Hamas has claimed its youngest hostage - a 10-month-old boy - has been killed along with his four-year-old brother and their mother.
Shiri Bibas and Kfir and Ariel Bibas were taken during the terror attack on Israel in October and were the highest-profile civilian hostages yet to be freed.
How would you do it? Israel tried to negotiate for a long time and in better faith then Hamas.
Every imaginable approach of defeating irregular combatants has been tried and nothing worked.
Look at Afghanistan where NATO built schools and hospitals, and enabled women to have basic human rights.
Look what happened after NATO left.
The difference is Israel can’t just leave and let Hamas do their thing because their thing is killing every single Israeli possible.
It’s hard to say at this point. After a 75 year campaign of terror, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing it’s hard to say what could reasonably turn that around. Maybe looking to South Africa is a good model towards peace. They’re not in great shape but it’s much better than where they were during apartheid.
South Africa was one country and didn’t have one faction that lived for eradicating the other faction
