    What’s delusional is claiming you can have “total victory” without explaining what that actually means.

      looks around nervously we just want Hamas to not be in Gaza! Any one of those Palestinians could be Hamas! They all have tunnels! It’s not a genocide! Promise!

        They can’t even claim they just don’t want Hamas in Gaza, because now they’re doing operations in the West Bank. So what if whoever they consider to be Hamas flee there and goes to Lebanon? Or Syria? Or Egypt? Or Jordan? Is Israel just going to keep fighting them wherever they decide they are?

      Netanyahu’s criterion for total victory is the eradication of Hamas.

      This criterion cannot be met by attacking Gaza, since much of Hamas’ leadership is not in Gaza. This is just an excuse to attack Gaza indefinitely.
