re: #11 War On Music

So, both the current Israel government and the Hamas government reject each others right to exist. My question is, which body has the actual power to make non-existence a reality?

The Likud’s rejection of self-rule is crappy, and should be modified to show that it’s short-term. Sadly, I don’t believe that a lot of members of Likud are sincere in their belief that the situation can be improved. I think that their swing to the right shows that they’ve given up, and that’s bad, and scary. I’m not in the least bit a Likud supporter.

But that language clearly recognizes self-rule. By contrast, Hamas (and Fatah, for that matter) both state that the entirety of Palestine is Palestine, and that’s it. Furthermore, Jews are forbidden to live in Palestine. The two planks are not comparable.

Iron Dome. Moving civilians out of cities that are close to a conflict zone. At most, I can directly targeted assignation by Mossad agents, never bombing.

Moving civilians is not feasible. Iron Dome is imperfect. Your solution is not a solution. Do you care to try again? If a rocket is firing on Israeli positions, are they allowed to attack it while it’s firing?
