    If we want this to stop we need to completely obliterate their ability to make war

    So, as Putin says, denazify?

    Hitler tried to kill off all the jews, and it didn’t work. BECAUSE YOU CAN’T KILL AN IDEA. That is also why israel will fail in “destroying Hamas”, and Hamas or anyone else will fail in “destroying Israel”. Ideas can’t be killed through drones or tanks, just people. And killing people just makes ideas stronger. I think there was a prime example of that in Israel, say, 2000 years ago?

      Israel is not “an idea.” It’s a genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialist state. And yes… those can be destroyed. You are correct, though… once destroyed, the white supremacist “idea” of Israel will live on. Just like the white supremacist ideas of the Antebellum South, Nazi Germany, Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa lives on. But apart from voting for the likes of Trump or joining the KKK they won’t have any power in the real world.
