Because I think it would be a bad idea and a terrible incentive that would ultimately lead to more terrorism in the region and several more October 7ths.
I’m not exactly sure what the best course of action is to counter Hamas, but a ceasefire doesn’t seem right.
My biggest concern is the way in which the Israeli government is trying to counter Hamas. What do you think about imposing sanctions/restrictions on how the Israeli government carries out their actions?
I largely think that Israel has a large duty here to protect its citizenry from the terrorists who want them dead. I don’t want sanctions imposed on Israel. I think they are largely “in the right” and that the majority of the blame for the death and despair in the region is due to Arab states/Palestinian leadership wanting to wipe Israel off the map. Longer-term peace in the region will only result when there is an acceptance that there will be a Jewish state called Israel approximately where it is now.
Thanks Marcus. I would appreciate if you could please expand on your points, so I can better understand your perspective? Particularly, why do you say that the Israeli government is “in the right”, especially as it relates to the way in which they are carrying out the attack on Hamas. I have heard that the IDF has highly sophisticated intelligence capabilities. If this is true, would it follow that they would be able to avoid killing civilians while still attacking Hamas?
I guess we shall see how the next few days play out, with the temporary pause that has recently been announced.
