And as long as we can characterize them all in monolithic fashion, we can justify just about anything, right?
It would be a lot of bother to sort them, and no one, including Egypt wants to do it. Walling them off is a short-term fix.
But the calls for an efficient final solution have already begun and the team you side with here is on board with that.
Wrong. Israel is responding to aggression, which has been there from the beginning despite its efforts to make peace with these people.
How does that turn into an analogy of the Nazi Final Solution? I don't understand.
Any Palestinian who wanted another life had every opportunity to seek one out in Israel. They not only chose to not do that, but chose to use work permits as a ruse for doing intel on the Israeli side of the border so they could go back and feed it to Hamas strategists.
Bibi's 4 corners delay game to prop up rival Palestinian factions was not an effort to make peace with "these people".
I'm calling bullshit on your final paragraph, which once again describes a monolithic inhabitant of Gaza with lockstep, uniform motivations.
So, you're saying Israel has not tried to make peace with Palestinian Arabs? I mean, what you said could also apply to the IDF soldier who fired the most recent bullet. That's not trying to make peace either. At some point, you go on the offensive.
You're calling bullshit on my last paragraph? All of it? Do you deny that Palestinian Arabs were allowed to work and, conditionally, live in Israel? Do you deny there is an Arab Muslim on Israel's high court? Do you deny that Israel was the source of water and power to Gaza? Do you deny that any Palestinian who wanted to live by the rules would have been more than welcomed to do so? Do you deny that Palestinian Arabs used the work permit system to get over the Israeli border to conduct intel for, or as, Hamas? What part are you calling bullshit?
And why must we always waste so much time with hyperbole? Nobody on this site is advocating for a final solution to the Palestinian Arabs. The comparisons with Hitler and the Third Reich are simply childish. Tell ya what, let's ask:
Tugs - do any of you support the systematic extermination of the Palestinian Arabs? That is, should Israel, or anyone, just fucking glass the entire region and not leave a living soul alive? Women, children, elderly, handicapped? Everyone? Just go SS on them? If you believe this, please raise your hand so I can make clear that we are not aligned.
Let's give that a few minutes. If we get the appropriate negative or silent responses, can we dispense with the "everyone who doesn't agree with me politically is Hitler" routine? It's annoying and very junior high.
Yes, I am aware that there are normal and peaceful people who live[d] in Gaza. I am also aware that a significant number of those who live[d] in Gaza supported a terrorist organization and think as you charged others here as thinking: that it's not only ok, but morally compelling to kill Jews and eliminate the state of Israel. Not just a few crazies. 3rd grade school teachers.
At some point, everybody pays for the sins of their government. The Gazans chose theirs, which was supported by an overwhelming majority. Hamas is everywhere there.
