” Occupied Gaza,”
There were almost 2 million Arab citizens in Israel before Oct. 7, but there were no Hebrew residents in the Gaza Strip. Gazans in 2006 voted in Hamas to act them. It immediately executed its Palestinian Authority competitors.
Hamas canceled all future scheduled votes. It created a dictator and used hundreds of billions of dollars in global aid to construct a massive underground tunnel of military installations.
Collateral Harm
Hamas deliberately targeted residents in order to start the Israel-Hamas conflict. When it invaded Israel during a period of peace and breaks on October 7, it massacred them. It sent more than 7, 000 missiles into Israeli settlements for the sole purpose of killing soldiers.
Hamas does n’t have a definition for the collateral harm of Israeli citizens because it thinks that any Jewish death should be celebrated in any way.
Hamas places its extremist facilities beneath and inside institutions, colleges, and temples. Why? Palestinian residents in Gaza are reportedly more hesitant to be hit directly by Israel than Hamas does to make them use as human shields.
‘Disproportionate’
We are informed that in Gaza, Israel improperly uses overwhelming force to fight. But it does so because no country can get a battle without using excessive force that hurts the enemy more than the enemy does.
The U.S. used overwhelming force to end a conflict that both Axis forces started by burning German and Japanese cities. The American army used skew force to expel Islamic attackers hiding among the innocents in Iraq, practically leveling Fallujah and Mosul.
Hamas objectes to excessive violence, but only when it is carried out by Israel and no Hamas.
‘ Two- State Solution ‘
Due to Oct. 7, there was a de facto three- state answer, given that Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza were all individual states ruled by their own governments, two of which were illegal without scheduled elections.
The “from valley to water” plan of destroying its neighbor was institutionalized by the people of Gaza and the West Bank rather than Israel.
Israel may have preferred to reside next to a self-governing Muslim Gaza and West Bank that had not attempted to devastate Israel in multigenerational efforts to create its own “one-state solution.”
‘Cease-Fire’
Israel is being urged to accept a “cease-fire” by the so-called worldwide community. However, a cease-fire existed now due to October 7. Hamas broke it by massacring 1, 200 Immigrants and taking over 250 victims.
Hamas stricken that accord because it believed it may influence Israel by killing Jews.
Hamas is now pressing for a new cease-fire because it believes it is no more able to murder more armed Immigrants. Rather, it presently fears that Israel will eliminate Hamas in the same manner that Hamas intended to destroy Israel.
Did Hamas demand a cease-fire after the massacre of its first 500 Immigrants on October 7?
‘Ramadan’
According to President Joe Biden, Israel must agree to a cease-fire in order for the Muslim spiritual holiday of Ramadan.
But did either Hamas or any other Egyptian government always value Jewish—or yet its own—religious vacations?
Israelis were aware of the massacre on October 7 as they observed Shabbat’s Jewish breaks Simchat Torah, Shemini Torah, and Shemini Atzeret.
Additionally, Hamas ‘ surprise attack was purposefully timed to commemorate an earlier, covert Muslim assault on Israel that occurred about 50 years earlier.
A shock attack occurred on the day of Yom Kippur, which was observed on October 6, 1973, on the Israelis. Arab armies even assumed that when attacking during their own spiritual vacation, Ramadan, they would gain more shock.
But Arab forces engage in opportunist combat during Jewish and Islamic holidays. The Ramadan War, which Egyptians and Syrians celebrated in 1973, is still a glorious memory of the shock attack on Israel.
Just Westerners, no Arabs, feel there should be no conflict during Ramadan.
Human Casualties:
Israel takes risks with the life of its troops to stop civilian casualties. Has put a risk on the life of its citizens to stop jihadists from killing them.
Israel considers it a loss, but Hamas considers it nationally effective, when more citizens die than its men.
‘ Foreign Aid ‘
Yet though Hamas started the war, the Biden administration threatens to stop or slow down aid to Israel if it continues to fight against it.
So the administration promises to aid Gaza more than it did before the Hamas ‘ attack, following the Hamas murders on October 7.
‘Prisoners’
The global group, which is in favor of Hamas, is aware that it would be safer to be an Israeli slave than Hamas.
It knows people are not going to be raped in prison by Israelis, but are by Hamas. Additionally, Hamas is more likely than Israelis to mutilate and decapitate the defenseless than they are.
Because the Hebrew state tries to prevent human deaths that Hamas finds helpful, is Israel more likely to be charged with war crimes than Hamas by the worldwide community?
