Elon Musk: I recommend that Israel do conspicuous acts of kindness to the people in Gaza.

“There were really three things that were my strong recommendations visiting Israel. One is obviously that one has to get rid of Hamas fighters where reform is impossible. Their only goal is to kill Israelis. They ought to be either killed or imprisoned because otherwise they will simply kill more Israelis.

Then, the second thing is you've got to change the indoctrination in the schools so that kids are not taught to hate from the moment they are 2 years old.

And then the third thing is, which is a very hard thing to do in this situation, is conspicuous acts of kindness to the people in Gaza. It's just that much harder to hate someone if you do nice things for them. Even if they try to bite your hand when you do it, keep doing it.”
