It will require much blood and treasure to destroy the idea of Hamas. Their racist gangster tactics won't just die quietly or without intense resistance. Lord, have mercy......

The "idea" of Hamas likely cannot be destroyed. Ideas, as was so pithily stated in "V for Vendetta", are bulletproof.

Hamas as an organization can be destroyed, and must be destroyed. The idea will remain, but without an organization to give the idea form and function, it will necessarily lie dormant for a time.

If Israel is wise, it will use that time wisely to render the idea of Hamas obsolete and irrelevant. It will use that time to find a path to real peace with the Palestinian Arabs. It will find a way to live side by side with the Palestinian Arabs in harmony.

If Israel is not wise, Hamas 2.0 will return a decade from now, more angry, more hateful, more genocidal than before.

It's not enough to cut out the cancer. Care must be taken to ensure the cancer does not grow back.

There is no denying that Hamas has sown a wind of war, and the Palestinian Arabs are now reaping the whirlwind of perpetual war. However, we should not be unwilling to admit that Israel has also sown a wind of war, and is now reaping the whirlwind of perpetual war.

I hope and pray that both the Israelis and the Palestinian Arabs find a pathway out of the whirlwind and into perpetual peace.
