Good to see Netanyahu really leaning into the whole evil villain arc. Easily showing they have been able to solve this diplomatically but are waiting to end the violence and save lives so they can fucking curry favor with Trump. If you can't see the evil in that I HIGHLY question your commitment to faith or any kind of morals. They are literally playing with the lives of thousands like they are rag dolls.
Question how many times has peace talks or diplomatic efforts been pressed to try to peacefully find a solution for this issue.
Israel had a negotiated peace deal with the PLO and Arafat. Where did that go?
Out of the Olso accords Israel gave back and relocated several Jewish settlements out if the West Bank and all of Gaza. In some cases the IDF had to move settlers out.
So Israel has negotiated and has made material concessions at the expense of Israelis citizens.
What good has it done them? What good did it do Israel continually raising work permits for Palestinians while neighbors Muslim nations eventually refused them.
As far as I can see, none.
After Oct 7th israel went to war. That’s pretty self-evident. This was more than the Palestinians expected. They expected Israeli reprisals and what the got was full scale war. Israel isn’t fighting to bloody their nose, there fighting to defeat them.
Shit happens it’s horrible for the non-combatants.
But as a group for the Palestinians as a whole and Israel’s response to basically declare full scale war. I’m not moved at all. Has there been any contrition from Hamas leaders while they have hid like expats in other Islamic nations? Nope.
The Palestinians were sold a bill of goods in the fifties that all of what is Israel should be the nation of Palestinian. That’s why we still hear the chant from the river to the sea.
Sometimes an adversary must be defeated, not just repelled.
