"..."There is no way you can really know who is Hamas..." Sounds like Israel has their own little Vietnam problem now.
At this stage, the military cannot confirm or deny that they may have suffocated, been strangled, poisoned, or another cause indirectly related to an IDF attack or Hamas action, it said. Toxicology tests, which may shed light on their cause of death, have yet to be completed. Sherman’s mother, Dr. Maayan Sherman, a veterinarian, claimed that the results of the report suggested he was murdered by poison gas allegedly used by the IDF in the tunnels, accusing the government of knowingly putting the hostages at risk. “Not by Hamas, think more in the direction of Auschwitz and the showers but without Nazis and without Hamas. Not by accidental fire, not by friendly fire, but premeditated murder: bombs with poison gas,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “There is no future for this country if this is what they did to you after they abandoned you that Shabbat,” she wrote, referring to October 7. “What would have been the decision if it was Bibi’s [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s] son there in the terrorists’ tunnels, or the grandson of [Defense Minister Yoav] Gallant? Or the son of [IDF Chief of Staff] Herzi Halevi. Would they also have been poisoned by gas bombs?”
In a 1968 essay titled "The Territories", Leibowitz postulated a hellish future: Without an agreement imposed from the outside, our situation will deteriorate to that of a second Vietnam, to a war in constant escalation without the prospect of ultimate resolution. The Arabs would be the working people and the Jews the administrators, inspectors, officials, and police—mainly secret police. A state ruling a hostile population of 1.5 to 2 million foreigners would necessarily become a secret-police state, with all that this implies for education, free speech and democratic institutions. The corruption characteristic of every colonial regime would also prevail in the State of Israel. The administration would suppress Arab insurgency on the one hand and acquire Arab Quislings on the other. There is also good reason to fear that the Israel Defense Forces, which has been until now a people's army, would, as a result of being transformed into an army of occupation, degenerate, and its commanders, who will have become military governors, resemble their colleagues in other nations.[18]
Effectively "From the river to the sea Israel will be all that you see". Netanyahu vows no Palestinian state https://www.timesofisrael.com/netan...cks-israeli-media-denies-blindsiding-gallant/
Yup, the hypocrisy of Biden is mindblowing. Calling for peace in middle east, calling for restraint in the destruction of Gaza / Palestinians while fueling the war with huge bombs and missiles amongst civilians, a war which Netanyahu called. There is no reason for US to be involved with befriending a right wing shit stirring Israel govenment who encourages apartheid. Israel will claim they are victims, no they're not, Palestinans are reacting to Israel's unfair oppression which has gone on for years.
