President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Hamas “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza.
The grim warning from Trump came after he previously downplayed the internal violence in the territory since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week in the two-year war.
Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas.
“It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily,

Trump worked hard for a peace deal , everybody celebrated, but it appears that it is already in trouble. Why? Because rabid animals do not have minds, their minds are eaten by the killing disease and all they what to do is go around foaming at the mouth to kill. Killing for the very act and pleasure they get out of it.

I would suggest that Hamas listen to Don "The Hammer" Trump (He fits Charles Martel's nickname). You could ask the narco boat smugglers or Iran's nuke scientists except for the fact that they are dead.

This is another clear example of the story Trump liked to tell at his rallies - the woman who took in the half-frozen snake, ending in her being bitten by it. Punchline "You knew what I was when you took me in!".
Hamas is going to Hamas, and will not stop until stopped by external force. The collateral damage was tragic in Gaza, but it's not going to end until Hamas is exterminated. They will never "lay down their arms". We know what they are, and needn't be surprised when they do what they are purpose-built to do.

How do you distinguish hamas from Joe average Gazan. Or are they one and the same.

#4, the answer to your question is this, you make "Joe Average Gazan" more afraid of you THINKING that he is Hamas than he is afraid of Hamas. Ultimately, you win wars when you convince the "civilians: to be more afraid of being your enemy than they are of your enemy.

They were always going to have to be killed. Trump, Netanyahu and anyone else with reasoning capability knows this. They can't help themselves anymore than the monkey at the zoo can stop self-manipulation. They can't change who they are.

We will never understand this situation. Hamas has historically had the support of more than 70% of the Gazans. There is no way to "kill Hamas" without killing almost all of Gaza. This scenario we are seeing should have been foreseen by our leaders. There are no easy solutions short of packing up ALL the Gazans and shipping them far far away. For the moment, I would say at least explosively destroy the ENTIRE tunnel system and blockade Gaza completely. Airdrop food and medicines regularly. Let them stew in their own hate, just as they have done for the last nearly 80 years. When kids are TRAINED to hate by the age of 2, there is no fixing them. This problem can't be solved until the hate is stopped, but I don't see that happening. Our cosmetic efforts will actually make the problem worse.

He just needs to put a bounty on each and every one of them....that would work wonders...and as far as peace goes, there will never be peace between Jews and Muslims...it just doesn't work..they may talk the talk but they don't walk the walk, they just re-arm and come back...like a STD....

Hamas better believe it. President Trump is %100 when it comes to following through on what he says.

Flood the tunnels with water and/or poison gas. That will force the vermin to the surface. If you want to do it humanely, use fleas or fire ants.

A number of world leaders witnessed and supported the signing of this agreement between Israel and Hamas. Since Hamas has flagrantly broken the agreement, a neutral international force should step in and enforce its terms.

I stick by my first and steady recommendation.
Kill all Hamas.
Take no prisoners.

Hamas is losing power in Gaza. That's why Hamas is killing Gazans. There was a story the other day that other groups in Gaza are moving against them. Trump and Israel are not giving Hamas any slack. They want Hamas out.

FTA: " President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Hamas “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza...Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas. “It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to."
Translation: Unlike the territorial security guarantee Trump gave Qatar's Islamic monarchy, backed by the threat of U.S. military force, he will release the hold he had placed on Netanyahu and the IDF to get the 'peace deal' done.

How about dropping bee hives and wasp nests into the tunnels? Only those exiting without arms will not be shot on sight.

Hamas has been boxed in by Trump and Bibi.
They must lay down their arms or they are in violation of the agreement.
If they violate the agreement, other Arab countries will align against them and help end Hamas once and for all. The pro-Hamas crowd will be told that Hams had a chance and rejected it.
In the chess game that is Gaza, Trump has Hamas checkmated.

Mr. President, I'd start with Khalil Al Hayya, hamas' supposed leader and go from there.

Now that the hostages have been returned, there’s no reason not to turn Gaza into a pile of rubble.

(Too bad almost no one will read this posting so far down the stack...)
The Gazans (and Pallies in general) need to be relocated to somewhere so hostile that they will spend all of their time snd energy working to survive instead of engaging in terrorism. Like inner Antarctica. Or Mars
