”That men do not learn from history is the greatest lesson of history” - Unknown

Palestinians in Gaza are under the threat of extermination following Israeli bombardments of the region after thousands of Hamas invaded Israel and caused casualties on the Israeli side.

Unfortunately we saw some people, especially on Nairaland, celebrating the invasion and suggesting that Israel would be overrun. I actually shuddered in disbelief of some people’s ignorance and illiteracy or timidity or poor knowledge of history.

The big question is, what did HAMAS hope to achieve with that invasion?

To evict Israel from the entire Israeli territory?

To make Netanyahu bend the knee and beg them?

Or to challenge Israel to a fight?

What’s their military strength?

What ammunition do they have?

Which allies will fight with them in a war against Israel?

What funding do they have?

Like, what was really the rationale of the invasion?

Well, just a little history that had the Hamas kept it in mind, they wouldn’t have put Palestinians in the present precarious situation they’ve put them now.

0n June 5, 1967, the Arab world officially started a war with Isreal. The war was led by Egypt 🇪🇬 with other Arab countries providing either men, arms or logistics. The aim of the war was to disappear Israel from the face of the earth.

But guess what…

Israel defeated them in 6 days. And it came to be known as the 6 Days War (google it).

Ever since then, Egypt abandoned, almost forever, the idea of ever going to military conflict with Israel. They harmonized their relationship; especially around Mount Sinai and others, and have lived in relative harmony since then.

And then comes my question again….

If a conglomeration of Arab countries could not defeat Israel, but rather Israel defeated them in 6 days, what did the Hamas set out to achieve?

Now, they’ve given Israel the reason to go full throttle in razing down Gaza without global condemnation which is what has always held them back from doing it all these years.

Ignorance is really a big disease 🦠, worse than HIV/AIDS actually. Because if not for it, Palestinians wouldn’t be where they are now.

I haven’t even talked about the fact that when push comes to shove, the world will be with Israel 🇮🇱, while only ragtag and insignificant countries might identify with Palestinians.

This was a mistake that should never have been made.

Hamas are terrorists and this time they will meet their super power. One isreali is equivalent to 1000 hamas.
They will surely get the heat.

Infact I'm not happy seeing some building in Gaza still standing. I want to see a total flat land in Gaza, that will warn the Nigeria terrorist in the name of religion.

OutOfTheAshes:
Who are the "those" you are referring to? Palestinians or Israelis?
Hamas misbehaved because they know that they would use innocent women and children as shields when Israel retaliates, so that the international community will call the Israelis retaliation a war crime and attract sympathies to them. Unbeknownst to them, the world understands that trick. And it's quite unfortunate that the resort to a self-destructive strategy.

What they got involved in was a suicide mission from the very start.

Lol!

Easy bro!

Not all of them are terrorists.

You don’t believe Israel won the war because they took on Egypt by Stealth?

But you believe Tinubu won the election because he was able to buy INEC to cook result for him?

Where is the correlation?



There is evidence that Israel took Egypt by surprise. It is there in historical documents.




But show me one proof that Tinubu bought INEC to cook results for him?





Even Obi and Atiku have not been able to prove that they won the election. Rather, they have been digging for means that would disqualify Tinubu from contesting in the first place.

You don't seem to be a good student of history.

Obi and Atiku have not been able to prove they won the election or your courts and their crooked and corrupt judges have refused to look at the evidence before them?

Add that to the fact that INEC who is supposed to provide petitioners with evidence to prosecute their case blatantly refused to do so in most instances and even sometimes disobeying court orders that mandated to do so and still there was no reprimand for such contempt.

But of course, you won’t see those things, would you?

I don't blame who sent them but the mumu Hamas. Knowing Israel's zero tolerance for terrorism should have been enough warning for them. Just like those mumu Japanese at Pearl Habour, the mumu Hamas have opened the gate of hell on themselves and Palestinians.

Their aim is to be heard and they were heard, this is just the beginning...

How can a sovereign Palestine be occupied by Israel??
Even after occupying their land, you blockade the remaining small land Palestine occupied by land, air and sea and bomb them whenever you feel like even after kidnapping their sons for speaking out...

This is pure injustice and daylight robbery.
Do you know Palestine was in league of nation when there was no Israel??
Israel begged Palestine to accommodate them after Hitler expelled them from Europe..

Chai, posterity will judge those that support Jew injustice against the Palestine people, you cannot be against apartheid South Africa and support Israel apartheid in Palestine...

Palestinians have a noble reason to demand for an independent state, but stop misleading the public.
Palestine was and has never been a sovereign country. Infact the "State of Palestine" was only declared by Arafat, leader of the PLO in 1988. Palestine only came close to becoming a sovereign state in 1948 when the UN Resolution declared a "two state", state of Palestine and state of Israel. The Palestinians rejected it and with the support of the Arab League decided to go to war which they lost.

Before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, that vast expanse of land which includes Gaza, the West Bank etc was ruled by the Ottoman Empire until it was ceased from them by the British after the first World War. I don't want to write a long epistle but....

Palestine or whatever name that preceded it "was and has never been a sovereign country"

SATAN DID.
