(24,440 posts)17 years under Hamas has been horrible for Gazans in every way, it's brutal Sharia law with honor killings, torture, and corruption. But it's also been 17 years of non stop Anti Israel propaganda that has jaded a generation of Gazans even worse. Things have gotten worse and worse under Hamas, but Hamas has gotten the people to go along with blaming Israel for all of it. And that's not to say Israel is blameless, they've made mistakes too, but Hamas is just short of ISIS and there is not dealing with them.
I agree with the Israeli mission of eliminating Hamas, it's the only way to have a chance at a lasting peace.
Bibi really screwed the pooch on this at every tunr, from being an unreasonable harliner, to turning around and giving Hamas credibility, it seems he was pushing towards something like this. I think he'll be gone within a year.
