In reply to the discussion: Hamas says it won't take part in Gaza hostage-ceasefire deal talks [View all]

(4,229 posts)12. Well, this is just a TOTAL shock.
Who could have predicted THIS??
Netanyahu has practically performed cartwheels on one hand while standing on his head, in his efforts to sabotage a ceasefire while inflaming the entire region.
I thought the piece de resistance was killing off the "moderate" Hamas leader, leaving hardliner Sinwar in charge, but no, then Netty had to add new conditions AFTER Hamas had already accepted the framework.. then the massacre at the school...
Mission accomplished.
This guy and his supporters want the opposite of peace. Not just Gaza either.

I appreciate your olive branch, but not at the expense of accepting a faulty argument.

The global community rejects the far right Israeli governments' genocide against it's neighbours.

No one supports a genocidal regime, although those who support Hamas make me wonder

Yes you can accuse the far right Israeli government of genocide as they've been caught doing it.

Israel DIDN'T BREAK the last ceasefire. Resumption of hostilitiees is what happens when cease fires expire.

I am so naive. I keep reacting to this as if it is something that shouldn't be tolerated. So behind the times!

You seem to think that report you boldened supports your claims, but it doesn't.

I only have one claim: the cease fire you claim was violated, was not violated.

The truce expired on December 1. The shelling and killing began November 29 and 30.

There was no shelling reported. The circumstances of the shooting remain unclear.

My mistake. There were reports of killing without shelling, and reports of shelling without casualties.

The US delegation (among other Western democracies) has called out the UN for NOT being impartial.

Al Jazeera is funded in part by the Qatari government but is a largely independent news organization.

Perhaps you can't blame somebody who doesn't want to negotiate with people who have proven not to be reliable

Yep. . .Hamas is innocent and pure. Israel is evil. If they didn't exist, there'd be no problems.

Poor Hamas! The terrorist in charge of "negotiating" is dead, and his replacement is scared

They have already said their goal is to commit more terrorism and kill more Jews.

Perhaps Hamas is not participating because terrorist Haniyah is dead and terrorist Sinwar is hiding.

If you could just put aside your interest in Haniyeh's dress and grooming habits for a moment, and listen.
