We’re gonna acquiesce to Hamas’ takeover of the Gaza Strip.
Do we have any choice in the matter - short of an invasion?
Yes, we have a choice - we can green-light Israel to clean house.
I still am so amazed that the Muzzies/Arabs picked TWO fights with Israel, got their tails handed to them on both occasions, and yet still are crying and complaining that they want “their” land back that they lost in both fights.
Land, which in my Biblical point of view should be Israel’s anyway....but that is a whole different debate.
Just one bone to throw into this subject... What if Israel of Old Testament days, had 100% complied with God’s word - ie - killed 100% of those Israel conquered? There would be no Palestinians in the world today.
Lesson to be learned - if God tells you to do something, and you don’t follow through, it can come back and bite you in the butt...even thousands of years later.

I feel a serious reluctance to have American troops intervening in a Palestinian civil was to defend Yassr Arafat’s bloody party. Even against somebody worse.
Depends on what acquiesence means. If it means some form of recognition, yes, we have a choice not to acquiesce. If it means just doing nothing either way, yes we have a choice to loudly oppose it on the diplomatic scene and to support Israel in waging the war that has been going on these last 60+ years. There can be support for cutting off all aid from reaching Gaza and supporting Israel in cutting off water and electricity which they supply, in order to pressure Hamas to surrender.
Oh, I dunno...
Greenlighting an Israeli force dedicated to the expulsion of all Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip, Judea, and Samaria would be a good start.
