The majority of the senior Taliban leadership fled Afghanistan. The rank-and-file fighters remained in the country and went underground until the resurgence.Maybe not completely but the majority of Taliban retreated over international borders (namely Pakistan) where they prepared to stage their retake of Afghanistan.
The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians isn't about religion. It's about land rights and decades of injustices that have been committed against the Palestinian people. If radical Islam was the root cause of the conflict, how do you explain Arab Christians being at the forefront of the Palestinian nationalist movement? How do you explain secular terrorist groups like the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, two of which were founded by Christians, and all at some point being led by Christians? Each of these groups have both Muslims and Christians among their ranks and have been fighting against Israel and launching terrorist attacks against them for decades and continue to do so today.It's a symptom of radical Islam, which is hard to address because...
1. People don't want to blame radical Islam for anything because it makes them a target of terrorism.
2. There's little difference between fundamentalist Islam and radical Islam.
Israel respecting a Palestinian state and improving the lives of the Palestinian people should have been done long before the October 7th terrorist attack against Israel and is long overdue. If a Palestinian state is established at some point in the future, it won't be because of Hamas; it will be because it's the correct action to take.Quite possibly the worst suggestion I've ever seen on this forum...
This can be done by Israel recognizing and respecting a Palestinian state and improving the lives of the Palestinian people.
Your response to the murder and kidnapping of deliberately targeted civilians is capitulation and submission....
This would only emboldened Hamas and increase their support amongst Palestinians.
Once again, Hamas is a symptom, and the root cause of the conflict revolves around land rights and decades of injustices that have been committed against the Palestinian people.The root cause of the conflict is Hamas. It's being addressed.
ISIS still has a presence in Iraq and Syria and has remained the world’s deadliest terrorist group each year for the past nine years, with tens of thousands of members globally. ISIS and its affiliates haven't gone anywhere, and they have no problems recruiting new members.ISIS went from a multinational powerhouse to a handful of disparate terrorists controlling little to nothing because we bombed them and destroyed all their supporters until it became an extremely unattractive group to join.
