“...eradicating Hamas is not achievable.”

Much like the necessary elimination of Islam to save Western Civ.....

Hamas, ISIS, and Hezbollah are like the mythological Hydra.

Cut off one head and two more take its place.

The Russians took a couple of years to destroy Gronzy but they were able to pacify the population in Chechnya.

But don’t let that stop him from trying.

It’s the goal that matters.

“Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people – whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong.”

This may be true, but that's for Israeli voters and the people they elected to decide. I don't see how it's the place of the military to question decisions made by the elected civilian leadership - their job is to try to execute those decisions, not second guess them publicly.

Netanyahu did not state that his goal is to “eradicate Hamas”, but rather to distroy its military and governing capability.

And now the obvious truth comes out (not how you spin it):

Clearly DS has had years to infiltrate IDF.

It now all makes sense. All of it, including how 10/7 was permitted to occur.

Hagari is throwing sand. The phrase isn’t to be taken literally. Netanyahu wants to destroy Hamas’ fighting battalions and their weapons tunnels etc. He also hopes he can prevent them from being a political party and internal security force in the next government. He knows Hamas the ideology can only be defeated if the people adopt a better ideology. Hamas wasn’t always terrorist they used to just be a humanitarian organization 40 plus years ago. Now every political group has their own armed wings and every city may have their own ruling clans. Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, PFLP, etc all have armed wings. When they aren’t attacking Israel they are prone to attacking each other for turf, power and influence.

Seriously?

They have significantly degraded the existing Hamas.

They should be able to eliminate the current fighting force

That is what has to be done though, because it’s more than obvious, that Palestinians will never live in peace with them.

True, Hamas can’t be eliminated. Just like the Nazis couldn’t and can’t be eliminated. Evil will exist for eternity.

As noted at the end of the article, it is a reprint from antiwar.com. Here is the link:

https://news.antiwar.com/2024/06/19/idf-netanyahus-goal-of-eliminating-hamas-is-unachievable/

Funny, Antiwar.com hasn’t been cited as opposing ham ass starting the war.

When I kill look to kill fire ants in my yard, I rub a stick over their mound.

If they rush out, I blast them.

If they come out slow, I don’t spray the ant mound.

The same could have been said about Nazi Germany.

Or Imperial Japan.

A belief system centered on murder and conquest.

And while those beliefs may not have been completely eradicated, the vast majority of their adherents were. And whatever remained were without any power, professing said beliefs in secret.

One can’t eliminate crime, but one can take many criminals to the big house.

Spain’s Christian government eradicated Islamic terrorism in their country in 1492.

“This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear – it’s simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public,” he said. “Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people – whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong."

Imagine Nimitz saying the same thing about Japanese imperialism back in 1942 or 43. FDR would have had his head, and replaced him with an admiral who understood that there was only one objective, and that was to make sure the Japanese military was CRUSHED and ANNIHILATED.

Am Yisrael Chai!
