1. So we can finally stop murdering children?

Yay!

It worked!

[Mossfern]

2. No it didn't

Palestinians have suffered immeasurably because of the actions of Hamas.

[clevergrrrl]

3. The actions of Israel

you mean

[Mossfern]

4. Remember October 7th?

What would you suppose Israel's response should have been to October 7th?
Did Netanyahu go way overboard? Yes he did. As a matter of fact the actions of Hamas have helped keep Netanyahu out of jail.

[clevergrrrl]

7. The most human response

Would be to NOT kill innocent men, women and children. But that's just me.

[Mossfern]

8. I really don't want to litigate that in this thread

It's fine what you believe is inappropriate - but what would have been appropriate?

If you're dealing with urban warfare, there will be civilian casualties.
Hamas chose the battlefield by fighting from civilian areas in crowded cities.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

10. Do you think they might have gone a little above and beyond a response to Oct 7?

How about a fucking lot? Stop defending what that genocidal ass is doing by bringing up Oct 7. We are WAY past that at this point.

[Mossfern]

14. I have NEVER defended Netanyahu or his actions.

Ever - from way before October 7th.
Do not accuse me of doing that.
You can disagree with me - that's fine.
Try to be civil about it.

I ask you:
What do you think the appropriate response from Israel after ( forbidden to mention.)

Hamas cold have agreed to free the hostages almost two years ago - so many innocents would still be alive or unharmed.
What did Hamas accomplish? Who suffered the most due to their actions? No matter how much you hate Israel, it was Hamas's actions that spurred this war.

18. "What did Hamas accomplish?"

I am not sure how Hamas thought this would go any other way. Must have been smoking some good shit.

I assume their fantasy was that Hezbollah & Iran would jump in, and then the neighboring countries like in '48, '56, '67 & '73, but I think the neighbors learned to mind their own business and want no part of the IDF.

People seemed to forget the US suffered around 2,000 military casualties on Dec 7th and then killed 2.6 to 3.1 million Japanese until they unconditionally surrendered.

5. Even if Trump gets 'credit' for something I'm sure he wrote exactly ZERO words of

I have to say, if this happens, AND the destruction of Gaza ceases and blockades are removed and people are fed and medically attended to, that's obviously more important than our domestic politics.

You know he'll try to take all the credit, even though most likely Gaza was simply bombed and destroyed into submission.

6. Trump can just taste that Peace Prize!

[Prairie Gates]

9. It's a good deal for them if they don't have to disarm

They get a lot of hostages back themselves. Oh, sorry. "Prisoners."

[Phoenix61]

11. If Israel stops bombing and that's a big if.

I’m sure Nety will get right on that.

[Prairie Gates]

13. Like last time, Hamas will come out to return hostages

and will look clean as hell and well armed and the IDF and the psychotic Israeli ministers will have a temper tantrum about it and start bombing again. They want to ethnically cleanse the area. They don't want peace.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. I'll believe it when I see it. Betting this is smoke and mirrors.

Just like Israel’s sincerity about protecting civilians.

[Arazi]

15. Hamas will have to agree to all of the conditions

Which they won’t. .

Israel will then feel itself unleashed (more than it has been already)

[Mossfern]

16. Again

What do you think Israel should do?

BTW, I do not advocate that Israel try to decimate Gaza.
Do you think they should just give up on trying to rescue the living hostages and obtaining the remains of those that were killed?
What about Israel's truce agreement do you think is unreasonable? If so, which part is unreasonable?

[Arazi]

17. I'm not disagreeing with you at all. Just trying to inject some reality to those who think there's been a breakthrough

Israel will demand that Hamas agreed to all the terms. And justifiably so.

Hamas will never disarm therefore this deal is DOA imo over that sticking point alone

[AloeVera]

19. Yes, I'm afraid so too. Exactly.

Horrifying.
