| Mr Carter You say to Mr Rose "I don't want to get embroiled in a debate about whether Israel has a "right" to eliminate Hamas. Why not ? Should a country under a publicly declared existential threat, as is Israel from Hamas, not have any alternative than to do so and its government a responsibility to do so to protect its people ? Remember WWII and the German Nazis ? Answer 1) as few as possible which would be reduced even further if Hamas withdrew its threat against Israel, returned the October hostages and Israeli corpses it holds, and faced the reality that it will never win this war and so for the sake of 'its people' it should negotiate a peace settlement. But perhaps you think it has a right to fight on and has a chance of victory ? Answer 2) in a war for survival many extreme statements are made; as threats to the enemy or shows of bravado to boost the morale of its own people. I have no doubt this is one such. What Katz actually said was "Israel Katz told journalists on Monday he wanted to establish a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of the city of Rafah to initially house about 600,000 Palestinians - and eventually the whole 2.1 million population." Concentration camp is your term; an unfortunate but likely deliberate attempt at victim shaming on your part against a people who really do know what concentration camps are. Ant-semitism again. |
