So there's a lot of difficulties. It's fraught with problems, both militarily and within the, you know, politically and within the civilian population for the Israelis to maintain the type of occupation that I think they would need to maintain in order to truly defeat Hamas and Gaza.
Yeah, absolutely. And you have to remember, so look, support for Moss has certainly dipped, but by all accounts, it's somewhere in the most 50% of the population. Now, could that be because the people are afraid, you know, the pollsters? Maybe it's 30%. But-

you know the numbers with there's multiple studies on this and who knows what the real percentage is you know there's lies damn lies and statistics but they say anywhere from two to five percent of the population is what a successful insurgency needs to to maintain itself so let's say that number is 25 or 20 or 30 who knows what the truly the sport is the reality is is that the support amongst the people in gaza for hamas is still high the people have been indoctrinated

for decades by Hamas. This was the real danger. You know, it's interesting, right? Like, I'm going to make an Afghanistan comparison here. The Israelis withdrew from Gaza in, what, 2005 or 2006. And the thought was they could isolate it. And... You know, just let them be and they won't have any reason. And here we are two decades later. And the problem is metastasizing.

And Hamas still remains in control of Gaza, even if it's tenuous. U.S. invaded Afghanistan to to eject the Taliban from power. And here we are two decades later. The Taliban is back in power. Maybe we need to learn something about how we engage with terrorist organizations that are more than terrorist organizations and that have outside support.

Maybe that's where the Israelis in the West, the problem is as much of the West isn't supportive from us now. Look at Europe and their attitudes towards Israel. The Israelis have a real long-term problem when it comes to Hamas. Hamas just needs to figure out how to bide their time, how to wait out the Israeli offensive and just move back in when the Israelis tire.

No, I agree. I mean, that new generation, the young male, the military age male or even younger than that. I mean, when you look at the destruction in Gaza, what do they have to lose? On one hand, I don't blame the Israelis. On the other hand, the Israelis have been far too kind for what the people of Gaza did. It's not just Hamas, right?

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the PLFP and the alphabet soup of terrorist organizations that emanate from Gaza, as well as the West Bank, celebrating that attack on Israel.
