jamenta, I agree. Scott Ritter thinks Israel won't exist within a decade. I hope he's right. It was illegal from the start and it's stolen land. Have you been there, and to the West Bank and Gaza? Unbelievable arrogance from the Israeli Jews and the opposite from the Palestinians who are warm and welcoming. Total contrast. Israel either forgets how the Lebanese beat them in 2006 or can't forget it and wants revenge. The IDF are terrorists. Hamas has a right to defend the Palestinians. When they realized the Israelis were going to finish their slow genocide, they thought, might as well stand and fight. That made the Israelis happy. They thought they had the perfect excuse for a more rapid genocide.

All absolutely spot on, especially the last bit … Oct 7th provided the perfect pretext for genocide.
