(RealClear World) J.T. Young - Over almost two years since Oct. 7, Hamas has not slackened its zeal for killing Israelis; only its means for doing so have been diminished. When it releases hostages, it only does so on terms heavily favorable to it; it steadfastly refuses to release all the hostages it holds. Hamas bears full responsibility for the carnage since Oct. 7, not only in Israel but in Gaza too. Implicitly, the world knows Hamas will never stop killing, because it has no other purpose and no greater aim. The world cannot appeal to Hamas's humanity because the world knows Hamas has none to which it can appeal. So the world instead takes the easier route and presses Israel to stop what Hamas has brought on itself and Gaza but refuses to stop. Nations - Britain, France, and Canada - who demanded unconditional surrender for WWII's Axis powers - are validating everything Hamas has done, calling for a Palestinian state while Hamas retains the reins of government in Gaza. Never has Gaza shown itself less capable of self-government; never has such a state's justification been less valid; never has Israel had less confidence in such a state's future or its own security. 2025-08-14 00:00:00Full Article
