Defying the myths and the lies: Three myths and lies

Myth and Lie #1: If israel doesn't stay in Gaza, October 7th can happen again!

Truth #1: If there were 15 tanks at the border and 3 assault helicopters in the air on Oct. 7, this wouldn't have happened. israel is not facing the Russian army. The second crossing of the border, it's Hamas, and now Hamas's military capabilities have been significantly destroyed. The IDF was not on the border on October 7th and this is first and foremost the fault of the decision-makers and the army and the intelligence, but this is also the result of two decades of turning the Israel Defense Army into the Israeli occupation police in the West Bank. That's where the army was located on October 7, and not on the border of israel The Israeli army has the full capability to protect the borders of Israel from the Israeli side of those borders.

Myth and Lie No. 2: Israeli Control of Philadelphia Axis Essential for Security israel !

Truth No. 2: Alon Ben David, the military correspondent of israel channel 13 reported this week, along with others, that the Israeli army had not located a single tunnel penetrating the Philadelphia Axis into Egypt. Before the Egyptian coup in which Abdel Fateh al-Sisi became Egypt's president, there were hundreds of smuggling tunnels between Gaza and Egypt that smuggled everything, including weapons and weapons manufacturing materials and tunnel-digging machines. There was even an official Hamas government office in charge of the tunnels affairs from which tunnels could be rented for private business use. Egypt under Sisi has claimed that they have closed all the tunnels and it seems to be true. There is information that at the Rafah crossing many smuggling did take place through bribery. The Philadelphia corridor must be secured and sealed in a chemically way and can be done on the Egyptian side of the line. If israel does not trust the Egyptians to do so, I believe that in negotiating with Egypt there could be an agreement to place American inspectors on the axis on the Egyptian side to ensure the sealing of the axis. Israeli forces located along the corridor sat like ducks for Hamas armed forces.

Myth and Lie No. 3: You can defeat a military Hamas!

Truth No. 3: Hamas is much more than a military force and a government structure. Hamas is an idea and ideology and Hamas was imbibed in Palestinian society as part of resistance to Israeli occupation and control. Ideas and ideologies in general cannot be defeated by military means alone. Furthermore, there is no military solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and he never had a military solution. The way to defeat ideology and idea is to make better ideologies and ideas successful to the public that believes in them. The better idea to defeat Hamas is freedom, liberty, dignity and self-determination for the Palestinian people. Here it is also important to remember that if Palestinians have no freedom, liberty, dignity, and self-determination, Israel will have no security, and Palestinians need to understand that if Israel has no security, Palestinians will not have freedom, freedom, dignity and self--determination. We all need security - including the Palestinians.
