The atrocities justify bombing Gaza into oblivion. No hand to hand combat. Why lose more Israeli’s? The Gazan People, former Egyptians were complicit. They knew and no one told of the horrors to come.
This operation took months of planning. Though my heart cries out for vengeance, I have a way out that includes striking at the Hamas terror within Israel and dealing with the Gazan community.
If I were Bibi , I’d convene a Unity Government. The ultra right are responsible for Israel’s lack of preparation, politics over ran , military intelligence. . The ultra orthodox can’t and shouldn’t govern. They only care about their own self preservation . Since, they haven’t taken part in the Military, they have no knowledge of real world politics and warfare. That should change, if they’re to remain a part of Israeli society. No more exemptions. In the end it was arrogance that led to these massive breaches In Security. Not one spy? 20,000 work permits and not one spy? The postmortem will come. Now the clean up!
Unity Government #1
2 nd: Call every Arab Nation you wanted to trade with, starting with Saudi Arabia and ask their advice on how to handle this situation. What would they do? If this happened to them, how would they handle this problem?
Third, I would have every Arab country take a portion of the Population. Gaza no longer belongs to the Egyptian Gazans. It become 100% an Israeli port.
In this way you can eliminate all threats. You can carefully screen every resident, through scanners, and separate them one by one . Where would you place them? They have to be flown to another area? Another country on Arab planes.
Take the burden off of Israel. Sure we can declare war and level Gaza. We’re still stuck with those hiding in tunnels. Grenades?
The Brits and US bombed Dresden mercilessly. In the end how many died? 3 million Jews and 3 million Armenians, died horrifically in the Holocaust. Not counting all the soldiers and Russians.
Keep the infrastructure disabled, while negotiating theGazans fate. Our enemies would not expect us to contact the Arab Nations for their answer and response. They want to ostracize us! I would not give them that satisfaction.
Eliminate the condemnation and eliminate the Gazans from your shores. One problem solved
Get the other Arab Nations to negotiate peace on the West Bank or those people go back to Jordan. Or you can try dual citizenship with Jordan, for peace. They can stay in the land and must be educated and swear allegiance to Israel. They vote in Jordan. If they can’t, they’re expelled, also. Israel keeps the land from the Mediterranean to the current border.
Diplomacy between the Arab States is crucial. The infiltration of weapons must stop. The encouragement of terrorism overtly and covertly must stop.
Israel was made a sovereign Nation. They never started the Wars. They did take territory and people. Now the people must be dealt with.
Either the Arab states are serious about the Abraham accords or they’re not. If they’re serious, they’ll help with a just solution. They’re all complicit , directly or indirectly, in the murder of innocents.
Enough is enough!
Then deal with the Haredi. If the first two parts are done right, Bibi will be a hero, along with his Unity cabinet. It is the first step to a solution with the Egyptian Gazans and the Jordanian Arabs, in the West Bank villages.
Israel controls all monuments.
Jerusalem is the site of the Israeli capital. Rawabi becomes the provisional capital of the remaining West Bank towns.
Enemies don’t need to live in Israel. Then Israel will be bonded to the region and acknowledged.
The other steps are internal . Making a just society for whoever remains.
I’d be happy to go to Israel to advise. I’d man the phones calling every Arab head of State. Everyone must be on the record. All transactions transparent. A treaty must be written with new agreements and no more worries about money funding terrorism. First the terrorists must be gone. Dead. The complicit population dispersed.
My 2 cents , raw thoughts in a raw situation. It’s a beginning!
