The end goal is security for the Israeli people.

This is nearly a certain white supremacist dogwhistle. Don't trust people who want to murder an entire people for the sake of "security" of other people. That's how ethnic cleanses and genocides are justified.

You connected two unrelated ideas.

Israel wants security for the people of Israel. Ideally, this is peace with their neighbors. Hamas has chosen war. Israel has no choice but the take action.

And this action must be extermination of the people of Palestine. If you're going to say it, say all of it. Stop dancing around what you're advocating.

Don’t put words in my mouth. I’m absolutely not saying that. Let me be clear: Palestinians should have a state and live peacefully as neighbors of Israel.

However, as of now, the Palestinian leadership is fracture and (in the case of Hamas) undeniably barbaric. The Palestinians need to choose better leaders and take themselves to freedom and peace they deserve.

When do they choose their leaders? They've not had an election in over a decade.

[-] blewit@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Agreed! Neither in the West Bank where Fatah rules, not in Gaza where Hamas rules, have they had elections in more than a decade.

The Palestinians should demand an election.
