What will happen to after-Gaza War? - True feelings and nature of the stakeholders(3)

 

What it will be? Post-war Palestine administration

There is no doubt that Israel, with its overwhelming military power, will win the Gaza war. However, Hamas will never declare its defeat. Israel has made it clear that it will not directly rule Gaza after the war. Everyone know that direct rule by Israel will be very risky. This war has brought anti-Israel sentiment among Gaza residents to the boil. It will likely result in a new urban guerrilla movement by Hamas remnants or radicalized youth. Iran and Syria will support them in terms of weapons. Neighboring Arab countries will support them economically. The Gulf Arab states, fearing Israeli retaliation, have no intention of sending volunteer soldiers and instead focus on providing aids and donations. This would be atonement or indulgence for the Palestinians in the rich Gulf countries.

 

After the war, the administration of Palestine will look exactly the same as it did before the war. Palestinians will experience ``prison without a ceiling'' harsher than before the war. Their life will be completely deprived of freedom in the minimum environment necessary for survival. The scenery you can watch is exactly like a concentration camp during the Nazi era. The only difference is that there are no gas chambers. Racism (apartheid) against Palestinians takes on an even harsher aspect. There will be boiling anger and despair than ever in the hearts of Palestinians.

 

Is there any hope for Palestinians in Gaza? Within the next few decades, there will be no bright prospects for them. The only thing I can say is that history moves on a 100-year or 1000-year span. It is difficult to imagine that the Jews will continue to prosper forever and meet the end of this world as a monotheistic ``promised people.''

 

Palestinian Arabs are also monotheistic Muslims. As the same monotheist, both Jews and Arabs should be saved in the same way at the end of the world. (Conversely, monotheists may say that all humans other than them, such as polytheistic Hindus, Buddhists and communist will experience the torments of hell at the end of this world.)

 

But everything is subject to change. Pride goes before a fall. The life is limited. Today's "good" may change "bad" tomorrow. There is no absolute in the world.

 

The readers will dissatisfy that the conclusion is too irresponsible and dark. It may offend readers. I, however, want to avoid the self-absorption of liberalists who easily expect peace.
