1) Israel is a free democracy. Gaza and the WB are authoritarian. 2) Hamas’s political platform is founded on violence and genocide. Israel’s on equality for all. 3) as an open society Israel has the political and moral equipment to change course when they do bad. Gaza has none of that political and moral equipment. 4) the targets for the IDF are military with collateral damage. The intent is to finish the war as quickly as possible. The targets for Hamas are civilian with the intent to cause as much destruction and death as possible. 5) the object of war is to defeat the enemy. The objective sign of defeat is surrender. The object of the war for Palestine is the annihilation of Jews.
The Palestinians should surrender and embrace life. They should realize that the ambition to achieve an independent and flourishing state has been stalled entirely by them… by their greedy, oligarchic leaders made rich and fat off of conflict and international aid.
