Hamas’s huge mistake

WATCH: “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman and guest Iddo Netanyahu

The atrocities perpetrated by Hamas in southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7, 2023, didn’t just murder civilians. It obliterated the last vestiges of Israeli public support for a Palestinian state.

Former senior Israeli government official Danny Seaman is joined in this episode by Iddo Netanyahu—a physician, author and playwright, and the younger brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—to discuss how the events of Oct. 7 triggered a revolution in Israeli consciousness.

Once a widely debated political solution, the idea of a two-state agreement is now viewed by most Israelis as a security threat—no longer a path to peace but a road to destruction. Backed by recent polls showing more than 87% of Jewish Israelis rejecting the two-state concept, Seaman argues that the illusion of peace through concessions has been permanently shattered.

This episode deconstructs how decades of deception following the Oslo Accords, combined with growing support among Palestinians for Hamas’s ideology, have exposed the true intentions behind the so-called peace process. Seaman also addresses Western complicity—from European governments who never held the Palestinian Authority accountable to global elites now pushing renewed statehood efforts even in the wake of mass terror.

Also covered:

  • The role of Palestinian public opinion in collapsing trust
  • How Hamas’s brutality unified Israeli society across ideological lines
  • Why Israel’s future security posture must be based on strength, not delusion
