The destruction in Gaza is an important reminder for Palestinians to think twice about the kind of future they want for themselves and for their future generations.
Very thoughtful perspective - should be required reading both for involved in determining Gaza’s future , need commentators who mouth shallow platitudes and the uninformed and indeed ignorant student protesters.
As hamas appears never to be willing to lay down its arms, it appears Israel's only option for sustaining security for itself is to eliminate the hamas fighters who remain in Gaza.
Peace in Gaza cannot become a reality until that is completed.
That will Never Happen! There has never been a Palestinian state in all of history and never will there be a Palestinian state.
On top of which, even the PLO so called governing authority has already insisted they will never give up their fight to attempt to obliterate Israel and it's people, not ever. On top of which Hamas is not willing to disarm and while everyone has been marching to this so called peace program, Hamas has continued to break the ceasefire rules and has instead been regathering it's militants, rearming it's weaponry and more to continue a war against Israel and it's people, for land that is not rightfully theirs and never will it be. Even these evil people's constitution of sorts refuses to acknowledge Israel, it's sovereignty and Israels people, making it exceptionally clear they will continue to attempt to destroy Israel, even if a political body were stupid enough to give them a state. It's all such a farse. Even I'm sick of this Board or Peace nonsense, as it's beyond obvious Hamas, the PLO, Turkey, Qatar, Iran, Lebonan Yemin etc have no intentions of any peace whatsoever with Israel.
When are people going to wake up to this fact and stop being so blindly and ridiculously down right stupid?
Pie in the sky until an entire civilization built on hating jews goes through some sort of revaluation of their societal goals. It may have worked in Japan and Germany, but was their hate as deeply embedded and historical for the enemy as in this situation ?
Unfortunately, Israel could not complete the destruction of Hamas. The hostages still being held, the protests inside and outside Israel by the leftist NGOs, and the Peace Plan offered were some of the critical factors that forced the Israeli government to abort their mission. Yet, the current reality of Hamas refusing to disarm may be an opportunity to restart the mission to destroy Hamas and also their sponsors in Iran.
There will be no peace until the fundamental purpose of the Mandate is realised - Israel is for Jews and Trans Jordan is for arabs . Remove the Gazans - they need deradicalisation in Jordan before they can live anywhere . Finish the extermination of all terrorists . Reconfirm Israel’s sovereignty over Gaza , Judaea , Samaria , Golan and all of Jerusalem . Then totally destroy the Iranian mullahs and all their infrastructure . Sign the Abraham Accords ( and the Cyrus Accords ) and there is a chance for peace .
You assume that there are rational actors still surviving on the Palestinian side. Anyone with that mindset has been killed or exiled by Palestinian leadership.

Good column, but the word “needed” in the title should be changed to “needs”.
It has not yet been accomplished.
