    When will the World stop Israel indulging in this Blood thirsty revenge ritual ?

    I suspect it will end when they have achieved safety for themselves. Unilaterally withdrawing from Gaza didn’t work, negotiating with Hamas didn’t work, perhaps destroying north Gaza, (and I suspect eventually annexing it,) to create distance from this endlessly violent and belligerent territory will keep their population safe from their explicitly genocidal enemy.

        Yes indeed. In hindsight that seems obvious, but at the time it didn’t. Generally speaking divide and conquer is a good strategy against one’s opponents so I understand why they tried it. Israel’s system of incentives didn’t mean much to a radical Islamist enemy who wants to drive them into the sea at all costs. It kind of reminds me of how the US inadvertently created Al Qaeda via the Mujahadeen, which directly led to the 9/11 attacks.

          PLO at the time was gaining popularity by pushing for a two state solution. That doesn’t track with “drive them into the sea” narrative of the enemy though.
