This was always the goal of zionism.Hamas are clownish characters and I am wondering if they are there for show to be honest. Just to play their part in this macabre drama. After all they took funding from Israel and really are just not ruthless enough for me to convince me they believe in their cause.
It was never about Hamas, but without Hamas then Netanyahu is just killing civilians. Which of course is what he's really doing anyways, but without Hamas he's a just a nazi.
Which is why he won't let Hamas step down as any part of an agreement.
