Hamas strike on Israel

Palestine is the complete opposite of Israel, in the sense of, its not a united functioning democracy. 

And why is that? Since it's inception, Israel has ensured the Palestinian people could not become a strong independent functioning democracy.

Unless they can come to terms with themselves they will achieve nothing against Israel,

This sentence is meaningless.

If you think that sentence is meaningless, then so be it. But you're wrong. Palestinians have to unite and become as one, then with a united front face Israel. They're incapable of that now, because they're too factional.

Absolutely none of the above is in any way a logical response to what I posted. It's just a lot of words that illustrate very little, other than an attempt to place the blame fully on the victim whist letting the victimiser off the hook.

I’m not wrong; it was meaningless.
The whole “Palestinians need to get their act together” is a massively blinkered view with little basis in the reality of their situation.

I do, not because of anything other than I think of this whole thing as Israelis v Palestinians.

By your logic, Operation Overlord shouldn't have happened because it led to the bombing of Caen.

Another complete false equivalence. To equate what is happening today to Caen in 1944 requires total wilful ignorance of both situations.

When was there ever a state of Palestine?

That's not the point being made, and nowhere has anybody suggested such a thing either.

Your blaming Israel for stopping something that never was.

I suggest that you go back over what it was that I wrote because it's clear from that line that you didn't fully understand it the first time.

But if the Palestinians want it they need to unite politically is my point.

Israel won't let them. It's the very reason they bankrolled HAMAS in the first place. The Palestinian Authority were making too much headway in uniting the people of Palestine and pushing for statehood. Israel were dead set on doing everything the could to kill that.

palestine can't even agree with itself about its governance.

Palestine has been divided by Israeli interference for decades. You have a people that are split across an area and are completely controlled by an outside faction who are intent on keeping them under the boot. The Palestinians, as a people, are naturally discordant about who they are to look to for leadership and when you have an occupying power that further seeds that discordance because they don't want them to have any kind of unity, it's only inevitable that that unity becomes difficult to achieve.

None of that eliminates the fact that the absolute major player in keeping a Palestinian state from becoming a reality is Israel. Not the Palestinians.

Israel was also warned about HAMAS 20 years ago.

In an interview with Politico in 2023, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that "In the last 15 years, Israel did everything to downgrade the Palestinian Authority and to boost Hamas." He continued saying "Gaza was on the brink of collapse because they had no resources, they had no money, and the PA refused to give Hamas any money. Bibi saved them. Bibi made a deal with Qatar and they started to move millions and millions of dollars to Gaza." At a Likud party conference in 2019, Benyamin Netanyahu said:

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas ... This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."

Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to the accusations of funding and strengthening Hamas by calling them "ridiculous".

Gershon Hacohen, former commander of the 7th Armored Brigade and an associate of Benjamin Netanyahu, said in 2019 in an interview:

“Netanyahu’s strategy is to prevent the option of two states, so he is turning Hamas into his closest partner. Openly Hamas is an enemy. Covertly, it’s an ally.”

Bezalel Smotrich, a far-right lawmaker and finance minister under Netanyahu Government, called the Palestinian Authority a "burden" and Hamas an "asset".

That theory is up there will "The US government orchestrated 9/11".
