I think you and I know full well Hamas still exist - they paraded themselves well enough at the hostage return ceremonies. In fact it was a complete act of defiance to show they existed.
I don't agree with what Netanyahu has done in the last few days, part reason I never wanted the Palestinians to return - the two groups hate each other (Hamas/IDF led forces and the leaders behind them). It's never ever going to end and in the meantime the civi's remain the victims in the middle.
I have no idea how to end this war, I have no solutions, other than to say, no way would I be returning to risk being slaughtered again. But we see this same bloodshed in Syria, Sudan, the Ukraine front line, all which have seen the suffering and slaughtering of kids.
It's a shame sometimes all atrocities don't receive the same attention, but they don't and as Saf pointed out, I proved that a while back, when I showed what was going on in Sudan, no one cared, despite whole families being exterminated, people only care when they have a flag to wave, and with Israel there are some very big flags being waved.
