Same with Hamas, really. At this point anything either organization does basically violates the "just war" (oxymoron, I know) tenant of only attacking an enemy when you believe you have a reasonable chance of success.
- diggan 2y ago> Sounds to me like they need to disarm, then. I'd want all militaries to disarm too, unlikely to happen unless everyone starts to agree to not get into everyone else's business. So besides getting everyone to disarm, what could we do?
- lenerdenator 2y agoGenerally speaking, when the Israelis mutually recognize Arab nations, they respect the terms of the agreement. Jordan and Egypt are examples. So long as the other party says "you get to exist" and doesn't actively tolerate anti-Israeli militant activity within their borders, Israel won't use its military against them. There are probably some exceptions to this rule, and yes, their occupation of the West Bank violates international law, but attacking just no longer works. Gaza lies in ruins and the IDF conducts operations in the area at will. There are currently thousands of people wrapping their electronics in aluminum foil in Lebanon. Disarming and sitting down to talk in brokered negotiations is probably more effective at this point.
