I can't escape the thought that a return to the pre-oct 7 status quo, except with a flattened Gaza and 60000 dead civilians, isn't really possible. We're going to keep seeing this tense back and forth until the international community loses interest, and then the slaughter will start back up again for real.

Now the US is warning of an attack by Hamas against civilians in Gaza. Hopefully a false alarm.

Some of the Palestinian prisoners Israel released were actually in prison for killing Muslims and Arabs that they saw as being to friendly or collaborative with Israel. Yahya Sinwar himself, who led Gazans into this war to begin with was known as The Butcher of Khan Younis killed many Gazan civilians and yet was very popular in Gaza. Just like how democratic ideals are instilled in the culture and identity of some societies, so is violence and retribution in others. That isn't going to change just because this war ends. You can literally go back centuries in that region, before the creation of the modern state of Israel, and see the same thing over and over.

That's all well and good of them but begs the question why there were no warnings from them when Israel was attacking and murdering the civilians of Gaza.

Deliberate murder of civilians is an act of terrorism regardless who is carrying it out. Wouldn't you agree?
