Israeli forces have taken control of much of northern Gaza—at least the parts that are above ground. Beneath the strip’s devastated urban landscape, Hamas still reigns.

TEL AVIV—Israeli forces have taken control of much of northern Gaza—at least the parts that are above ground. Beneath the strip’s devastated urban landscape, Hamas still reigns.

The war is entering a new phase, as the Israeli military takes its fight underground and into Gaza’s legendary subterranean tunnel network.

    By trading them in for Palestinian kids and women rotting away in Israeli jails.

    Also, reform the judiciary branch so Palestinians aren’t judged by 1 Israeli judge with a conviction rate of 98%. Maybe a council of three judges: Israeli, Palestinian and Christian. And throw an atheist in there too.

    Counteroffensive Israel fucked up that plan the minute they also went bloodlust and revenge massacre. It’s too late now with so many killed. You can expect a second Hamas with a different name to attack Israel within 15/20ish years max. Unless you change.

    Normally cooler heads should have prevailed but they’re stuck with Netanyahu.

    You should have enforced your borders, so nothing gets in. At the same time, you should have tightened and upped diplomatic relations with everyone else in the region instead of alienating and threatening them. Chances were, they would have helped you get the Hamas military wing labeled as terrorists in the region and made no place safe for them. No one wants to see dead civilians. (Granted this doesn’t count for Hezbollah).

    Negotiating a deal for the hostage exchanges and knowing Hamas, it would have taken months or years maybe, but most of them would have made it out alive. And this will give you the time you’ll need.

    Use your intelligence services to get every name and face of the Hamas that killed civilians.Once your list is complete, then you start hunting them down. Just like the Mossad did with ex-nazi’s. No matter how long it takes.

    Make a long-term plan to get the Palestinians not on your side really, but on their OWN side. Free from Israel AND Hamas. Give them a better life, let them prosper, live their lives, raise their kids and grow old. You don’t want them and they don’t want you, so a 2 state is the only solution. With each country having its own governance.

    Once people value their lives and families and have something to live for, they won’t be sucked into this rage, hate and hopelessness and join something that’ll be just another Hamas.

    Normal people don’t join terrorists/freedom fighter causes, desperate people do.
