I just can't see Hamas allowing this to happen Torchlight Jan 2024 #4

The fact that Israel is creating terms to stop the "fighting" essentially means ColinC Jan 2024 #6

This is ON Fucking HAMAS.. REALEASE the HOSTAGES!! Cha Jan 2024 #8

They seem to be looking for a "ceasefire" where Hamas kills Jews with impunity, but Israel is prohibited from responding tritsofme Jan 2024 #11

It's Sickening. Cha Jan 2024 #13

Killing with impunity IS sickening ColinC Jan 2024 #16

"HAMAS EXISTS TO KILL All The Jews". Cha Jan 2024 #82

Who's killing who with impunity exactly? Israel has killed over 25,000 ColinC Jan 2024 #15

It's a war Arazi Jan 2024 #17

it is at best unjustified asymmetrical warfare where the vast majority of deaths are civilians. ColinC Jan 2024 #21

Israel was fully justified in responding to a massive terrorist attack Arazi Jan 2024 #26

And why does Hamas exist? Because Israel worked for years to keep them in power ColinC Jan 2024 #31

Hamas has received BILLIONS in foreign aid Arazi Jan 2024 #34

Regardless, Israel and Hamas both don't mind what is happening. ColinC Jan 2024 #37

That's fucked up equating the two Arazi Jan 2024 #43

So what's the plan? 25,000 civilians are dead and Hamas is still kicking. ColinC Jan 2024 #48

I guess we'll find out Arazi Jan 2024 #54

It's weird. ColinC Jan 2024 #58

Newsflash! Netanyahu is Israel's PM Arazi Jan 2024 #62

There are not 25,000 civilians dead. madaboutharry Jan 2024 #61

Did you even read the article you cited? Beastly Boy Jan 2024 #65

So it's ok to kill civilians with impunity if 'it's a war'? Voltaire2 Jan 2024 #95

I don't understand that reasoning. AloeVera Jan 2024 #60

Hamas did not kill with impunity? MarineCombatEngineer Jan 2024 #81

If Hamas kills all of the hostages, how many more dead civilians will it take to adequately "respond" ColinC Jan 2024 #44

As many as it takes for Israel to feel secure Arazi Jan 2024 #49

I'm not in the IDF Arazi Jan 2024 #77

So what's your solution TexasDem69 Jan 2024 #50

My solution is to attack Hamas, not civilians. Killing civilians is not doing anything but empowering Hamas ColinC Jan 2024 #74

Ok, two thumbs up. But how does Israel do that TexasDem69 Jan 2024 #75

Establish good faith with the Palestinians and start honoring the treaties it broke would be a good start ColinC Jan 2024 #76

Which treaties did it break? TexasDem69 Jan 2024 #78

The Palestinian Authority is a nonstarter Arazi Jan 2024 #79

Why should Arab states take Israel's refugees? David__77 Jan 2024 #27

At the moment, to get them out of a battle zone and save their lives Arazi Jan 2024 #28

They are Israel's refugees, absolutely. Just as is everyone in West Banka and East Jerusalem. David__77 Jan 2024 #29

Nope, Hamas' refugees and Hamas' war Arazi Jan 2024 #32

I am glad that Biden's administration has made strong statements against depopulation plans. David__77 Jan 2024 #33

Why Should Any Country Take In Refugees, Sir? The Magistrate Jan 2024 #45

If there was assurance that people would have right of return, perhaps the consideration would be different. David__77 Jan 2024 #52
