John Hinderaker:
But it is obvious that re-occupying Gaza will be painfully difficult at best. An entire generation of Gazans has been reared under the insane tutelage of Hamas. How much do they know of civilized life? Not much, as the horrors of October 7 demonstrate. Somehow, Israel will need to figure out how to govern such people.
My only word of advice, for what it is worth, is that as soon as possible after the war is over, Israel should cut off all foreign aid to Gaza. Gazans need to learn that trying to kill Jews is not a career path, and that economically useful skills are necessary for survival. These will be brand new ideas to those who have been raised under Hamas, with the indulgent support of the UN, the EU, and our own State Department.
