Israel and West Bank Settlements

Israel's secular elite contemplates a silent departure. This article represents the thinking of well informed members of Israel's secular elite. This has been clear to me for some time as a likely outcome of Bibi's move to the fascist right. This is not the Arabs driving these elites out. There are too many places for freedom loving well educated secular Jews to move too for this not to be the case. These are the same type of people who left Germany and Italy before WW2, that moved to the US.

...it truly takes a smart person to comprehend the thought of war and bombs potentially killing you to move away. It IS the very reason they are in this fight, b/c of terrorist regimes, mostly Iran, fugging up the opportunity of peace.

Any chance we can get an answer, have not seen one yet? viewtopic.php?p=583425#p583425

Diss responded in the very next post.
But the right wing has eliminated this as a possibility.

Still the right answer.

No, I clicked through your link and diss was right there answering your question.

The empathy I feel towards the Palestinian people is they made a very poor choice. They believed Hamas had their best interest in mind when they voted them into power. Hamas is now a venereal disease that the Palestinian people have no cure for. If Hamas had one iota of decency and humanity they would have surrendered unconditionally and left Gaza never to return. Hamas turned Gaza into a fortress with a sophisticated tunnel system they ultimately chose to use to start a war with Israel on October 7. Every single Palestinian civilian killed in Hamas' war is directly their fault and theirs alone. If the brave Hamas warriors wanted a real shooting war with the IDF that would have been simple. Hamas should have come out of their rat holes and fought the IDF face to face like the brave warriors they claim to be. Hamas always understood they couldn't win a conventional war with the IDF. They then chose to hide like the gutless cowards they are in their rat holes under schools, hospitals and any other place where they could use the Palestinian people as human shields. The Hamas cowards underestimated the resolve of Bibi and the IDF. What happened in Gaza MD is what the real face of urban combat looks like when the rules of engagement are kicked to the curb. Guess what my man, it ain't pretty and people didn't like seeing it on the NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt at 6:30 every evening. That is a picture of what all out war looks like. Innocent people get caught in the middle and they die in drives.

It should be noted that the election you reference was in 2006 (18 years ago) and that there has not been another election since then.
So kind of hard to blame the populace for recently re-electing HAMAS. To be fair, they have not risen up against them either.

The Palestinian people elected them. The fact they can't get rid of them is a problem of their own making. They can't vote them out because Hamas won't let them. Is Israel to blame for that?
