    so, history has shown that the military stuff doesn’t really work

    Worked pretty damn well against Germany and Japan. The crux is that Hamas is no longer just random insurgents, they already are the government and they have wide support in the population.

    you have to do the “rebuilding” beforehand

    All of that just ends up supporting Hamas. They’ll have all the resources with none of the responsibilities. Just look what they have done in Gaza, they build huge tunnel networks, thousands of rockets and kept indoctrinating the next generation in schools and camps. You don’t stop that by throwing more resources at them. You have to completely disrupt their organisation and replace the hole they leave with something else.

      tell me you know nothing of Europe from 1800 to the 60s without telling me you don’t know anything.

      ironically, 400 years of war and destruction never stopped the french-german enmity, but I’m sure it will work in the Middle East!

      as for the second thing, Israel could stop supporting Hamas against the current Palestinian government, but then how will Netanyahu wage war against the brown people?
