Opinion | Here Is the Real Route to Freeing Palestinians

1. *”For too many, including those who call themselves pro-Palestinian, Palestinian misery seems to matter only when the blame can be pinned on Israel.”*

   An opinion piece by Bret Stephens, arguing that the only road to “Freeing Palestine” will have to pass through the destruction of Hamas.

   He points to the continuing protests against Hamas inside Gaza, and the brutal murder of some of the participants by the terror group, asking why American campuses are silent about this.

   He mentions how Hamas holds a brutal tyrannical control over Gaza. With torture chambers and “Secret police”. How they steal aid from Gazans to themselves.

   Bret argues that the only possible road to peace goes through eliminating Hamas and only Israel seems to have the will for that. But also how even more important than that, the Palestinians as a society must change, and the mentality of “Resistance” which spawned Hamas must be gone.

   *”What matters even more than overthrowing Hamas is overcoming the mentality of the so-called resistance on which movements such as Hamas (but not only Hamas) were built. If the core Palestinian demand is not the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel but rather of one in place of Israel, then the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is bound to continue.*”
