That's plain wrong. The PLO was already there before October 7th. They didn't recognize a Palestinian statehood at that time. This is a victory for Hamas, not for the PLO. The timing is everything.

Today Starmer finalized Yahya Sinwar plan. You can try to blame it on Israel but you're playing a music written by Sinwar.

Hamas exists because Israel chose to support them. They wouldn't be dealing with Sinwar had they not deliberately sabotaged the PLO, so of course we're in this scenario now! You can't get angry at the natural response to subverting democracy, same thing happened after the Iran 1953 coup.

The only way to legitimize terrorism worldwide is to let Israel persist unpunished. Precision-striking civilians cannot be the basis for future conflict: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_...

The link listing journalists killed by Israel is crazy. Some recent examples:

> Killed when Israeli forces struck a tent sheltering Palestinians.

> Killed by an Israeli airstrike on his home.

> Killed by drone fire while collecting water near the Hamad Towers in Khan Yunis.

> Killed along with her husband and children after Israeli forces shelled a residential apartment.

> Shot by Israeli forces.

> Killed in her home by an Israeli airstrike along with her two brothers.

> Killed by an Israeli helicopter strike, along with three of his relatives.

> Killed in an Israeli airstrike along with her husband and four of their children. She was also pregnant at the time of her death.

They are rewarding and encouraging terrorism by doing this at this very moment.

Do it before October 7th and that's another subject. Do it after Hamas has surrendered and that's also another subject.

They chose to do it precisely now, giving Hamas the victory they desired.
