    Smotrich may be a smooth brain but at least he is willing to say what he actually wants and is willing to do.

    I think you’re completely wrong here…Hamas has literally lost half its fighting force , multiple government Hamas leaders as well and eviscerated multiple tunnel systems.,.They went from initially straight up engagement battles to now just sporadic hit and run tactics and relying on pretend “innocent civilian” homes to hide hostages and that even has been proven a weakness amid the daring daytime rescue operation

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middl...switches-full-insurgent-mode-gaza-2024-06-06/

    This isn’t going to be a snap the fingers and it’s over,., Hamas is using tactics that contribute to a prolonged situation but it’s clearly in a very vulnerable authoritative governmental status given their recent failure of securing high profile hostages in which only 1 IDF was a casualty vs close to 200 either Hamas or Hamas enablers among daytime and hostile dense areas

    Sadly, the IDF is running missions in the ruins of central and north Gaza again because Hamas is effectively running an insurgency in what should be IDF secured territory. You can’t bomb Hamas out of existence just as we could not bomb the VC out of existence (and not for a lack of trying).

    From what I can tell based on that and just photos of her post-rescue, Hamas or the Al Jazeera Reporter keeping her prisoner definitely treated her better than what would be expected or was typical in this conflict.
    I can’t imagine the psychological trauma her or anyone else involved in the attack will be suffering for the rest of their lives.

    So are Jewish Democracy and Christianity Democracy. But Israel is officially a Jewish and Democratic state. Democracy should be secular.

    Not to the same degree. Islam is the only one that in many places punishes leaving the cult by death. Etc. Not the same.
