We know that what Hamas did on October 7th was horrific and that the people of Israel were severely shocked.
However, in going after Hamas, Israel is treading a very dangerous path. I am unconvinced that a hospital (or many) and so many houses have to be totally destroyed or so many people left hungry and thirsty.
The state of Israel is in great danger of losing the sympathy of the world and its leaders becoming afraid to travel abroad for fear of arrest on war crimes.
Meanwhile, 6 months on, Israeli hostages are still being held, or killed by Israeli bombing.
Even if Hamas was to completely disappear, is this a recipe for long-term peace? So much hatred has been created, surely Arab states are even more anti Israel.
Surely, the only way to lasting peace is talking.
