        Come on… You compared Hamas with a hydra, not me. All my previous comments are pretty much signalizing that the hydra comparison is bad, because there is a chance to beat Hamas and solve the problem.

        Just because you make that comparison does not make it a fact that trying to get rid of Hamas results in a new extremist organization.

        Either we talk about the conflict between Hamas and Israel or about Greek mythology… 😉

          Do you understand I’m talking about fighting extremism and not a lady with snakes for hair? The Hydra effect is a problem in counter extremism.

          I am now completely convinced you don’t undertand what the Hydra effect is at all. Maybe I wasn’t clear, sorry about that…I suggest this excellent video from the Lines on Maps guy.. He is more qualified to talk about this.

          The Hydra effect basically means that for every fighter you kill, two new ones will emerge. Killing the whole family of a young man or women, where do you think that would lead them? That’s because the root cause (oppression of Palestinians) is never solved. In fact, Israel is now making it worse with genocide and ethnic cleansing.

          Causing violence, mayhem, and oppression is what brought Hamas about, and it’s what Israel is doing again to bring more Hamas-like factions about.
