Come on all, don’t link to the fucking Washington Examiner.
…of course it will.
Duh. Israel is going to want to monitor the region for a long time to make sure Hamas isn’t coming back. That’s going to mean boots on the ground.
Other nations that want to stop this from being permanent will need to step up and volunteer their own soldiers to monitor the region because Israel won’t give up the land without some strong promises that things won’t slip

Wasn’t Netenyahu sending funds to Hamas?Maybe stopping that should have been the first step.
Should have been a lot of things. Bibi can go get fucked but in the here and now Israel is going to make sure this conflict ends by force. No more Hamas for nutcases like Bibi to fund.
No more Palestinians either, apparently.
A lot fewer, based on the attacks so far. While I’m sure lots of people would prefer Gaza to be pushed into the ocean, the end result will likely still be Palestinian but with a different government and decades of rebuilding. It sounds like Israel is mirroring the Iraq or Japan invasion method which means a tear down and rebuild of government that will need to keep promises about launching rockets and other attacks.
That’s not how stopping terrorism works. Look at Afghanistan. The US spent 20 years trying to kill them off. For every one killed, 2 more got radicalized. It’s almost like slaughtering them makes them hate the occupiers more, not less. The Taliban took back the whole country in a couple days after being occupied for 20 years. Stopping terrorism with violence doesn’t work.
Afghanistan is a giant country. Gaza is the size of Las Vegas. Do you think maybe that will have an impact?
