There is no Caliphate and Hamas isn't even on good terms with Al Qaeda or as you correctly point out most of the Muslim world. There is no Muslim unity to speak of. They will never live happy independent lives until the US steps up and slaps Israel which will happen right around when Harry Potter Fans abandon JK Rowling the author of the Neo Testiment of hate.
There is no Confederacy, but white supremacists keep the dream alive of the South rising again and putting African Americans back in their place as second-class citizens. The same is true of Palestinian Arabs. For centuries the Arabs held the whip hand over Jews in the Middle East. The founding of Israel in 1948 shattered the myth of Arab supremacy. There won’t be peace until the Palestinian Arabs accept that Israel isn’t “theirs” and Jews in the Middle East are never going back to being “happy darkies” ruled by their Arab masters.
 
Would the goal of HAMAS be important if thy get a state, rule it and build up an army?
The indiscriminate bombing by soulless Israeli pilots makes modern anti-aircraft artillery the highest priority if/when Gaza achieves statehood. Israel primary method of sowing terror amongst their neighbors is the indiscriminate seemingly random bombing.

Anti-aircraft systems would go a long way towards "levelling the playing field" and humbling the "neighborhood bully" Israel, as Israeli civilians decry any military activity that might result in the loss of Israeli life (which is tacit support for aerial bombardment).

Gaza doesn't really need an army. They need AA batteries and a functional navy to prevent naval blockades.
 
"if at first you don't succeed, give up" would make a great Rightguide family motto.
The effort failed because it was a bad plan conceived by 20 somethings in the Biden White House and America's new found Amphibious Warfare expert, Tony Blinken. All were warned it was a bad plan. :rolleyes:

Nikki Haley Writes ‘Finish Them!’ on Israeli Bomb After Refugee Massacre​

Days after dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli air strikes against displacement camps in Southern Gaza, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley wrote “Finish them!” on Israeli artillery shells.

Haley, who recently sputtered in her bid to defeat former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination, toured a kibbutz ravaged by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against Israel in the company of current Knesset member and former UN Envoy Danny Danon

“If you think this will only be in Israel, if we are arrogant enough, this could absolutely happen in America too and this is the moral of this story,” Haley said at one point during the visit.

Danon posted a collage of photos on Tuesday showing Haley writing on an artillery shell. “Finish them! This is what my friend, the former ambassador, Nikki Haley wrote today on a shell during a visit to an artillery post on the northern border,” Danon wrote.

I'm sure you're conflicted between agreeing with her and denigrating her.
 
G-d damn, Laz, I read the article.
The article says "Hamas fired rockets on Tel Aviv". A delicate bit of wordsmithing by the Israeli Genocide Force never says exactly WHERE the rockets were fired from, only that Israel retaliated.

And where did they target their retaliation? On a strip of land previously marked as a safe zone.

Israel did this deliberately.

Amoral, gutless butchers of women and children. Israel is a terrorist nation.

White House signals Rafah strike doesn’t cross ‘red line’​

The White House on Tuesday indicated an Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” that would lead to a change in U.S. policy.

Multiple administration officials in press briefings Tuesday described the images out of Rafah as “heartbreaking,” “tragic” and “horrific.” But there was no sign of an impending policy change as a result, because it was an airstrike and not a major ground operation.

“We still don’t believe that a major ground operation in Rafah is warranted. We still don’t want to see the Israelis, as we say, smash into Rafah with large units over large pieces of territory. We still believe that, and we haven’t seen that at this point,” White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters.

“As a result of this strike on Sunday, I have no policy changes to speak to,” he added. “It just happened. The Israelis are going to investigate it. We’re going to be taking great interest in what they find in that investigation. And we’ll see where it goes from there.”

Your Uncle Joe thinks it was no big deal. How does that make you feel, does that give you a little rumble in the tummy?
 
I'm sure you're conflicted between agreeing with her and denigrating her.
Her embrace of a hawkish persona signals a deliberate reinforcement of her stance, perhaps driven by a perceived necessity. While some may find it unpalatable, my personal indifference remains steadfast. It's depressing to consider the possibility of Trump extending an olive branch and potentially integrating her into his administration.
 
@RobDownSouth

i see, you have not understand what I mean or do not want to react on it.
I regret that my reply does not fit into your concise little world view.

You seem to want to absolve Israel from any and all responsibility in their genocidal campaign against the people of Gaza, and I cannot accept that the basis for any and all Israeli wrongdoing.
 
The editorialist seems to take some sort of perverse delight in relief aid not being able to reach the Gazan people.
One suspects he is fully invested in Trump's "Cruelty is the point" messaging.
Aside from your projection, what does Trump have to do with it?
