I don’t catch your point. I don’t even know what you were trying to say so I can’t say what I don’t understand. This seems to be a list of unrelated facts.

Basically title, every country with veto status has at one point voted for India to receive veto power. It makes sense to, as one of the most populous countries on the planet with a considerable surface area and nuclear weaponry it has economic and social sway and with an extremely competent space program and quickly developing economy as incentive to be on their good side in the next few decades, you’d think especially china and Russia would be in a rush to push for Indian power on the international front. Instead what we see is all 5 countries with veto power rotating who hates India this week to push for Indian legislation in their favour. This seems extremely short sighted to me but I’m not stupid enough to assume there isn’t some underlying reasoning. My first thought is simply Not-My-Problem-ism Basically it’s the next guys fault if in 50 years india starts divvying up Eastern Asia but right now my boss will be really happy with a big arms deal. That would be an explanation for the short sightedness but I write here to get a different perspective. I’m from North America btw in case my ignorance is showing -Demosthenes

You’re assuming that the people with authority to release hostages would lose authority if Hamas was disbanded. If the release of hostages lead to an independent Palestine then the officers who lead successful military operations will all be taken in for the army Palestine will construct. Obviously any treaty Isreal writes up will include limitations of their military but international pressure will force them to allow some defensive military. No one who has any amount of authority in Hamas is under the impression that the unconditional release of hostages will lead to an independent Palestine and that’s why it has not happened. However, Isreal as an established government does have people in high places who would appreciate the high military budget aswell as munitions provided by America and others. They refuse to sign a ceasefire with the condition of the liberation of any and all hostages. This pact would result in the released hostages but has three major problems. 1. Bending to a group you’ve designed as terrorists is a bad move on the world stage for anyone. 2. Hostages justify a prolonged conflict, which Isreali officers will financially profit from. And last but not least 3. If hamas gives up a military advantage which ends up saving civilians with the clear goal to creat a peaceful solution, they seam much more reasonable. If the populous decides that Isreal is being an unreasonable aggressor then countries will begin to lose confidence in their backing. Right now America especially is holding up this conflict. If politicians can no longer sustainably defend Isreal then they lose most of their current advantage. -Demosthenes
