Bovendien is de holocaust nog te 'vers'. Er zijn nog overlevenden, er zijn kinderen van overlevenden en zelfs kleinkinderen die het lijden en de angst uit de eerste hand gehoord hebben. Dus voor 'ophouden met zeuren' is het te vroeg m.i.
Juist door die eeuwenlange vervolging heeft Israël wat mij betreft bestaansrecht. Dat de huidige machthebbers er een puinhoop van maken vind ik vreselijk. En als die machthebbers zich rechtvaardigen met de holocaust, moeten ze ophouden met zeuren. Dat dan weer wel.

Imo moet de holocaust
nooit vergeten worden. Ook niet als we generaties verder zijn.
En joden verdienen een eigen staat, waar ze zich veilig kunnen voelen.
Palestijnen verdienen die echter ook.
Dus imo geen discussie over wie het meeste lijd of geleden heeft, of over wel of geen Palestijnse staat.
Ze hoeven "alleen maar " samen/met behulp van de VN vast te stellen welke plek van wie is, en dan elkaar met rust laten.

Israel's two Reckonings

The massacre carried out by Hamas has been compared to 9/11, but like most analogies applied to Israel’s situation, it fails to describe the reality. No American seriously thought that the very existence of the United States was endangered by the fall of the Twin Towers. But the defeat inflicted by Israel’s least formidable opponents has profound strategic implications, emboldening other enemies on its borders. In Israel, no strategic depth separates the home front from genocidal threats.
<knip>
Israel’s critics are right to link the slaughter carried out by Hamas with the occupation of the West Bank, but not in the way they suppose. The atrocities have provided Israelis with a visceral reminder of why so many dread the prospect of a full withdrawal from the West Bank, risking the creation of another Gaza minutes from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. To say that the occupation causes terrorism misses the larger point: Terrorism has all along reinforced the occupation, convincing Israelis like me who believe that a two-state solution is essential to also fear that a two-state solution is impossible.
Israel is hardly blameless. Understandably but disastrously, many Israelis have conflated security fears, which justify a military presence in the West Bank, with historical and religious longings for the biblical land we call Judea and Samaria. Those longings are the basis for the settlement enterprise, whose political goal is to preclude any solution to the Palestinian tragedy. And in recent months we have seen an outrageous rise in settler violence against innocent Palestinians. Even as we protect ourselves from Hamas, we need to oppose those among us who would emulate Hamas.

How many Israelis, or Jews, or anyone else for that matter, have read the 1988 Hamas Covenant or the revised charter that was issued in 2017? With 36 articles of only a few paragraphs’ length each in the former, and 42 concise statements of general principles and objectives in the latter, both are considerably shorter and more digestible than the 782-page original German-language edition of Mein Kampf. Moreover, unlike Hitler’s seminal work, which was not published in English until March 1939, excellent English translations of both the original Hamas Covenant and its successor can easily be found on the internet.

What Would Hamas Do If It Could Do Whatever It Wanted?

Hamas is an organization devoted to ending Jewish history. This is what so many Jews understand, and what so many non-Jews don’t. The novelist Amos Oz, who has led Israel's left-wing peace camp for decades, said in an interview last week that he doesn't see a prospect for compromise between Israel and Hamas. "I have been a man of compromise all my life," Oz said. "But even a man of compromise cannot approach Hamas and say: 'Maybe we meet halfway and Israel only exists on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.'"
In the years since it adopted its charter, Hamas leaders and spokesmen have reinforced its message again and again. Mahmoud Zahar said in 2006 that the group "will not change a single word in its covenant." To underscore the point, in 2010 Zahhar said, "Our ultimate plan is [to have] Palestine in its entirety. I say this loud and clear so that nobody will accuse me of employing political tactics. We will not recognize the Israeli enemy."

The “rules-based world order” is a system of norms and values that describe how the world ought to work, not how it actually works. This aspirational order is rooted in the idealistic aftermath of the Second World War, when it was transcribed into a series of documents: the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Genocide Convention, and the Geneva Conventions on the laws of war, among others. In the more than seven decades since they were written, these documents have frequently been ignored. The UN Genocide Convention did not prevent genocide in Rwanda. The Geneva Conventions did not stop the Vietnamese from torturing American prisoners of war, did not prevent Americans at Abu Ghraib from torturing Iraqi prisoners of war, and do not prevent Russians from torturing Ukrainian prisoners of war today. Signatories of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights include known violators of human rights, among them China, Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela. The UN Commission on Human Rights deteriorated into parody long ago.

Kort gesteld : Israel heeft een aantal buren die graag van Israel af willen er daar al dan niet indirect voor uitkomen/naar toe werken (bv Iran met financieren van Hamas & Hezbollah). Nu Hamas in het zuiden zo kon huishouden komt ook de vraag boven of Israel wel nog steeds te groot/sterk is om met rust te laten.
Aanvulling : VN kan wel gelijk hebben, maar als de andere kant zich er ook niks van aantrekt, wordt het eenzijdig stoppen met nogal dodelijk.
