The Israeli leader signaled Sunday he would only agree to a "partial" cease-fire in Gaza, drawing criticism from hostage families that he had walked back from a U.S.-supported deal.
I’m vehemently anti-Hamas. Very pro-Palestine. Hamas is a cancer to Palestine.
Israel is America’s closest ally in the region, and an important factor in maintaining our global influence. I don’t agree with their tactics, but I understand why our leadership will never turn their backs on them
There’s this thing called nuance, and you need to understand that the world is far more complicated than just “stop fighting”
Has that had any effect? Has international pressure ever had any effect on Israel?
Again, you might HOPE and WISH that the US will put immense pressure on Israel, but like I stated before, we won’t. There are reasons why our leadership will continue to back them.
So while maybe we can all agree that it would be the best possible scenario, hoping and wishing is far from reality in this situation. Given the facts of reality, the only way this war ends is by Hamas surrendering and returning the hostages
And then the occupation continues. How does that solve anything? There will be another resistance group, of course. Israel already was a pain in the ass for Palestinians before October 7th. They don’t see going back to that situation as meaningful progress.
Nothing about your stance is pragmatic. It doesn’t even make logical sense. It’s cowardice to give in and the rest of the world can go back to ignoring suffering of the Palestinians. Israel is genociding Palestinians and you’re here blaming Hamas??
I’m not ignoring the suffering of Palestinians - the only way anything can progress however is the complete surrender of Hamas. Israel will just continue the killing until then. Why do you think they’ll suddenly stop without a complete surrender?
Is that what Genocide looks like? I think it’s fair to say that their military tactics in Gaza are extreme, we can agree there. But I would also say that dropping bombs on Gaza is a direct result of Hamas’ actions and existence. Hamas cares as little about Palestinians as Israel (actually less I would argue). They have no interest in diplomacy or a two state solution, they’re only interested in the complete destruction of Israel
Why would they allow almost 2 million Palestinians to live in their country if they wanted them all dead? You’re in denial that civilians are killed during wars

lol All you’ve done is defend Israel here
“it’s simple, Hamas just has to surrender” is not a peace plan
That’s the only way this war ends. I’m just being realistic, not emotional
What about national and international pressure on the Netanyahu government?

How many Palestinians live in Israel?
“Approximately 1.8 million Palestinians form around 20.8 per cent of Israel’s population.” Source: https://minorityrights.org/communities/palestinians/

Now you’re at genocide denial. I’m done. Fuck that
