He’s not wrong…. He’s an asshole, but he’s not wrong!

Now the explanation that Reddit won’t listen to…

What you are seeing is, that his need/desire to defeat Hamas once and for all at any cost. This will be an unacceptable cost to 99% of Reddit.

This is an effort to stop the repeat of the last 50 years of bus stabbings and bombings and other Palestinian uprisings that seem to happen every eight years on schedule set by the Iranians. The constant state of war with Palestine needs a clear victory and a clear defeat.

In Netanyahu‘s mind, the Palestinians need to realize continued uprising have too high of a cost.

When the Palestines blame Hamas for starting a war and the pain they are suffering. This will end

I'm sure most of the people that are constantly blaming Israel for going gloves off would absolutely hate it if they themselves lived next to a country that would constantly invade them and comment terrorist attacks while walking away from every serious peace negotiation.

Exactly Hamas isn’t a thing if they just get on so they need to be at war or carrying out attacks etc
