Hamas strike on Israel

. The current Israeli government pulled out of the previous ceasefire deal. Of course due to your hypocrisy and bias you continue to ignore that despite it being pointed out to you repeatedly. This is why it's important to challenge you everytime you decide to be one eyed and afford agency to one side only. If you weren't such a nauseating hypocrite you would criticise both sides for a deal not being reached .

For anyone who needs refreshing. The Arabs wanted the UN to follow their own charter on the right to self-determination for Mandatory Palestine, but the UN would not do so and the Arabs refused to engage with the UN as a result.

You mean the Palestinians wanted hegemony over all of Palestine and modern Israel… yeah that was never going to work. A stupid grave error they made. Perfectly sums up my point that they constantly make bad decisions.

The question should not be why the Arabs chose to ignore the UN, but why the UN ignored their own charter in refusing the people of Palestine the right of self-determination?

Ethnic tensions between Jews and Arabs were ongoing for decades before this. Surely you know this? They were correct to partition Palestine. It won't be the first and last time land was partitioned due to sectarian or religious tensions.

Even to this day, western powers could solve this crisis,

Really? Could they solve the ethnic tensions that have been present in the region for thousands of years? I fear you think far too much of the power of the West to solve these issues. Its so easy to blame 'da West' for every ill of the world. Its just lazy.

I think more people here I tired of Israel's rubbish.

Like those 28 countries that recently came out against them.

But its good that even their most ardent defenders cant even muster good arguments to defend their actions anymore.

Not at all. Word on the street is that even the Israeli cabinet is ready to put the war to bed. The IDF Generals are making it known that they are done, and the majority of the Israeli people want it to end as well.

This WILL end, it will be sudden. But it would end sooner if Hamas gave up the hostages.

What about the 630,000 Jews that lived in the region circa 1948?

Should we have shipped them off to Alaska as well?

These wars are caused by people who refuse to recognise that Israel has a right to exist and won't be going anywhere. The likes of Hamas are slow learners. They constantly attack Israel, then complain of the repercussions.

Also, it's very naive to think the ME would be at peace if there were no Israel. Just look at the history of the region over the past few decades to see that violence and sectarianism are rife and part of day-to-day life for many. Millions have died in the region involving conflicts that have nothing to do with the West or Israel.

Just this week, you have had 1,000 people killed in Syria over Sectarian tensions.

The Ethiopian Famine was certainly given extensive coverage in the West. It was this that led directly to Live Aid, especially Michael Buerk's reports on the BBC.

Hamas were demanding that Israel holds no buffer zone, that Hamas are not removed from power, immediate withdrawal of IDF forces.

It was completely unacceptable.

Hamas can just say tonight that they are releasing all hostages, disbanding and dumping all arms and just leave it at that.

Hamas invaded, they lost.

So it is time for them to accept it, if the Gazans don't then that's on them, **** em.

There you are again conflating all Gazans as Hamas . Well at least you have dropped the pretense by uttering your callous disregard for civilians with your expletive. How is wanting an occupying army to retreat back to its borders an unacceptable demand? Hamas previously said they were prepared to hand over power. However if they are insisting on holding to power that is unacceptable but if your source is Israeli radar for that I remain skeptical.

By the way since you you don't like people invading others and trying to occupy their lands. You should be calling for Israeli settlers attack on Palestinians to stop and for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank.

The son of a Hamas founder, calling out the lickspittles in the West who have helped keep the war going.

This has to end now.

Israel have stated their war goals and releasing the hostages isn't even top of the list.

Destroying Hamas is top. So even if the hostages were released, they would still not have completed their war goals.

The only hope would be if the hostages were released then Bibi might bow to public pressure. But that's unlikely whilst the far right were in government. The far right would withdraw, the government would collapse and Bibi would face the criminal charges.

How, exactly, are Israel forced to keep going?

What threat are Hamas to Israel now? You have said yourself they are defeated

How have all other hostages been released - was it through violence or diplomacy?

Quoting a known Islamaphobe and hate-monger, takes one to know one right? 😉
