Tom Segev, an Israeli historian, argues: “With the Palestinians, Israel has a conflict which is about the very roots of each side’s national identity.

 

“Hamas was prepared to sacrifice over 50,000 of its people on the dream they could one day displace Israel.

 

“And Israel was prepared to kill those 50,000 in a delusion that Gaza would no longer pose a threat.”

 

Alex Kane: Israel is no more secure today than it was after October 7

 

Kane goes on to argue that a permanent solution requires participation by Arab states, the USA and the EU to formulate a political response to negotiate a peace. Unfortunately, Israel's overkill, to use the term literally, only fuels hatred, leading to another generation of potential terrorists.

Well worth reading the whole article.
