The endgame was miticulously designed by Hamas....They know fully well the answer to their actions and planned well to inflict as much damage as they can...they wouldn't want citizens of Gaza to evacuate as that's part of their "protection"... Israel knows fully well without cutting electricity and water, residents will not leave and will continue to be the shields for Hamas...Hey xmontrealer. I don't give out personal info on this board.
I understand why the state of Israel was created but think it was faulty logic. The Holocaust is perhaps the most horrific crime against humanity ever, along with the indigenous genocide in North America. The mandate of Palestine had a history of peaceful multicultural coexistence, as did quite a few of the surrounding countries, there was a great read I about an 'Arab Jew', someone who's family was part of the Iraqi Jewish community. I agree that the Jewish people needed protection after WWII but building ethno states out of multicultural states wasn't the way to do it.
If you're Jewish, you should also understand that Toronto has a long history of left wing Jews, from the Christie Pits riot to this day at places like Camp Navelt. I'm friends with that community as I'm also friends with Palestinians and some other Arab communities. Toronto works in a way few places does as a multicultural city. That community does not support zionism and are trying to find a way forward to peace. And not through trying to drive either people into the sea or by using military force to subjugate the other side. That's why I argue for deescalation and the end of apartheid.
But if you support Israel's actions, can you say where you think its going and how you think peace can be achieved?
Non of the Israeli supporters here can.
What is the endgame?
Do you support Hamas actions? You know fully well what endgame they want...
