Quote from: Tamas on October 12, 2025, 08:34:23 PMPerhaps it was an awkward phrasing of it. What I meant was that I am hoping I am right, and this is why European response has been extremely muted.Awkward or not, it was very clear what you meant.
Quote from: The Minsky Moment on October 12, 2025, 10:46:36 PMBy destroying the housing, the shops, the businesses, the offices, the mosques and churches, the coffee shops and restaurants, the social clubs, the hospitals and the clinics. By rendering the entire population destitute and jobless, by destroying all meaningful economic activity, forcing the entire population to be nearly completely reliant on outside aid.
What other organized body is left in Gaza other than Hamas?
Quote from: Admiral Yi on October 12, 2025, 09:56:52 PMHow did Israel destroy any possible expression of Palestinian civil society?
QuoteBut should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Quote from: The Minsky Moment on October 12, 2025, 07:59:06 PMYes of course. Between Hamas and Israel, any possible expression of Palestinian civil society in Gaza has been utterly destroyed. Hamas is all there is left to fill the vacuum. Which of course serves the Likudniks just fine because it ensures Gaza will remain weak and isolated and destitute, as well as feed their hard-line security narrative. It's a symbiotic relationship.
