I too think the world has gone mad. ^^

And I remember that Arafat was one of the world's richest people, while Palestinians were one of the poorest.

   

You know that, I know that and THEY know that but they keep doing it because they see no other option. The PLO chose peace and for that they got ousted from the strip. This is a Gordian knot that must be cut and the increasingly extreme right wing Israeli government and decades of imprisonment has forced this to explode. War was the only possible outcome because all other options have long since been cut off.

^^ Cliffnote version. Israel created Hamas, exploited them for political gain, isolated them and gave them no exit.

Political powers that be in Israel are not forced to reform as they are propped up by international aid that is not vetted. Rinse, repeat.

Perfect example of double standards. ^^

When Russia invaded Ukraine, we praised Ukraine for resistance and standing up for bullies. We gave Ukraine money and guns and bullets to take back their territory from aggressors. When Russia bombs a cafe full of people burying their war dead, we propose war crimes trials.

But when Israel does the same thing as Russia, they are the good guys? I'm not excusing any side from their heinous acts against civilians (except Ukraine who avoids such actions), but lets at least be consistent. If it's a bad thing for Russia to drop buildings on children, then it's a bad thing for Israel to do. If it's a good thing for Ukraine to resist an aggressor invading their lands, then it's a good thing for Palestine to do.

Worst thing I can see is that Fred Hahn did was to not wait a longer amount of time to post his message. Too soon.

Human version: there is simply no excuse for the deliberate butchery of civilians even if you can't take on the opposing army. None at all. We're not talking about collateral damage, even military excesses or even war crimes. Hamas is undisputedly no more than murderous thugs.
And if the people of Gaza are willing to allow Israel to remove Hamas rather than themselves. they'll pay the price in 'collateral damage' as they always have.
Obviously there are the usual reasons and excuses from two totally intransigent opponents, but they no way can justify the sheer barbarity of the attack by Hamas.

   

Hahn statement put not only his unions reputation in question but also disrupts any credible examples of support in a public sphere for the Palestinian people. It was inept and tone deaf. He should step down.
