THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.3.

 

But I was of the view that Hamas needed to move away from waging an unequal military struggle against an enormously powerful Israeli foe which is backed by the United States and Western Europe. And that it needed to seek a peaceful political path.

But, having reflected upon and reviewed what has been happening over the past decades. I have made some necessary, if tough changes in my position on the impasse surrounding Israel's continuing occupation of Palestinian lands. 

I have moved away from my position of thinking and believing that there was and is no point in Hamas and the other groups of Palestinian freedom fighters continuing to make seemingly suicidal attacks on the State of Israel. 

Whether by way of firing off small rockets which cause minimal or no damage to Israel and its citizens. Or by way of small groups of courageous fighters carrying out raids into Israeli towns or villages. 

All of which nearly always end in their deaths, and the disproportionate 'collective punishment' and retribution by the IDF

I am now of the opinion that there are merits to Hamas increasing the stakes with its 7th October attack. 

Even if, sofar, Hamas and the other Palestinian resistance groups are facing an unprecedented degradation of their forces and military potential from IDF attacks.

Looked at from the perspective of many of the hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinians - children, women and men- who are continuing to pay the price of the Zionists invasion of Gaza and the West Bank.  

With tens of thousands of deaths and shattered bodies and minds, and hundreds of thousands of destroyed homes, infrastructures and other properties. 

It seems rational and probably even logical to say, no!  All these deaths and shattered bodies  of both Palestinians and Israelis, and all this destruction. 

Is too high a price to pay for any benefit, any progress, now or in the future, which could be attributed to the repercussions of the 7th October 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighting groups.

After all, prior to 7th October, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were surviving, wrestling a life from diminishing resources, on the one hand, and increasing pressures from settlement encroachment on the other. 

To be continued!
