This could be a golden opportunity for peace in Gaza, the whole place needs to be weapons free with complete openness to all tunnels, terrorist infostructure, so the whole World can see, Joint Arab/Israeli policing, and a complete change of attitude from both sides, whether that's possible after the recent history of this conflict remains to be seen. The change of attitude needs to be from Hamas to release the hostages, then things start to move, not until. 1 1

No, I am saying given that they have been there for 3k years, and that the middle east is over 98% muslim they have a right to exist in their homeland that even the Quran says Allah gave them, without being attacked for 75 years by hating muslims. 1

The same Israel that then went on the rampage and stole Arab lands and ejected them from their homeland. And they continue to do so in the West Bank. All wrong. Detention Saturday. 1 2
Nick Carter icp Posted March 28 Posted March 28 4 minutes ago, nauseus said: Perhaps but I am starting to think this might be another Hamas red herring. There are numerous different Palestinians gangs/clans in Gaza and Hamas are the dominate clan . Other gangs may see Hamas weakened and they want to topple Hamas and take over . That doesn't mean that the other clans do not detest and hate Israel just as much as Hamas didn't . There is no Gazian clan that accepts Israel's right to exist 1

He probably the one inciting it. The enemy is Israel not fellow Gazans. They should be careful what they wish for, as do they think the IDF will pack up it's bombs and open the blockade if they get rid of Hamas? Fools to think that. The enemy is Israel only because they've been brainwashed to think so. Agree that Netanyahu must be delighted with this development; while I can't stand the guy, any good hearted person should be ecstatic that maybe, just maybe, the Islamic murder cult Hamas might lose some power. 1

You don't realise that there has been infighting among the Palestinians for many years , you just have tunnel vision where Israel are the only enemy and everyone fights against Jews. Fatah and Hamas have a long running conflict with each other 1
nauseus Posted March 28 Posted March 28 1 hour ago, Patong2021 said: The Arabs you refer to migraged from Syria and the Arabian peninsula. The Bedouin Arabs are a nomadic people and drifted about and were primarily found in the Sinai with nomadic excursions into the Negev and back. Bedouins did not conflict with the. Israelites/Judeans and were forced out of their nomadic range at the same time as the Israelites/Judeans were forced out by the immigration of Arabs. You ignore the negative impact that the Roman occupation and Ottoman occupations had on local peoples. They were disruptive forces that forcibly shifted populations from one region to another. You also ignore the large influx of arabs into Gaza and the Palestinian territory as a result of the Suez canal. The Europeans built the canal using hundreds of 1 million+ Arabs recruited from North Africa, Syria, Arabia and Iraq. When these workers were used up and discarded, they often had nowhere to go. Egypt did not want them and there was no future for them in their country of origins. Large numbers were settled in the Palestinian territory region. They most certainly did not go home to a bungalow in Syria. The europeans exploited the Arabs, much as the Turks did. And they left a massive mess. Rather than take responsibility for it, they instead do what they have always done, blame someone else for the negative impact of their greed and colonialism. Before you get too far along with the Suez Canal, you might want to read about the expansion and outcomes of the Arab/Muslim caliphates invading and occupying much of in Europe from 711. Oh, and not just the nicer bits.

nauseus Posted March 28 Posted March 28 1 hour ago, Patong2021 said: Depends on the time frame and who engineered the regime change. Overall, regime changes have paid off for Europe, UK and the USA. When the Ottomans regime was removed, Saudia Arabia was created under the same agreement as Israel and the payoff for some countries has been fantastic. The reinforcement of the family clan nation states of UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar, when Saudi Arabia was created has also paid off. The Same agreement gave rise to Jordan and Lebanon which worked well for the west until someone else tried to initiate regime change. The troubles in Lebanon over the past 40 years are due to Iranian, Syrian and Russian attempts to impose their own regime changes and we see the results. Jordan is a good little poodle state for the west dependent upn western aid. The west initiated regime change that put the Shah in power worked well for the UK and USA as it delivered stability, oil wealth and Russian curtailment. They were not responsible for the last regime change in Iran. Even the regime change in Libya has worked out for the financial interests of the EU. Libya and France are. still accessing the valuable oil of Libya and now its without the hassle of madman Qadaffi. It hasn't worked out for the Libyans, but when have the EU really cared about the well being or interests of North Africans? The influx of refugees is a small cost to pay for the billions of Euros the access to Libyan oil brings some vested EU interests. Absolute nonsense.

Popular Post Eloquent pilgrim Posted March 28 Popular Post Posted March 28 15 minutes ago, ChicagoExpat said: Even they can see the horse they backed is a loser. Nail firmly on the head; they were happy enough with Hamas, with some of them joining in, when Hamas slaughtered nearly twelve hundred innocent Israelis, and thousands of them were happy when they lined the streets of Gaza, spitting on the dead, dying, and mutilated bodies of hostages. Now, suddenly, with a change of the guard, and the fleeting possibility that Hamas might actually cause them to be forcefully evicted from Gaza, they have changed their tune. And of course, the PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) are still lurking in the shadows; to call the situation complex oversimplifies it. 2 1

It might be instructive for you to take a look at the vote count in favor of Hamas at the election that brought Hamas to power. It’s a long while back, but it will nevertheless give an idea of what percentage of people in Gaza backed Hamas at the time. Hamas never has had a majority support in Gaza.
