On November 27, Elon Musk, the world's richest man, visited Israel, but the destination was not a bustling city, but a small community in Israel - kibbutz. This community experienced a Hamas attack on 7 October, resulting in a large number of civilians**. Given the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Musk's itinerary was limited to this small community to ensure safety.
Lao Ma's multiple identities and busy business schedule make people wonder why he is involved in the political-military muddy waters of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Businessmen's involvement in politics is often a concern, but Musk's motivation may have more to do with business interests. In the imagination of ordinary people, the United States seems to be manipulated by Jews, and Musk's visit to Israel may be to make clear his proximity to Jews.
A large number of pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic remarks have emerged on Musk's X platform, which has aroused the disgust of some Jewish business tycoons. In order to protect the commercial interests of the platform, they have stopped advertising on the X platform, causing Musk to have to look for new business opportunities. The purpose of this visit to Israel is likely to attract large conglomerates and enterprises with Jewish backgrounds to advertise on platform X, so as to increase revenue.
After visiting the kibbutz, Musk fully agreed with Netanyahu's views. He believes that if Hamas is to be allowed for Gazans to live a safe, peaceful and good life, Hamas must be eradicated, because there is no alternative. This position shows that Musk believes that Hamas is the real culprit that has caused the situation in Gaza to deteriorate.
For civilians, Musk's opinion is even more straightforward. "I was very shocked to see the big **scene or one of the scenes, and then to see more short films of innocent people being killed, which is disturbing," he said in the interview. He strongly condemned those who gleefully killed civilians. This outspoken stance has given more respect to Musk's opinions.
Civilians in Gaza are undoubtedly a harrowing issue, but the key difference is that Israel has tried to avoid harming civilians, even taking measures such as notifications, leaflet drops, and safe passages. Hamas, by contrast, has chosen to target civilians and take pleasure in it. The global public should realize that the key to eradicating these egregious practices once and for all lies in the origins of those who have been trained to become extremists.
After the Second World War, Germany realized that hatred was not conducive to development. Similarly, it is time to recognize that the elimination of extremists and the cessation of propaganda about the harm of civilians are prerequisites for peace and prosperity.
