Comments by "Winston Smith" (@winstonsmith935) on "Netanyahu says Hamas ceasefire proposal falls short as Israeli forces take control of Rafah crossing" video.
British PM Chamberlain Declares "Peace for Our Time". On September 30, 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain received a rowdy homecoming after signing a peace pact with Nazi Germany and Hitler.
We all know how that went.
Israel-Hamas War, war between Israel and Palestinian militants, especially Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), that began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a land, sea, and air assault on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
More than 240 people were taken hostage during the attack. The next day, Israel declared itself in a state of war for the first time since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The war began with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducting air strikes on the Gaza Strip, followed weeks later by the incursion of ground troops and armored vehicles.
I would say knowing the history of Hamas and ISIS , the Israli PM was just being cautious, and not repeating the Mistakes the British and the rest of the world made with Hitler.
