In keeping with the incredible "advice" being given to Israel with regard to peace with the Palestinians, we have to add what is probably the worst advice ever offered. First let's go into a little background.
1. The Gaza Strip is controlled by the terrorist group Hamas which ousted the Fatah party of Palestinian Authority president Abbas in an uprising in that territory. Hamas then constructed tunnels from Gaza under the border and into Israel. Hamas terrorists used the tunnels to launch attacks inside Israel without being detected. In 2014, the Israelis and Hamas fought a two month war during which Israel destroyed all or nearly all of the tunnels.
2. Since 2014, Hamas has used the supplies which get into Gaza to reconstruct the attack tunnel network rather than to help the residents. The Israelis, however, have devised a system to thwart tunnel construction and to detect and destroy any tunnels that Hamas manages to build.
3. In the last month or so, Israeli forces have blown up two Hamas tunnels that reached inside Israel.
That brings us to the bad advice. The peace "experts" are worried that Israel's act of self-defense by destroying tunnels that Hamas has built under Israeli territory may cause Hamas to act in desperation and launch a full scale war. These fools are counseling Israel not to destroy any further tunnels.
This is beyond stupid. I wonder how many of these "experts" would give this advice if it were their families who lived on top of the tunnels, thereby facing a surprise terrorist attack. These fools suggest that Israel leave its citizens open to deadly surprise attack in order not to upset the terrorists.
It never fails to amaze me just how little common sense many of the foreign policy experts have.
