    while ensuring that enough of the survivors are radicalised enough to keep the military funding going.

    this is the part everyone misses. it’s a batman/joker thing. as long as bibi can make the case that there’s at least one living member of Hamas, he’s free to send the IDF to loot, pillage, burn, rape and murder in Palestine. This is why Israel funded Hamas for years. There’s nothing an asshole likes more than another asshole, so that while he’s being an asshole he can point to the other asshole and say “Look what an asshole that guy is! I’m protecting you from him.” The fact is the Israeli and Palestinian civilians have both been victimized by Hamas, the Israeli government, and Europe. This conflict is full of powerful people trying to convince regular powerless people that other regular powerless people are the enemy, but the fact is an Israeli civilian has more in common with a Palestinian civilian than they do with Hamas or IDF.
