If the conditions in Gaza continue as they have for multiple generations now, the eradication of Hamas will just beget the founding a different group with the same approach, or near to.
- robertoandred 3y agoThe conditions in Gaza are the result of Hamas and similar groups. Israel ended their occupation of Gaza twenty years ago and dragged Israelis out. Israel invested in Gaza infrastructure, but Hamas ripped it out and used it to make weapons. Israel allowed Gazans to work in Israel, who then told Hamas where to attack. Israel tried ceasefire after ceasefire, but Hamas just sent suicide bombers and rockets. And when as a result Israel tightened their border and built the Iron Dome, people say they're in the wrong. Those same people also never think about why Egypt also has a tight border with Gaza.
- hypeit 3y agoIsrael has a land, air and sea blockade on Gaza. The residents of Gaza are second generation refugees from the cities that Israel ethnically cleansed in Nakba in 1948. Israel also bombed Gaza's only airport. Israel has routinely murdered, sniped, arrested and abused all forms of non-violent protest such as the March of Return.
- robertoandred 3y agoA blockade? You mean the defenses set up by Israel and Egypt after Hamas started attacking? Ethnically cleansed in Nakba? You mean when Arab countries declared war on Israel and then lost? Non-violent protests? You mean using molotov cocktails, rifles, and grenades? You're describing effects but ignoring the causes.
- hypeit 3y agoYes, a blockade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip Yes, Nakba was an ethnic cleansing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba Yes, they sniped peaceful protesters at the March of Return: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_Gaza_border_protests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_Gaza_border_...

- etchalon 3y agoWhatever the reasons for the conditions, you have a large population of people who lack control of their own fate. Historically, those populations don't quiet down and accept it.
- wizerdrobe 3y agoEgypt has a tight border because Israel has a history of launching retalitory strikes against neighboring nations from which terrorist cells originated.
- jnsaff2 3y agoHow would that explain Egypt not letting Gazan refugees in?
- ceejayoz 3y agoPresumably, they worry that some of them will commit Egypt --> Israel cross-border attacks.
- fzil 3y agobecause Israel has a well documented history of not letting refugees come back to their homes after they leave. So, if Egypt lets any amount of refugees in, they might as well be increasing their population permanently with a group of people who want to go back.
- sudosysgen 3y agoNo Arab country wants to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of their own ethnicity.
- jnsaff2 3y agoAll three reasons offered are cold and heartless calculus that leave Gazan civilians in immediate need unhelped. EU nations accepted more than a million Syrians with more or less same issues along with way more Ukrainians. But suddenly another Arab, another Muslim, immediate neighbor just coldly keeps the border shut.
