Here we are again in the depths of collective sorrow and mourning; and once again this draconian depravity plays out over and over again. What will it take to understand what we are dealing with? The clash of civilizations is in full display. The Palestinians are Hamas. Hamas are the Palestinians. These psychopaths will continue to murder the Jews, the Christians, the apostates and anyone who opposes their medieval ideology
Baby stranglers. Yes. That’s what happened to the Bibas babies. Kidnapped by non Hamas so called civilians. About a month later strangled by some barbarians bare hands. Then the corpses were pelted with rocks.
"...could easily be addressed given a modicum of mutual good will."
And therein lies the problem. You don't negotiate with terrorists, because terrorists never negotiate in good faith. You'd think that Israel and the rest of the civilized world would have figured that out by now.
The only way to end this is to reduce everything in Gaza that's more than ankle high to rubble, salt the ruins, and plow the ashes. Carthago delenda est.
I’ve heard a lot of calls for “de-Nazification” of Gazans, the same way Germans were disabused of Nazism by the occupying Allies (especially the Americans and British, not so much the Soviets, I assume).
But there is one huge difference: the cultures from which the Nazi party and Hamas emerged.
Germany was, at its heart, a Christian nation. Yes its population was antisemitic, and had been for centuries. So was much of Europe. But the commandment “Thou shalt not kill” — from Jesus via the Torah — was still ingrained. It’s why SS soldiers often had to rely on alcohol to calm themselves after massacres. It’s why the Final Solution was decided in secret. Maybe lots of Germans didn’t particularly like the Jews living among them, but they didn’t want to exterminate them. (Exceptions, of course.)
But Hamas is the opposite. Hamas killers filmed their atrocities on October 7. They bragged about them. One called his parents to brag about the number of Jews he had killed, and that they would be proud of him.
There is no “Thou shalt not kill.” There is only “kill the Jews” and after that the infidels.
It’s a complicated question. You’re correct up to a point regarding the Germans, though it’s not true that the Final Solution and other atrocities were kept secret. For example, every German soldier who served on the Eastern Front knew about, and many participated in, the war crimes perpetrated against the civilian population, Jews included.
Regarding the Palestinians, however, I agree with you.
Very evil people
They must be punished and destroyed.
“Malignancy” is better than “tumor.”

Hope he keeps the numbers up. Figure they multiply like rabbits.

It is in the advanced stages of malignancy. Only an intense session of Chemo-Radiation might cancel it and give the world some hope of remission.
I have written and erased several things. I can't seem to put them up because it doesn't convey my message.
I appreciate your writing. I don't think I agree with everything, but it makes me think, and that is what is important.
I mourn for the Bibas family, and I mourn for the Palestinians. One for the innocence stolen and the other for passing the point of no return.
Ultimately, it makes me think of Abraham asking for Sodom's salvation for a decreasing number of righteous people.
Baby stranglers. Yes. That’s what happened to the Bibas babies. Kidnapped by non Hamas so called civilians. About a month later strangled by some barbarians bare hands. Then the corpses were pelted with rocks.
Well, I’m done mourning for the Palestinians. As a people, as a society, they have blood on their hands. That’s a hard truth—but it’s the truth.
I get it. I've been sheltered and unaware.
Sorry Thomas we already know what that state would look like.
Im going to take a pretty good guess, and say something that runs inbetween the taliban, isis, hamas, hezbollah?
As if there is any good inbetween.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for reading.

How in the world can anyone “de-Nazify” that?

Perfectly said!
