This will be my last post tonight and I’ll pick it tomorrow if required.
I don’t think that you can draw any parallels between what Palestinians are going through now or have been through in the past and the Holocaust. They not at all comparable….at all.

The hypothetical that Hamas would destroy Israel is just that - a thought experiment. They lack the numbers and meaningful advanced technology to achieve that through warfare. What they would do otherwise is a red herring.

Well, we know they can’t do it now. But their mindset is of that. If they could they bloody well would. Israel is 100% surrounded…completely….by states that want to see them destroyed.

When terror groups fight back according to their limited technological capability and skill sets (essentially brutality) nobody can truly be surprised.

Well, call me old school. I can get along with brutality. But I was surprised when babies and toddlers were beheaded. There is nothing normal about that. Perhaps if Gengis Khan was behind the attacks I could understand.

Anyone who genuinely claims if bombs rained down on their towns or cities, killing friends and family members, men, women, children alike, that vengeance wouldn’t be the natural destination for at best a sizeable minority and at worst a majority is lying.

And there you have it.
Replace bombs raining down from Israel to executing children and babies by Hamas and you have the exact same point. Is Israeli vengeance the “natural destination”?
