Re: Hamas Israel War

Listen to the Gazans who are seeking a path away from Hamas...
...As this war progresses, the political and economic reconstruction of Gaza can’t be an afterthought for Israel; it’s a strategic necessity. Hamas laid a trap, betting that Israeli retaliation would entrench extremism all the more. If Israel treats all Gazans as enemies, it will fall into that trap and guarantee the ultimate failure of its mission. Fighting Hamas is a just war, but it must be accompanied by a clear plan, framed by the United States and friendly Arab countries working with a new generation of Palestinian leaders, to rebuild Gaza and invest in the West Bank. Otherwise, the war will create nothing but more rage in a barren land...
...The biggest mistake Israel could make in this conflict is not thinking carefully about “the day after.” That starts with governance. If Israel means to break Hamas’s control, what power will fill the vacuum? Israel doesn’t want to run Gaza, and its proxies will be rejected as collaborators. The best hope — the only hope, really — is that moderate Arab nations will work to create a new, post-Hamas structure that will represent a new Palestinian Authority that could govern the West Bank, as well...
..."How this war is prosecuted — and what’s left behind when it’s over — will shape the future,” says Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute who has lived in Gaza. He says that Israel, the United States and its Arab allies have to help the Palestinians find an “alternative political path.”
The worst days of this war are ahead. Talking about reconstruction might seem delusional when Israeli bombs are falling and their tanks are rolling forward. But if Israel’s leaders aren’t careful, they could once again win the war but lose the peace.

PS - do your own research, that’s a good chap.
