That line about Israel and Nazis is in English, Welsh and Scottish law. WeΒ define it as antisemitism. There were attempts to get some mitigation wording into the complete text as context is everything, but it was overruled. It boggles the mind.

TLDR; AI summary

The article argues that Israel's kinetic counterterrorism approach cannot be the only response to Hamas' assault. While it may buy Israel some time, it historically has been substituted for a broader political approach to Hamas. The Israeli government's "mowing the grass" approach, which involves weakening Hamas through bombings, has only made the group stronger in the long run.

The Israeli government has mostly left the foundations of Hamas rule alone, even propping them up, to maintain the status quo of a divided Palestinian leadership that foreclosed the possibility of a two-state solution. Periodic terrorist attacks and low-scale conflict was a price that Israel was willing to pay for a freer hand in the West Bank and normalized relations with Arab dictatorships. Palestinian suffering under Israel's blockade and periodic violence was, in this thinking, not really Israel's problem.

In summary, the article argues that Israel's approach to Hamas should focus on broader politics and move towards a two-state solution.

Sheesh ... !

this increasingly looks like a war criminal (Netanyahu) who wanted Israel to be attacked so he could retake Gaza, stay in power indefinitely, do the ethnic cleansing he's always wanted to do, end the two-state solution, aid Republicans, and be a war hero.
