ISIS IN GAZA… ONCE AGAIN…. “ I TOLD YOU SO” COMES TO MIND!

At the very beginning of the current confrontation between Hamas and Israel, I made the comment on just how dangerous this cycle of violence could become and why this time around it was going to be “different”.

Look at my post from Wednesday, July 9^th 2014.  “Fear is a weapon of Mass Destruction”.

So, cutting right to the chase; was I correct?

Does IS, formally known as ISIS, have its hands in the conflict inside of Gaza?

If so, why?

Well, it’s just for the reason I stated back on July 9^th; to take the advantage.

If you don’t believe it, then ask yourself why Hamas is so adamantly denying the IS statements?

Here is the larger question and the larger threat; what does the IDF think?

If IS is truly operating at some level inside Gaza, what does it mean for Hamas?

Does Hamas have to fight to the last man in order to keep the support of the very youth that must stand in front of the IDF?

 Does a “soft” compromise position lead to support for Hamas falling away?

Where would it go?

These are easy questions to ask and even easier to answer.

Hamas is in a fight to its death and they know it.

No escape route into the Sanai Desert.

No Syrian support.

Little support for a Hezbollah that is under doing everything in its power to stay afloat in Lebanon as it sends it’s young to the death fields of Syria.

Does Israel understand the danger of completely destroying Hamas?

What will replace it?

Fatah?

No.

The simple truth is, no one understands the dangers of a dysfunctional Hamas more than Israel.

Yet, does Israel understand Hamas could very well be in a position where they cannot come to the table and thus the decision has been made to neutralize their movement in Gaza completely?

Is this why the occupation of Gaza seems to be the default end state for this current conflict?

What options do Israel and Hamas really have?

Oh, by the way, Abbas would love nothing more than a destroyed Hamas.

Who can interject anything into this cycle of violence that would make a definable difference?

Turkey?

That’s the rumor, but I would put much stock in Turkey bringing anything to the table the Israelis are interested in.

Besides; the only message the Ottomans could spell out for Hamas is one that starts with the word, Compromise!

The concept of compromise is music to the ears of the IS.

Qatar?

Rumors fly on Qatar working with Turkey on a “compromise”.

Qatar; the country that is currently in a  less than favorable standing with the GCC…. A GCC that fears the IS nearly as much as they fear the Persians.

What would Qatar bring to the table?

What does Qatar offer Israel or Hamas?

A peace keeping force?

Money?

When Qatar rings the phone of Sisi, does he even answer?

Can Qatar get between the Israelis and Sis?

No!

Qatar may once again appear to trying to help, but right or wrong, very few in the region seem to want Qatar’s opinion.

Hamas must fight and they must continue to fight and as they fight, innocent civilians must be killed, hour by hour, day by day.

Hamas has been backed into a corner, not by the IDF; not by the GCC  or any of it’s old supporters.

Hamas is soon to be the latest victim of the phenomenon that is sweeping the region.

Islamic State!

IS seems to be the virus that no political doctor can find a cure for!

The infection is spreading and Gaza is the next victim.
