkoffs and their promises that what the Jihadists really want is a good life rather than what they keep telling us they want?

I remember that they destroyed a lot of infrastructure because it had been built by Jews.
Greenhouses etc.
Define “peace.”
EX-actly...
It’s the same lie Hamas and other muzzies have been telling for decades.
What they want is time to regroup and rearm.
Hamas wants peace.
……………………….
Define “peace.”
**************************************
When the word “peace” comes from a Muslim mouth it’s called Taqqiyyah.
Repeatedly, Hamas has not and never has wanted peace. Their one and only goal is to destroy Israel. Good grief, they’re funded by the UN and various islamic nations who want the same thing as Hamas. Why else would this nations fund worldwide terrorism?
Maybe they meant ‘Piece’, as in a Piece of what remains after the warring with Israel was finally stopped.
Hamass wants Jihad and a clear area between the River and the Sea.
Witkoff’s comments on Hamas show the same delusions as his comments on Ukraine. I wonder how long it will take for Trump to notice the difference between what Witkoff is saying and reality.
Another one of Witkoff’s “achievements”.
How about 700 years?
Probably so. History shows that if they’re beaten back hard enough they’ll take a couple hundred years to regroup. They’re patient, they waited until Western civilization got good and soft.
They always regroup, relentlessly. Evil is relentless, because the author of their religion, (Satan) is relentless. We shouldn’t be surprised if they are too.
