What about freeing the hostages?

Is there going to be some sort of exchange?

Hopefully they can solve the hostage situation diplomatically.

Not trying to tell you how to run the board or anything of that nature, but I would like to make a suggestion for this thread.

I would like to suggest that it be split into two threads. The first thread would be for discussion on this particular escalation based on what is happening on the ground. The second thread would be for those who want to discuss the deeper issue of Palestine/Hamas et al vs Israel.

People burned alive, children and babies decapitated, pregnant mothers having their fetuses removed from their stomach. And EVEN then there are Hamas terrorists being treated in Israeli hospitals. Wonder what would occur if the roles were reversed.

The world got a slight look at what happens when Israel lets its guard down, a complete genocide would occur if Israel lost any war in the past and in the future. Whether its fighting the PLO, Fatah or Hamas. The loss of war for Israel has always meant complete genocide. But there are posters here who still believe Israel should become one state where this inevitably of genocide would of course happen. Always been a laughable solution

I don't think any evidence has been presented that shows any of these atrocities happening. But even if we are to accept that this is true, what is your solution?

Enough with the rage and lay it out. After fighting stops, and all parties are at the table. What is the solution to all this?

There is nothing I will say now that will be productive to a conversation so I will leave this thread without side tracking it. Hope for peace as always

No solution when dealing with a society full of religious fundamentalists. Good day to you too.

Of course there's rage, we haven't seen this type of barbarism since ISIS or the Japanese invading China so the solution is likely on par of what happened to them.

What's your solution?

You can't say these atrocities aren't real in one breath and then ask the person you're accusing of using made up information to give you solutions to stopping them in the other and expect a response.


I get both sides of the argument are being ass hats in this conversation but if you feel someone isn't arguing from a legitimate position, just ignore them. If you are a looking for a legitimate response, don't rage bait first.

I don't disagree with you about needing evidence for some of the claims. Any time I hear "dead babies", it reminds me of Kuwait and the shenanigans there. Being suspicious of outrageous claims isn't bad, nor would I put it past either Palestinians or Israelis to manufacture or exaggerate claims, so always question.

Having said that, there is a lot of footage out there which shows atrocities committed that would be considered war crimes. There is no military or strategic reason to take the time to slaughter a disabled senior citizen and post it to the family's Facebook, or kill a child in front of a family after they already surrendered and were taken hostage, or bash in the head of a foreign worker from Thailand and posting the video. Whether the babies thing is true, there are enough other things that happened that it makes me think it is quite possible.
