I’ll clarify the diary a little
1- I know that they have always known flattening Gaza won’t rid themselves of Hamas.
2- The conditions for an idea require the separation of the two warring factions, all that will happen if allowed to continue their ideas will become further entrenched and more violent.
The violence needs to stop.
I find the duplicity of their arguments, unhelpful at best.
Finally, Sheesh, but miss the point by a mile.
Netanyahu's Top Adviser Says 'Hamas Is an Idea' That Can't Be Defeated With Force, Gaza Needs Alternative — Haaretz.
Israel's national security head, Tzachi Hanegbi, told a security conference on Monday that Israel needs to present an alternative to Hamas rule in Gaza, 'not just destroy its military capabilities'. Last week, the IDF spokesperson said the same thing, which was quickly criticized by the prime minister
The head of Israel's National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, told the Herzliya Security Conference on Tuesday that "Hamas as an idea can't be eliminated," therefore Israel needs to present Palestinians with "an alternative idea and not just destroy its military capabilities."
That alternative, he said, could be "local leadership that is ready to live alongside Israel and not dedicate its existence to trying to kill Israelis."
Hagari made clear that the way to weaken the organization is to build up an alternative rule in Gaza, which is the job of Israel's political leadership.
In response, Netanyahu said that "the security cabinet defined one of the war's goals as the destruction of Hamas' military and governing capabilities" and that the Israeli army "is of course obligated to this."
*Bolding mine
The ignorance is mind-boggling.
If you want to fight an idea, you have to be able to propose a better one.
That idea has to come from within the Palestinian people not imposed by a perceived enemy of that people.
- Killing their women and children en masse is not the way.
- Administrative detention is not the way.
- Apartheid laws in the occupied territories are not the way.
- Stealing their land is not the way.
- This has been done for such a long time now.
Somehow believing that if you install a puppet government in Gaza it will all be good?
Fucking morons.
