Netanyahu, HAMAS And Dearth Of Reason In Middle East by
maasoap( m ): 6:50am

maasoap: One hundred or one thousand yearsfrom now, posterity will
wonder howit was that we allowed the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict to linger on for this long. Although the conflict has
its beginnings in Ancient Times (1250BC-638AD), its modern
origin can be traced to the shenanigans ofEuropean powers
and the politics ofthe two World Wars and the events
surrounding the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 and
the fallout from the subsequent Israeli-Arab war of 1967
and the 1973 YomKippur war.Historians will tell you that the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the single most enduring
conflict of anygeneration. It is the one conflict, and the
one region, that has confounded statesmen, world capitals
and casual observers the most. It is the conflict without
end. Or at least, so it seems. And especially if you follow
what’s been happening in recent weeks, you couldn’t help
but wonder when this insanity will come to an end. And
frankly, it is one of the great failings of the United States
of America, Brittan, Russia and the United Nations.
This needs not be a “conflict without end.” There could be
peace and security between the Palestinians and the Israelis
if (a) HAMAS and similar non-state actors affirm Israel’s
right to existence, peace and security; (b) the Palestinians’
inalienable right tocomplete freedom is realised and
guaranteed; and (c) sections of religious and political
organisationsin and outside of the US stopped playing
politics with peoples’ lives and destiny. The solution may not
be this simple. But really, many complicated, convoluted and
knotty situations have been resolved or mitigated by way of
reason, common sense and pragmatism.Reason, common
sense and pragmatism are what seem to be lacking here.
HAMAS cannot defeat the Israelis (who are backed by the
USA). Today’s reality is that not even the US can tell the
Israelis to back off – or to grant the Palestinians complete
autonomy. The days of Washington dictating toTel Aviv are
long gone. Forever gone! And there is nothing, really, the
White House – especially the Obama White House – can do
aboutit. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proved this
point on several occasions.And even the United Nations is
without fangs and claws when it comes to Mr. Benyamin
Netanyahu.He is a one-man army who doesn’t care about
global opinion. Many world leaders seem to be afraid of him.
Those who are not afraid despise him.
Even so, as the Israeli leaders and his soldiers get ready to
wipe out HAMAS, they must remember the instructive words
of John G. Stoessinger in that seminal text, Why Nations Go
To War. He reminded us that “The emperors and generals
who sent their men to war in August 1914 thought in terms
of weeks, not months, let alone years.”President George W.
Bush was also under the impression that Iraq and
Afghanistan will be a surgical operation. After the fall of
Bagdad and Kabul, Bush expected to be hugged and
decorated. He was dead wrong! We all now know what
happened. We sometimes fail to realise that military quests
are unpredictable. What’s more, wars, as Steve Yetiv tells
us, “reflect the failure of reason to control events and
emotions.” In the estimation of Kenneth Waltz, “in wars,
there is no victory but only varying degrees of defeat.”
Therefore, will the ongoing undertaking result in total
victory for Netanyahu? No! Will HAMAS achieve its stated
and unstated goals? No!Meanwhile, deaths and destruction
and suffering will continue as the world stands askance
impotently. The Israelis are not going away; andneither is
HAMAS. Even if there is a ceasefire today, the conflict will
flare up again tomorrow. This will be the pattern until
reason, commonsense and pragmatism prevail on all sides .
For Netanyahu, the HAMAS “wahala” is personal. Truly
personal! HAMAS and its predecessors at least had a
modicum of respect for Yitzhak Rabin, Yitzhak Shamir,
Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon andEhud Olmert.
But not for Netanyahu.Nothing seems to have occupied his
mind more than HAMAS and Hezbollah. And globally,
Netanyahu is the least admired Prime Minister of Israel
since its founding in 1948. What’s more, in wanting to avoid
themistakes of previous prime ministers, he is determined to
crush, first, HAMAS, and then Hezbollah. If he could, he’d
accomplish both tasks instantaneously. Unfortunately, he
can’t.Israel is a democracy. This is a hopeful, determined,
resilient and progressive country. Many people are under
the impression that without America’s backing, it will
crumble under pressure and attack from its regional
enemies. Well, thatis a grand fallacy! This is a state with all
the trappings of a modern nation-state and with a superior
economic and military prowess.
Having the US as a friend doesn’t hurt. It is a bonus. It
does not diminish the greatness of that great land and its
people. Nation-states may rise and fall in terms of
greatness; but they seldom disappear as some people are
wishing Israel would.Just as no force on the face of the
earth can make Israel go away or push it into oblivion, no
force can get rid of HAMAS. And that’s the reality.
What is likely to happen to HAMAS is what happened to the
Haganah – a Jewish guerrilla group from 1920 to 1948; and
to the “National Military Organisation in the Land of
Israel,” otherwise known as Irgun. Publicly available
records indicate that after the founding of Israel in 1948,
their members were conscripted into the Israel Defence
Forces. Menachem Begin, the sixth Prime Minister of Israel,
for instance, was an active member.The metamorphosis of
Haganah and Irgun into a legitimate arm of government is
nothing new. Many of the Americans who fought colonial
Britain went on to become respected and respectable men of
post-1776 America. This was also the case in Ireland and
South Africa and Algeria and wherever there has been armed
conflict against a colonising force.
HAMAS will be absorbed into government in a free and
independent Palestine. That will be its fate.So, if you want
HAMAS dead, simplygrant Palestinians complete
independence. Nothing else will suffice; nothing else will
bring peace and security to that part of the world. This is
because even if you kill off its current leadership, there
are many more Palestinians ready to replace them.
No generation will bow to colonisation. None! The practical
thing to do, then, is to immediately embark on a two-state
solution: Safe and secure Israel… Free and independent
Palestine.

brosss: Nice write up, but Contrary to what you suggested, Mr.
Netenyahu has been one of the most admired isreali leaders,
who takes protection of israelis as priority.
Any sane leader wouldn't sit back and allow an unprovoked
shelling to go unanswered..... Shelling so sever that under
3days, over 2000 shells have been fired into israel. But for
the prudence of developing the iron dome system, we might
have been looking at a more severe terror. Now recall that,
and as Hamas knows, Israel is a nuclear harmed state.
Everyone knows what happens if even one lone missile hit a
nuclear station.
I have followed this development carefully both on cnn and
aljazeera and realised that Hamas are just been the
terrorists and islamists they are for the following reasons;
1) Unprovoked and unannounced shelling of israel- over
2000 rounds intercepted in two days
2) Forcefully Digging tunnel and trench networks from
innocent palestinian homes into israeli territories
3) Turning down a humanitarian cease fire, and playing it
down as joke
4) Inability to provide a reason for the resent spate of
attacks on israelis- the hamas spokesman, just couldn't
answer the question.
5) Using innocent palestinians as human shields.
Now, let me state categorically that israel has never
resisted a free and independent palestine. Matter of fact,
they have always supported a palestine that's free from the
clutches of terror organisations like Hamas and hezbola.
Here are the few commitments made b israel...
1) Evacuating the entire gaza strip, even after
constructing estates to accommodate some of its six million
people. The relative size of gaza to israel is like, ibadan to
Nigeria. Imagine the cost and discomfort. Why, because they
wanted sustained peace.
2) Proposing and honoring a cease fire, till hamas called it
of by rocket fires, looking to catch israelis of guard.
3) Giving a 6hour humanitarian cease fire while enduring
rocket fire, to give the innocent palestinians time to move
out of the comflit zone.
4) Pre- announcing their reason for entering into gaza, to
snuff out those trench rats trying to dig into israel to
cause havoc.
5) Israel has maintained that her goal is for a sustained
peace! Which isn't out of place
Mr Netenyahu has always stated that its not Israelis desire
to roll into gaza, but she is been systematically forced to go
into gaza to protect her citizen.... In military terms, meet
he enemy in her territory, so your land, won't be the
comflit zone,,,, also.... Its always better to meet your
enemy at the gate.
Palestinian can get all the independence they
desire,afterall, Israel has never and never desires to
colonize any state not to talk of Palestinians. They can
equally elect as much presidents as they need.... All israel
asks, is.......SUSTAINED PEACE for her citizens, so they
don't have to run to bomb shelters every hour of the day
without warning.
Last bullet......... If only someone like Netenyahu was our
president......... Boko haram would have been-----------
(you complete the sentence)

jayseehe: don't vote party, vote individuals... let's make Nigeria a better place. please, as we go for election, put party affiliation or sympathy, religion and tribe aside, only then we will he good leaders and Nigeria will move forward

@topic, I believe GEJ can do anything to remain in power, he is power drunk... he doesn't mind impeaching all APC governors, and killing the ones he can't impeach

I always say GEJ is the chief commander of the armed forces of Boko Haram, he uses it for his political gain. yesterday he wanted to use them to kill Buhari...

you should have asked why with all resources at GEJ's disposal, he has done nothing to end the insurgency

#ImpeachGEJ

a typical example of apc fan.

now you are condemning gej aka pdp with no proof.

and what is the fuss about the man re-marrying.
so, he should remain single while he lusts away.

that a woman can stay put for the rest of her life doesnt mean so for a man even if the bond between him and hiis dead wife is a covalent one.

besides, he needs someone that can take care of him. a woman is very essential in a man's life. those thay dont have wouldnt know what they are missing.

level of grace matters. so allow the man. Christy has done her part and she is gone.

may she continue to rest in peace......"iya mi seun rere" remains the ringtine for my beautiful mama.
