Thank you Rebekah and Sheri for your comments.

Seems like making a deal with Hamas is an impossible quest, for how do you bridge the gap when one side wants Hamas destroyed and the other side wants Israel destroyed and neither are prepared to compromise? Your suggested approach seems like the only one that has any chance of leading to the conditions for changing the outlook. And it means people have to choose their priorities -- which is more important: Hamas or the Gazan civilians?

Well, it certainly doesn’t send peace any farther.

I don't think there is a choice, not if one wishes to stand for peace and truth; life or death. One might think that by now the civilians would turn on their leaders. (I'm making an assumption here, that there's more of them than Hamas.) Perhaps in a manner after Hitler's generals. Or something.

The unequivocal words are still pronunced in Gaza and Judea/Samaria, From river.... Every time I happen across that epithet, I add a dash after free, and the words, "from Arabs".

Sobin's latest post is illuminating: https://open.substack.com/pub/cliffordsobin/p/its-time-together-to-take-a-stand?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=e9sbt.
