Hamas ‘cannot continue' to govern in Gaza

Sky News AUa day ago
Shadow Cabinet Secretary Andrew Wallace says Hamas cannot be allowed to 'stay in power' as the ruling body of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel plans to take full military control of Gaza despite growing criticism at home and abroad over the nearly two-year war in the territory.
'I don't think that anybody wants that; the Palestinians don't want that, the only people who want that is Hamas itself,' Mr Wallace told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.
'Western countries across the world have been clear that we cannot see a situation where Hamas have the ability to continue to govern in Gaza.'

The end of men? We need to put an end to that

A decade seems to be about the time it takes society from being warned about a coming trend to recognising that 10 years ago would have been the ideal time to act. On Friday, more than a decade after the publication of her book The End of Men in 2012, Hanna Rosin will be the keynote speaker at the annual Women in Media national conference. The decision to offer her the stage marks an important turning point in gender politics. The End of Men – subtitled And the Rise of Women – diagnosed a trend that was becoming quite clear. In Western post-industrial economies, many men were losing their jobs, as well as their sense of self and purpose. Meanwhile, the new jobs created by economic change were in healthcare, education and office work – roles that require less physical strength and more communication and social intelligence, in which women typically outperform men. Rosin used the terms 'Plastic Women' and 'Cardboard Men' to describe the way women were able to easily adapt to the new roles being created, while men were stuck with a rigid and outdated concept of masculinity. Unable to find a place in the new, less physical jobs market, men were becoming increasingly sidelined. Meanwhile, women were thriving in the new roles, and choosing to live without the encumbrance of a man who contributed neither domestically nor economically. The reaction to Rosin's book was swift and defensive when it was first published. Rosin told The Guardian at the time that 'feminists don't like the argument because they say it makes it seem as though women have totally won and there isn't anything more to worry about, even though I actually don't feel that way at all'. It turns out that the author and journalist was just ahead of her time in recognising what she calls 'a separate stream of history' trending in the wrong direction. 'I saw a large swath of men falling behind in society,' she tells me on a call in advance of her visit to Australia. 'The economy is shifting, and they're not adapting or catching up. One of two things could happen. Gender roles could become more flexible for these men, or all hell breaks loose. And guess what happened?' What happened is that the world went on its merry way, righteously and rightfully crusading against the poor behaviour of men who had exploited patriarchal structures, and forgetting about the little boys who'd done none of it. Masculinity was categorically branded toxic. Female columnists were sickened and paralysed with fear when they found themselves pregnant with boys. Unsurprisingly, this environment only increased male alienation. A tide of male anger and distress swept the US and seeped out into other post-industrial countries through the social media manosphere. Boys and young men looking for a positive sense of self found Andrew Tate instead.
