Part 10/11:
One stark reality often ignored in Western discourse is that Gaza’s descent into chaos wasn’t caused by denying Palestinian statehood, but rather, by the established existence of a Palestinian territory that Hamas now controls. Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 was meant to foster peace, but instead allowed Hamas to take control and forge a terror-based administration.
This historical context underscores a misjudgment: granting Gaza a form of autonomy or recognition does not inherently lead to peace but can enable terrorist groups to fortify their hold and launch attacks.
