Because after Hamas is removed nothing similar will take its place? The conditions that led to the rise of Hamas will have disappeared?

I'm on my phone right now I don't want to bother trying to cut and paste I can do that later. But guess what country is by far leader installing renewable energy? If you guessed any country but China, you would be wrong.

Producing more-reliable power doesn't have to mean more power lines and plants, at least according to one Vermont utility. Green Mountain Power, which serves about 270,000 customers, wants to install "television-size batteries" in homes and businesses in an effort to shore up its grid — especially after a spate of devastating flooding hit Vermont and caused outages over the summer. The utility says "flipping the model" with batteries will be cheaper than investing large sums in traditional upgrades and storm recovery, and it can help keep costs down for customers, too. https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/utilitys-plan-batteries-for-all-5514737/

Did NATO Promise Not To Enlarge? Gorbachev Says "No" https://www.brookings.edu/articles/did-nato-promise-not-to-enlarge-gorbachev-says-no/

I wasn't aware the Biden was President in 2020. Got a link for that? U.S. murder/homicide rate for 2020 was 6.42, a 28.78% increase from 2019. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/murder-homicide-rate

Where did I say they had no options? They could certainly choose to make themselves a lot more vulnerable. Morally speaking, they should. But tactically speaking, it's a terrible idea.

And your criterion for dubiousness apparently is whatever doesn't support what you believe.

It's something you apparently hadn't figured out? Unless of course you had and are now acknowledging it.

Where did I ever assert that Noncombatant lives are all that valuable to them?

Really? Looks to me like that would make it a lot easier for Israeli surveillance.

Which is why when vaccines became available, the death rate from covid in Republican voting areas became substantially higher than it was in Democratic leaning areas. If "feeling a lot better" means feeling nothing at all, then you have a point. Otherwise, not so much.

Sure. Given his reluctance to send the second arms shipment to Ukraine - he had to be threatened by Congress with a lawsuit to motivate him - clearly, Putin would have been too cowed to ever make such an attempt. Especially given this Trump Doesn't Rule Out Recognizing Russia's Annexation Of Crimea U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking two weeks before a planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has declined to rule out recognizing Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. Asked by reporters on Air Force One late on June 29 whether reports about him dropping Washington's longstanding opposition to the annexation were true, Trump said: "We're going to have to see." Trump gave a similar answer when asked whether he would consider lifting U.S. sanctions on Russia which were imposed over the annexation. https://www.rferl.org/a/trump-doesnt-rule-out-recognizing-russian-annexation-ukraine-crimean-peninsula/29328403.html

Them underground installations and facilities located in the uninhabited areas, such as they are, of Gaza? By the way have you googled a satellite view of Gaza? Those gray areas are the densely inhabited areas. Not a lot left over.

Thanks for the designation, self-appointed one. who claims that every civilized human being will now support an Israeli incursion into "Gaza unrestricted by any moral obligations." It is to laugh.

Here's a more complete poll. It doesn't support your claim either. https://archive.ph/XGyfO

Says the spokesperson for all civilized human beings.

In fact the Israelis observed Hamas training for those attacks. The just misconstrued what that training signified. And it also observes their rocket tests. Not a lot of hills and such with caves to take cover in. Unlike Hezbollah's situation.

You sure about that? "The poll showed support at an all-time low for the two-state solution: 20% among Israeli Jews aged 18-34 and around 30% for Palestinians in the same age group. The survey also found that, for the first time, support in Israel for a nondemocratic regime — unequal rights between Israelis and Palestinians — is stronger than that for a two-state solution. According to the poll, a majority on each side rejects the other‘s historical connection to the land and believes that violence is the only way to resolve the conflict." https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-02-13/two-state-solution-for-israel-palestine-hopes-dashed-alternatives

Do they cost so much more than ICE vehicles? China is the by far the world's leading producer of EVs. They have the most experience in mass production. They are managing to produce EVs at a fraction of the cost of those sold by European and American manufacturers. But the Western EV manufacturers are learning. There's a learning curve to manufacturing. The Chinese are just further along on it. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/evs-experience-curve-pete-o-connor

Can you suggest a locale both away from populated areas and secure from Israeli attack? With around 2 million Palestinians[12] on some 365 square kilometers, Gaza, if considered a top-level political unit, ranks as the 3rd most densely populated in the world.[13][14] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip

How did you like 2020 when the GDP fell off a cliff?

Yes America lays in smoking ruins as another 336000 jobs were added to the economy in September. The battered, ruined economy which has now experienced less than 4% unemployment's for the longest stretch of time since the last one ended in 1969, 54 years ago. It is to weep over.

Anti-semites would disagree with you.

But the person I was replying to made it a theological issue about the very nature of Islam.
