      Hamas is a response to a repressive Israeli regime. Even if you “wipe out” Hamas, another group will just fill its place.

      It’s not a matter of just getting rid of the “bad guys” and hoping the forces of good win the day… It requires a monumental shift not only in the treatment of the Palestinians, but in the entire political structure of the area. Which is neither happening easily nor quickly. And sadly, there’s not a whole lot we can do to help the situation.

        The Palestinian people have to see a better option than extremist violence. People will take what they think is their best incentive. If they have no hope, if they feel like they have no representation, then they choose violence. So we have to give the people a better option than Hamas

          The Israeli people have to see a better option than extremist violence. Zionists will take what they think is their best incentive. If they have no land, if they feel like they have no representation, then they choose violence. So we have to give the people a better option than Zionism.

            Sure. What you say is true. Everyone responds to their incentives.

            There is a asymmetry in this scenario though, the Israeli government has 100% military control over the entire country.

            I don’t know the solution to the scenario, but if we keep repeating previous patterns, we’re going to get previous outcomes.

      I don’t know if you know this but Hamas is controlling the administration of the Gaza Strip. They are a terrorist organisation but also the de facto local government.
