The U.S., Israel’s top ally, said it instead hopes to broker a cease-fire and hostage-release agreement between Israel and Hamas, and envisions a wider resolution on the war sparked by the militant group’s Oct. 7 attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called Hamas’ demands “delusional.”

Netanyahu also opposes Palestinian statehood, which the U.S. calls a key element in a broader vision for the normalization of relations between Israel and regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia. His Cabinet adopted a declaration Sunday saying Israel “categorically rejects international edicts on a permanent arrangement with the Palestinians” and opposes any unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state.

Netanyahu has vowed to continue the Gaza offensive until Israel achieves a “total victory” over the Hamas militant group and plans to expand it to Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where more than half the enclave’s 2.3 million Palestinians have sought refuge.

Total victory sounds like a final solution.

Bibi, the IDF and zionists are so far down the rabbit hole they can't see the similarities.

On another note I just rewatched Welcome to Sarajevo. It was like watching video of Gaza. :(

"Don't, don't, don't live under this dream that the West is going to come in and sort this problem out. Don't dream dreams."

Nothing has changed. I doubt it ever will.

A final solution to the Hamas problem, what could go wrong?

Plenty of Israeli government members talk about the "Palestinian problem", not the "Hamas problem".

It's quite consistent with how they say palestinians are "violent" and "human animals", which is the normal way racists look at other etnicities: as adversaries, all the same, bad and inferior, because of their race, all to blame for any bad actions of other people from the same etnicity.

The violence against Palestinians is as it is because of the profound racism that has been cultivated in Israel to justify the stealing of Palestinian land and all manner of inhuman actions against Palestinians to suppress their revolt against it: it's not seen as inhuman when people believe the victims are all the same, all enemies and all "animals".
