'We will repeat October 7 again and again' - Hamas official

[Happy Hoosier]

57. OKay, let's address that....

Hamas' leadership is largely in foreign countries, like Qatar. And while Israel could probably assinate them in those countries, it would come with a high political cost and individual leaders can be replaced. ISIL and A-Queada played that game for years. It's like wack-a-mole.

Likewise with local military commanders. It's useful to kill them during an engagement, as it offers a short-loived tactical advantage, but if the basic militant infrastructure remains in tact, there is essentuially no chage to the conditions... just a new dude calling the shots.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

The mitigate thew threat, the actual militant infrastructure must be degraded. If the militant infrastructure is destroyed, it doesn;t matter who the boss is, they have nothing to use. It's like guns... sure criminal will always exist, but a criminal without a gun is far less dangerous than a crminal WITH a gun.

But that's what's so hard here. They have deliberately embedded their militant infrastructure in a densely populated area because they KNOW all of the above. They KNOW that as long as they can retain the militant infrastructure, who the boss is doesn't really matter. Crunch all you want, we'll make more.

Now what? I'm all ears.

I have no love for NutandYahoo, but I do notice your use of the term "Zionist" which I want to ask you about. To me, that term just means someone who advocattes for Israel to exist. What does it mean to you.

I am really trying to understand your point of view instead of just yelling at each other.
