Maybe Bibi needs to take a page from Putin’s playbook on pacifying ethnic minorities.
Hamas isn't an ethnic minority.

Doesn’t matter, Hamas identifies with and purports to speak for all Palestinian Arabs. It’s a strange world there in which religion, ethnicity and national identity are often inextricably intertwined.
Besides, the Chechen parallel is close enough for government work.

Maybe Bibi needs to take a page from Putin’s playbook on pacifying ethnic minorities. Chechnya. Find a Ramzan Kadyrov type from among the Hamas network and put him in charge of Gaza. He’ll keep everyone in line and out of mischief. It won’t be pretty but he will keep Gazans from terrorizing Israelis. Hold a sword of Damocles over his miserable head to keep him in line.
The other day someone was looking for a parallel to this current war. The Chechen experience of the 1990’s and early years of the 2000s is your answer. Gaza city is looking a lot like Grozny did when Putin let the dogs out on Chechnya.
Some pretty nasty stuff happened in that conflict.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The mindset is so foreign from anything I can understand. Their grievances outweigh the chance for their children to live a better life, or even to live at all. I acknowledge that mindset exists but will never understand it on a human level.
Low status petulant board flipping, similar to what some attribute, less convincingly, to Trump supporters.

BTW, the Biden Whitehouse walked back the statement about the dead baby pics.
Blinken confirms - he's seen the photos.

How do the actions in Germany and the UK translate into her comment about a US War?

one might say the same about the systematically low status classes of America, where parenting is a persistent problem. Hopeless people don’t typically instill hope in their kids.

I think it relates to the final comment and quoted tweet about Columbia
Great, so 1/2 of her tweet is irrelevant. Beyond that she seems to be ignoring the 12 or so Americans killed by Hamas… Beyond that, how many of her tweets do you think can be found that are very pro-Ukraine (not an American war)? Now while I agree that pro-Palestine displays and support should be allowed, I suspect our reasoning is VERY different.

I sincerely hope we take a hard look at our immigration policy and border security in this coming election season.

Her father is Esam Omeish. He is the former president of a group identified as the “overt arm” of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.
Esam also served on the board of Dar al Hijrah, a mosque with a long history of ties to terrorism finance. Omeish has also been accused of links to terrorism by a Libyan parliamentary security committee.
Arbrar herself is affiliated with Muslim Brotherhood groups.
She also has close ties to International Institute of Islamic Thought, a think tank once raided by law enforcement over ties to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fundraising.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

He was also on Governor Kaine’s Immigration Task Force when certain videos of him accusing Israel of Genocide and calling for Jihad came to light and he had to resign.
