From NBC News, “As Israel pulled back in Gaza last week, Hamas stepped in, with violence marked by at least one public execution and clashes with rival factions as the militant group tried to reassert control amid the ceasefire in the war-torn territory.” Does this look like a group of terrorists willing to disarm? Look, f***tards, this is not rocket science; Israel had the right idea from the start: Raze Gaza and start anew. While the images coming out of Gaza over the last couple of years have been “concerning” — in a Senator Susan Collins manner of concerning — I think the overall motivations and goals of Israel have been spot on. I believe the elimination of the Hamas terrorist group is a noble one, and, unfortunately, because the group is so embedded in the broader civilian population, it is necessary to eradicate the weed that is Hamas, root and stem, which may include high civilian casualties. Oh, well. Look at how easily Hamas has come out of the woodwork, like cockroaches hiding under rocks, ready to reinfest the population the second Israel pulls back. Gazans have learned nothing. I don’t mean to be insensitive and heartless, but let’s face it: Gazans want to be governed by a terrorist group, but Israel and the rest of the world cannot abide a return to a Gazan state of rule pre-October 7, 2023. Yet, in a matter of days after the ceasefire, that is exactly where Gaza is. It’s as if they have returned to square one. Palestinians have learned nothing after two years of war. So, the ceasefire was clearly a mistake except for the return of the hostages, but now it is time for Israel to go back in and finish the job — for good this time. While Dictator Don is rarely right, as a broken clock is correct twice a day, a Riviera on the Mediterranean, sans Palestinians, may not be such a bad goal after all.
