| Mr Carter The first thing I notice in this response is that you do not say what you think Hamas should do. Nothing about them stopping their threats to annihilate Israel. All you claim is that it does not have the means to carry it out. At the moment that is. 'Admittedly, the 7th October massacre was a very serious assault but it resulted less from Hamas’ military strength than unforgivable lapses in intelligence and a disgraceful lack of border security (not, please note, that I am most definitely not blaming Israel in any way for the attack).' By 'very serious assault' do you mean invasion followed by murder, rape and abduction of civilians ?? And like your fellow anti-Israel poster Ms Holliday you DO, however you might try to hide the fact, indulge in victim shaming. In fact the only time you get close to expressing indignation is when you use the term 'disgraceful' regarding Israel not being aware of the likelihood of its being attacked ! I am sure Israel is not attacking Hamas on the basis of its racist and genocidal Charter, but on the fact that it wants its hostage held citizens back; and the corpses of those taken and murdered; and to destroy its military infrastructure so it won't be attacked again. If Hamas is no threat why is it so well armed ? And if it really wants peace why does it not comply with the above and declare an end to its anti-Israel hostility and negotiate ? It won't of course because fighting, killing, and Jew threatening are its raison d'etres. As I have said before, the bully boys in balaclavas would I am sure find building a thriving Gaza as part of a Palestine state alongside the West Bank somewhat tedious. What do you think Israel should ask of Hamas in any negotiation; would Hamas agree and what do you think Hamas want ? 'There will also be complaints and threats from the extremists in Israel’s coalition like Ben Gvir and that nasty little fascist Smotrich, but seriously, what is the alternative to talking'? Agreed, no alternative to talking but is a terrorist organisation to be trusted and what is in it for them ? Funny you you don't call Hamas fascist or its leaders (what's left of them). The only one worthy of your epithet is a Jew who probably has personal experience of fascism and has a right to express his anger and fear. More so than the faux progressives of West Putney. Still, thanks for being the first of you ilk to respond to my requests for direct answers to my questions on this issue. I assume you also speak on behalf of Ms Carter. |
