RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
ā»ā P F Tinmore, et al,
HAMAS is not truly an issue - as total destruction is NOT politically advantageous.
HAMAS does enjoy a MORE than a modicum of popular support. The psyche of the Arab Palestinian has been stoking the image of a heroic figure (martyr) as a larger than life rebel against wage war against authority (A Masked Avenger Persona). Thus, as long as HAMAS maintains a generational promotion of its heroic image, the seed of an insurgency will continue.
(I DON"T KNOW BUT IT WOULD APPEAR)
The Intelligence, Security and Police authorities know this. And in knowing this, the objective of any contact is ā NOT to pursue the destruction of HAMAS, but to squeeze the capacity of a resistance dry, through the elimination of supply chain, the destruction of dedicated facilities and infrastructure, and the removal of materials necessary to continue a meaningful campaign.
ā¢ Interdict the Illicit flows of small arms and light weapons (SALW) used to undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Israel and the rule of law. They are often a factor behind the forced displacement of civilians and massive human rights violations. This would require Israel to address the threats posed by accessibility of SALW used by terrorists as well as to counter the supply and trafficking of weapons to terrorists (HAMAS being a deignated terrorist group.) (ā¢ See: S/RES/2220 (2015) ā¢)
ā¢ Requires parties to the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism to take steps to prevent and counteract the financing of terrorists, whether direct or indirect, through groups claiming to have charitable, social or cultural goals or which also engage in illicit activities such as drug trafficking or gun running. (ā¢ See Convention ā¢)
It is not a matter of "to take out Hamas" as you put it. That is entirely the wrong question (invalid if you will).
Most Respectfully,

(COMMENT)How many times has Israel tried, and failed, to take out Hamas?Israel just keeps getting lower and lower on the world stage.Israel getting ready to shoot itself in the foot again.The Islamic terrorists in Gazaāistan might want to consider that a repeat of the beatdown they suffered in 2014 may be close.
Yeah, all those dead Islamics.
You are a hoot.
Good, we're here to lead and do a Tikkun, not to appease You.
The less we can count on the nations, the less we'll try to appease You and Your fashions - and the more we'll rely on Hashem.
Hamas is merely a test of our belief, all those who tested our belief in Hashem eventually became dust of history, to be digged from the dirt and put on some stand in a museum.
Baruch Hashem Am Israel Chai!
