But you're OK with Jewish fundamentalism
causing massive death & destruction in Gaza.
Bless your heart.
You shouldn't be criticizing anyone else's
understanding, given your religious
fundamentalist approach to this conflict.

Yes, I noticed your devotion too.
This was never in question.
strawman
You seem hell bent on demonizing Israel. That smacks of tunnel vision.
It's hardly a straw man when
it's central to the conflict.
Perhaps you don't know what
the term means?
Straw man - Wikipedia
Valid criticism.
I sincerely hope that some day that country
will find peace, tolerance, justice, & wisdom.
But currently it's a murderous regime.
That is probably not the term I would have used.
Your barbs are so much more slurry.

I said seems to have, not has. I gave my reasoning in the rest of the post, which you did not quote. There are many signs that ethnic cleansing is what Israel is driving towards--making both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank so uninhabitable and dangerous for Palestinians that they will leave. It would be a "river to the sea" strategy in which Greater Israel (or Eretz Israel) is once again reunited as a Jewish state. Ben Gvir doesn't run the Israeli government, but I think he says out loud what others wish he think he should shut up about.
OK.
For what it's worth, Eretz Israel means land of Israel.
Of course -- some others. And Trump "says out loud what others wish he think he should shut up about."

Clearly so, and there's been many more of that from him as we've seen, including blatantly dishonest attacks on Judaism.
Another semitic slur from one who defends
Jews' & Christians' genocide of Muslims.
It's another example of dishonest Zionist
weaponization of language, ie, making "semite"
apply only to Jews, but not to other semites,
eg, Palestinian Muslims.
They'll use any trick, rationalization, & lie to
justify stealing Palestinians' land, killing them,
maiming them, & driving them away.

And is not the Gaza Strip and the West Bank included in Eretz Israel? Israel has never relinquished control of those areas. Why else have all those illegal settlements sprung up in the West Bank? In some ways, this current war is all about those settlements, because Bibi Netanyahu has been pretty open about letting Hamas control Gaza as a means of splitting and weakening the Palestinian opposition to Israeli expansion into the West Bank. What he didn't realize was that letting Hamas have its way in Gaza would eventually blow up in Israel's face.
For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

Regrets israel.

Thanks. All I could find was this thread in Middle Eastern Politics, which only Metis responded to. There wasn't anything there to contradict my point that Israel basically has no coherent policy for ending the fighting other than simply driving most of the Palestinian population into other countries. It doesn't look like it will be possible to destroy Hamas without doing that, and the spreading colonization of the West Bank will continue to its inevitable conclusion--full Israeli hegemony. The Gaza Strip is becoming unlivable for the current population there, thanks to rampant decimation and terrorization of the civilian population.
Israel-Gaza : The Netanyahu plan
Great observance and descriptions.

The stated policy is to eliminate the Hamas' government and destroy its capability to launch rockets and other attacks.
Do you believe that a stated policy is necessarily
the actual or only policy at work? If one looks at
all the deaths, dismemberments, & damage, this
is a war on Palestinians at least as much as it is
on Hamas. The stated policy by many in Israel,
including high officials is to deport them to Africa.

Who are the ministers leading Israel’s new far-right government?
Top ministers in Israel’s new right-wing, religiously conservative cabinet headed by Netanyahu include illegal settlers.
Hamas has no government. The strip cannot even supply water, let alone govern the dust.
