[TownHall] BLUF: I understand the idea of a "Peace Board" to get around the UN and get things done. That which I understand less is the program being put forward for Gaza. And the reason why I don’t understand is that there are certain immutable facts that make the whole $25 billion program untenable:
Hamas will not really demilitarize
The people are Hamas and Hamas are the people
The fundamental hatred of Jews is not addressed in the program
Countries such as Turkey and Qatar will work to strengthen Hamas against Israel
The Palestinian Authority is as corrupt today as it has always been
Egypt will make no effort to prevent the movement of weapons into Gaza
Israel will once again be put at risk of Palestinian terror from Gaza
| Yes. So much all of that. |
