quixoteFinally found it. The cartoon I saw that summarizes my feeling about the Hamas-Netanyahu disaster:
Kevin Leecaster@quixote
Democratic concepts are less catchy as bumper stickers than are those of the extremists.
axel.@GreenFire @quixote „Peace NOW / STOP Hamas“ is quite catchy.
But of course, you are right.
Erik Haugen@axeln @GreenFire @quixote I am guessing 95% of people in your country and mine desperately want that ASAP.
The point of disagreement seems to mostly be around what is acceptable for the IDF to do to make that happen. (answers seem to range from "immediately disband and leave the area" all the way to "keep doing what they're doing until Hamas is no more")
@ech @axeln @GreenFire ech, the biggest problems come in because it's not a single purpose response.
There's fury at the attack and the right to respond.
There's Netanyahu wanting a state of war so the judicial system can't continue his prosecution for corruption.
There's the hard right who wants to use the response to "encourage" the Gazans to leave. This works together with Bibi's warmongering.
Job 1: depose Netanyahu. Also Hamas. Start on a two-state solution.
@quixote @axeln @GreenFire Implicit in your response is that you believe it's obvious that BN ought to be doing something materially different in order to "depose Hamas" or otherwise respond. I want to believe it, too. I just don't know what that other thing could be.
