The hypocrisy.

How dare you lump people in as one and the same.
Excuse me while I do just that.

And your takeaway was Jews are bad? I don't wish genocide, nor do any of my cousins. However, they want to be safe, and their government is going about doing that.

And just like that, Israel rejects the ceasefire proposal.

Looks like genocide is much more important to Netanyahu than the release of the captives.

Sure. Break it down for me.

Tell me how this deal will eliminate Hamas. Pro-tip, it won’t. All this will do is allow Hamas to re-arm, and do the same thing in a few years. When Hamas does it again, more Palestinian civilians will pay the price. Hamas is doing nothing unless it suits them, not the citizens it governs.

Best path forward for Palestinians is removal of Hamas.

Hamas rejected Israel's terms, and then Israel rejected Hamas' terms. It's not one sided by any means.

Shouldn't the goal for Israel be to live in peace and security, rather than the myopic idea that Hamas needs to be eliminated? Do you think what's happening in Gaza is going to lead to long term peace?

Create a political horizon for the Palestinians and they will have no reason to support Hamas.

How do you suggest this horizon is created while Hamas governs Gaza?

Sure, doesn’t really change the fact that multiple people here were peddling the lie that all Hamas would have to do is release the hostages for the bombing to stop.

If both sides can live in peace with each other, why does it matter to you who governs Gaza?

Oh man cmon you can’t be this obtuse

Even if we disregard the fact Israel left Gaza completely almost two decades ago, having an Iranian proxy militia operate on your door step is not conducive in creating long lasting peace.

Like c’mon, you are cool with Palestinians being govern by tyrannical religious fanatics? Even someone who is vehemently anti-Israel should be able to admit Hamas governing Palestinians is terrible for Palestinians and of course it does matter who governs. Like what are you even trying to argue here. Even if Hamas could sustain peace with Israel why would you want Palestinians to continue being governed by them?

That was never Israel's stated goal. Israel ongoingly states that they are not agreeing to a deal that pushes things back to the previous status quo.

Do you really believe Hamas wants to live in peace with Israel?

Second question, do you think Hamas should be eliminated?

Hamas attacked Israel, on command from Iran, with the specific goal of sabotaging a peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Hamas does not have the best interest of Palestinians in mind. They are dedicated to conflict with Israel.

Yes, I believe they can live in peace with Israel.

I don't care much for Hamas. I think there are better political parties out there in Palestine. Eliminated politically, as in become irrelevant due to having no need for them. Yes I'm all for it. Eliminated militarily, as in causing death and destruction and creating something worse than them, then no, I can't stand by that.

Are you OK with israel being governed by violent religious fanatics as they currently are? Do you stand by a military solution to eliminate Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Netanyahu, even if in the process a genocide is committed?

You are losing the plot man and moving the goal posts. Hamas needs to go. You are making yourself look bad these last 4 or so posts...

Yes, Hamas should be eliminated. No, you shouldn't commit genocide to do it.

I don't see how that's such a controversial statement.

Alright, carry on with another 200 pages of the same back and forth

I see no place for religious fanatics in government so no I am not ok with Gvir etc, but they do not make the majority of the government as much as you may be led to believe.

I mean sure I would be if there was an actual genocide taking place but there isn’t.

You cool with Hamas governing Palestinians even in peace with Israel? You cool with that? And if so why?

Did I say they don't need to go?

I'm trying to point to a better alternative than just kill as many Palestinian in the hopes that they either leave or die off.
