The Haaretz article says “Friday’s attempt to breach fence was most violent yet”.
That implies the attempted breach was the most violent yet on the part of the Palestinians. Or it is poor English and they meant the response was the most violent yet?
Either way, an attempt to breach the fence is not exactly peaceful. October 7 was a breach.
I acknowledge that certainly is a disturbing number of injuries. Did they all happen in the space of a few minutes before people could retreat? Or were they refusing to retreat and pressing on?
they had tried the peaceful option
Hanas and PIJ were viloently trying to thwart the Oslo peace process.
And I thought the very reason Likud became more right wing was because the suicide and missiles attacks were happening even after the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, perhaps even emboldened by the withdrawal.
Gaza remained under siege
Because of the attacks and the need to prevent rearmament.
It is delusional to think Jews will withdraw from the Levant regardless of whether we think they should be there in the first place. Egging Hamas on is therefore irresponsible IMO.
Regardless, the expansion into the West Bank has me concerned. I have no opinion on how to curb that at this point apart from the hope of a turnaround in the October Israeli election.
Am happy to discuss at this level.
