A STRANGE SOLICITUDE
The unhealthy insistence of Westerners and Arabs in wanting to prevent the State of Israel from putting an end to the terrorist capabilities of Hamas has something paradoxical.
It has been several weeks since the IDF offensive against the last divisions of Hamas was blocked by the enormous pressure exerted on the Government of Israel by the USA as well as by the Europeans and the Arab Governments at peace with Israel, not to mention the Russians or China.
There is a strange contradiction between the fact that both the Americans and the Europeans have recognized, declared and made official the fact that Hamas is a terrorist organization that the inhumane attack of October 7, 2023 on the Israeli civilian population, and among other things, the massive taking of hostages of men, women and children, confirmed beyond all possible doubt, on the one hand, and the concern to prevent, at all costs, its dismantling by Israel, on the other hand.
For the Egyptians, for example, they position themselves as enemies of the “Muslim brothers” who inspired Hamas, and yet come to the aid of the latter. Since three days (May 10, 2024), the government of Israel has finally decided to ignore all these pressures, including that resulting from US President Biden’s decision to prevent the delivery of certain weapons to the Israeli Defense Forces.
It is in fact absolutely obvious that maintaining essential Hamas units in combat order would allow this organization to renew its intolerable control over Gaza, to quickly reconstitute new units and to very quickly prepare a new assault against Israel.
