They arent giving up until theyve achieved their military objectives which is to either destroy Hamas entirely or diminish them to the degree that theyre no longer a security threat to Israel.
Our $$ funds a massive Israeli intelligence operation that we cant replicate in the region. Were definitely not stopping funding for our eyes on the ground in the ME.
Israel has been treated as a pariah state since it was born. They truly dont give a shit what the world thinks of them or their actions. So what if human rights paragon Syria 😒 calls for yet another UN resolution. Aint gonna matter except for naive pro-Pal supporters.
Call for Hamas to surrender. Call for Joe Biden to condition all future aid on Netanyahus resignation. Theres a lot more effective ways to actually make a difference than calling for an Israeli ceasefire which is never gonna happen until Hamas is finished and hostages (or their remains) are returned
