hackey lad Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 When all this started Netanyahu was telling Palestinians go South you will be safe there . Slowly but surely they have no where else to go now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current situation seems to be more about his desire to cling to power than any realistic long term strategy. That's exactly what he's been doing- his days were numbered until (conveniently) the 'Hamas attacks' happened. Most leaders have said he is the problem, standing in way of negotiations. He'll be finished sooner or later, then hopefully quickly be forgotten and suffer a dog's death like Ariel Sharon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he have the main hamas negotiator killed? That's one way to break down any negotiations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way to break down any negotiations It seems not for the first time; it should go without saying that I'm not supporting Hamas, and never have done. All the Times Israel Has Rejected Peace With Palestinians In the U.S., Hamas is considered anathema, for understandable reasons. Its original 1988 charter is explicitly antisemitic and calls for the obliteration of Israel. (A new Hamas charter was issued in 2017 and states that “Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion.”) However, there have long been clear signs that factions within Hamas were moderating and open to long-term agreements with Israel. In 1997, Khaled Mashal, then the top Hamas leader, offered a 30-year ceasefire to Israel. Israel did not respond — but did immediately try to assassinate Mashal in Jordan. In 2004, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, Hamas’s chief religious leader, called for a 10-year truce with Israel if it returned to its pre-1967 borders. Israel assassinated him two months later. There are many more examples of this, along with Israeli disinterest demonstrated in the most extreme ways possible. In 2012, according to an Israeli peace activist, the head of Hamas’s military wing had become convinced that Palestinians should negotiate a long-term truce with Israel. On the same day Ahmed Jabari, Hamas’s military chief, was reviewing a draft proposal for such a truce, Israel assassinated him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
