Everybody been psyoped hard. Spiritual and Psychological warfare. The seemingly “adversarial” and opposed tribal leaders beating the drums and pulling the levers of war are actually allies, like brothers arms interlocked, in the maintenance and continuance of crisis and conflict, as a means to bolster their respective authoritarian control.

I strongly disagree with anyone who insists that the only way to end the conflict is to remove Palestinians from the land, but in the post-WWII era there were mass deportations of Jews living in Muslim countries who were taken in by Israel. Displaced Palestinians in neighboring countries were never absorbed, and remained in refugee camps for generations. This only helped to deepen the crisis, and it was clearly intentional.
It seems to me that the issue shouldn’t be “Palestinians” but Hamas. Personally I have a desire to see peace for Palestine. But Hamas is a terrorist organization. The mess is that Hamas does not operate like a traditional military (intentionally) so that attacking Hamas causes civilian suffering. It’s a god awful mess.
