In reply to the discussion: Netanyahu to US "Don't ever second guess me on Hamas again" [View all]Iamthetruth
(487 posts)You however I believe struggle. All Jews have a tie to Israel, it does not matter where you live. To understand Israel's stance in this war you have to have a feeling of the history of the Jewish people. The leader of Israel has a burden on him like most leaders would know. We in American don't live with thought that there is a group of people within firing distance that have it in their constitution or charter for not only the destruction of the country but for the elimination of their people. Just like every politicians takes an oath to uphold the constitution of the United State, Netanyahu takes an oath to protect his people.
hamas does not want peace with Israel, hamas will never want peace with Israel. Netanyahu knows this and lives with it everyday, as does the Israeli people. To not recognize it is to deny what hamas stands for. To not recognize hamas for what it is makes Israel weaker.
