>> If I wanted to avoid escalation by militant Islam in the #middleeast, I wouldn’t start by making a quarter million able-bodied men homeless & motherless
You disregard the real victims of #Oct7 surprise rocket attacks by #Hamas and paint these men as innocent victims as if the Hamas terrorism movement is on autopilot, with no need for able-bodied men. How many of those men were Hamas recruits or sympathesizers before Oct7? What would YOU have done instead?

>> How well did that go in Northern Ireland?
#FalseEquivalence. Completely different backgrounds and histories. #Catholics and #Protestants in #Ireland were not #eliminationist. #Hamas charter calls for the elimination of #Jews and destruction of #Israel.

>> In modern times terrorist organisations are almost never defeated by military actions, but by political solutions
What political solution worked with #BinLaden? Is #AlQaeds active in #Afghanistan anymore? US left Afghanistan in a mess because of their own corruption and #Trump’s deals with #Taliban.

>> 1933, british promised 33% of #Palestine to the #zionist movement. 1948 they were given 56%. By 1967 they controlled 79%.
Palestinians have not been free in more than 500 years. Since 1517 they were under the onerous #TurkishYoke as subjects of the #OttomanEmpire. British offered Palestine to #Turkey in exchange for exiting #WWI, but Turkey refused.
British initially rebuffed #Zionism and made many requests to Turkey to get out of the War, but they refused

#Arabs joined the British to defeat the Turks, and so earned freedom on the #Arabian Peninsula. What did Palestinians do to EARN their freedom?
In 1947, Palestinians were given freedom but they rejected it at the behest of neighboring Arab nations who they let fight #inTheirName, lost multiple times, and came out worse off each time. That’s Palestinian folly, not Israel’s fault.
