    This cycle will just keep producing more and more fighters for them as they believe they are the resistance.

    This sentence has been repeated after every flare up there since 1948. Nobody there learns because nobody there wants to. Having a constant enemy is very useful for those in power on both sides.

      Not to forget that Likud is a far right party, that needs constant fear and an enemy to continue to thrive, and they have that in the face of Hamas.

      Also quite interesting to note is that Israelian settlers can also be quite violent and radicalized, but almost no one is talking about them or about their unprovoked act of aggression.

      So when fighting terrorism Israel should not apply double standards and treat all violence no matter the origin equally.
