It’s hard to believe but reported today that “Hundreds of masked Hamas fighters brandishing assault rifles paraded in Gaza City and the group’s top leader made his first public appearance on Saturday, in a defiant show of strength after the militants’ 11-day war with Israel.”
President Joe Biden chooses to ignore the Israeli Palestinian continuing battle that is really, from the Palestinian view point, the right for the Jewish state to exist.
Here are some facts.
Israel occupies a space barely larger that the state of New Jersey. Or if you are looking for another comparison consider Vancouver Island. At its inception in 1948 Arab nations opposed the creation of the country that was carved out of British Palestine (a protectorate created after World War One) that created Israel and Jordan. The Jewish state’s initial boundaries were only part of the protectorate. Despite its small size adjoining nations immediately attacked Israel on the day it declared itself a nation. Hamas purpose, as stated in its charter, is to destroy Israel. So the question is what would you do if someone said I want to kill you? Or to put it another way:
How should Israel respond to Hamas and Hezbollah when their objective is the destruction of their state?
