Macron: Destroying Hamas will take 10 years
Arutz Sheva ^ | 3/12/23

Posted on 12/02/2023 10:33:50 PM PST by Eleutheria5

French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday said that Israel should clarify its goals in the war against Hamas, claiming that totally destroying the organization could take 10 years.

"We are at a moment when Israeli authorities must more precisely define their objectives and their final goal: the total destruction of Hamas, does anyone think it is possible? If this is the case, the war will last 10 years," Macron told a press conference at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, as quoted by Reuters.

"There is no lasting security for Israel in the region if its security is achieved at the cost of Palestinian lives and thus of the resentment of public opinions in the region. Let's be collectively lucid," the French President added.

Macron also said France was "very concerned" by the resumption of violence in Gaza and that he was heading to Qatar to help in efforts to kickstart a new truce ahead of a ceasefire.

.....

Macron recently caused an uproar after he said during an interview with the BBC that Israel "should stop killing women and babies in Gaza".

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the French President's comments in a press conference with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz, saying that Macron "made a grave error" and adding, "We don't need these moral lectures."

A French political official later rejected Netanyahu's criticism, clarifying that Macron "has not changed his position" on Israeli action against Hamas but believes that Israel can and should do more to prevent harm to Palestinian Arab civilians in Gaza.

The Germans were an army that wore uniforms, moved in mass formations of armor and infantry and could present themselves as targets for Allied armor, artillery and air power.

That was almost eighty years ago.

Today uniforms are relics and warfare, for the most part is asymmetrical. Hamas is a symptom. Islam is the illness. The question is how do you destroy the illness?

Before that he annexed Italy in 4-6 weeks or something.

Ten years is one of the single dumbest things this imbecile has said to date.

And to think, two generations of my family damned near lost their lives fighting for these cheese eating surrender monkeys.

In 1918 and 1944.

This is discussed at the wrong understanding. You need to exercise and terminate the top ten leaders of Hamas, which I suspect is about halfway to that goal. Then as the next ten step up...you exercise and terminate them. That event will take less time because they are unprepared for the job and the communications security required. Over the next six months...I’d say we go through at least three or four versions of this leadership game.

You don’t need to destroy Hamas....you need to lead them to the point that they fight each other over leadership positions, and their focus is competition among themselves.

The US and GB destroyed the entire nazi forces in a fraction of that time.
And never forget. The arms, equipment and machinery used to manufacture a massive war machine was not built using the metric system.

It has to be killed at the source. Their homes and schools.

Macron, like many other European and US politicians, finds himself needing to cater to Pro-Hamas sentiment on the Left and among the large Muslim communities in their countries. The results is all sorts of supposedly humanitarian preachments and craven political belly-crawling posing as wise advice to Israel. Sadly, this is providing an incentive for radical Islamists to use Hamas style terrorism and hostage-taking in France and other European countries to impose concessions like an official Muslim community political veto, state funding for mosques and imams, and the beginnings of Sharia law.

Nope, this will have zero effect.

Even if Hamas is destroyed there will be new groups or just jihadists working on their own.

Read a true translation of the Holy Koran.

The translations of the Holy Quran being sold to non Muslims have been altered to make Islam look like a religion of peace.

In our world what we call terrorism, in their world is just Muslims doing as the Holy Quran commands them.

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/16955

This is a link to a free book on Gutenberg.org, three translations by 3 Imams of the Holy Quran side by side.

Remember in one memorable scene, one of Scott's lines says it all: As Patton surveys the positive results of the battle in progress between Allied forces and the Nazi army in northern Africa, he proclaims, “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”

Every non Muslim needs to read the book.

Until they do, and then behave accordingly, this madness will never end.

“Macron also said France was “very concerned” by the resumption of violence in Gaza”

What part of “four day truce” did the Jew hating Frenchman not understand?

I estimate the destruction of Hamas is closer to 10 weeks than 10 years. It appears that Hamas has no leadership above ground in Gaza. The Hamas parliament has been scattered and no longer functions. That only leaves Sinwar and his staff underground in the tunnels. How long can they hold out?

I agree with you about the duration of the war — if Israel is allowed to proceed without undue interference. But aren’t Sinwar and the other big Hamas dogs hiding in Qatar?

Emperor Macron is no military man. He is a short ex-banker who will lose the next election, as Algeria and Morocco colonize France and Arabic becomes the second national language. But, hey, no big deal.

I don't think so.

True that. If the Allies had given a “proportional response” to Nazi Germany then Macron would have grown up speaking German and eating a lot of potatoes and cabbage.

Thanks. I hope this is correct. If he indeed is in Gaza, he will be easier to eliminate.
