It feels inadequate to consider anything hopeful without the immediate return of hostages because nobody should trust Netanyahu with an agenda like that. It’s practically a blank cheque to atrocity spending, and he’s going to write a number and cash it. No sane party should underestimate the problem taking hostages has created.
Didn’t they offer 2 hostages back to get the ball rolling and Netanyahu basically said shove it we don’t want them we’re going in to get them ourselves?
Edit: source
According to Hamas, I haven’t seen any verification about that yet. There’s enough bad stuff going on without the need for potential misinformation.
Dude, everything is potential misinformation
Source?
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.
The Muslim terrorist group behind spurring 4000 Arabs to invade Israel and make war of rape, slaughter, and fire upon Israeli citizens on October 7th, has caused “problems” you say
Meat grinder probability in the red sort of problems. It’s not just another day resisting the oppressors.
This is great but how will it be enacted. In response Israel cut all of Gaza’s communications and has been bombing all night. I am sick with worry
History shows this is the only ending, and will end nothing.
Once Israel decides they have done enough to kill Hamas leaders and destroy resources in retribution for the attack, murder, kidnapping of their citizens, they’ll accept the UN truce, and UN/US will bring in aid to Palestinians. Israel will build up the walls, and separation to try to prevent this from happening again, and Mossad will be more active hunting down Hamas. Meanwhile Palestinians will recover, remembering their losses, suffering under increased repression, and the cycle of desperation and violence starts again.
Then to expand the long bloody history of the area, assuming there is proof of Iranian involvement, no one wants a war, but we’ll likely see the odd bit of assassinations and exploding factories or ports
As always, the only winner is the defense industry
I wish. This time, it’s more likely Israel will refuse to listen, genocide occurs, war spills over in the region, sides are taken and voilà: WWIII.
To be honest I am too depressed so let’s hope your assessment will come to pass.
not really uplifting news to the people who are going to be exploded or have their families exploded regardless of this happening, would be uplifting if the UN could actually stop or slow down the ground invasion in any meaningful way, the atrocities committed in this invasion will be incomprehensible
I don’t want the invasion to stop.
This won’t get aid to the people as it will keep being stolen, won’t remove hamas from power so another attack will start it all over again, and I doubt many of the hostages are still even alive. It does nothing for the humanitarian side and just draws out the suffering.
Fuck the name on the piece of land - Palestine, Israel, US puppet, UN DMZ #123 - Hamas needs to go so aid can get to the right people.
This whole thing is a nightmare. What is anyone’s end goal here?
Hamas seemingly intended to draw Israel into a war. They hide behind citizens. But when Israel makes it crystal clear they will shred an arbitrary amount of citizens to get to Hamas --once that’s known and understood-- isn’t Hamas equally to blame for their deaths. They could have: 1 not escalated, 2 fight openly in uniform instead of cowardly hiding behind citizens.
Tactically, what they are doing makes sense if the goal is to win at a war, but to say so admits they were the first to put the Gaza civilians in danger by starting such a war.
Israel is the only party that can win a war. There can be so much more suffering if it carries on.
I also suspect this whole thing is either orchestrated or exasperated to try to draw Iran in, because Israel and the west would love an excuse to wipe Iran off the map before they get nukes.
So let me hear your opinions, how does this whole thing end? And for the sake of conversation let’s assume cease-fire is out, because I don’t pragmatically see that happening.

Yeah, we can do all sorts of speculation here. Is the west looking for an excise to teach Iran a lesson? Is Hamas directly connected to Iran? Is it just Iran meddling? Is Russia orchestrating this as a distraction? Is the West looking for an excuse to cut off Iran as an arms supplier to Russia?

You’re a bigoted genocidal cunt.
You really are awful.
Im not even entirely sure they had a point in all that - just throw out a pile of words into the void.
I think their general gist was that of pointlessness and helplessness. Not an unusual stance, but in this case the pressure of the UN can actually be a thing because of Israel’s position amongst UN cohorts. Even the US wouldn’t go down sucking dick if it meant damage of itself within the much more valuable and powerful UN.
Idk why this dude haven’t been banned by LM admin, always come in in bad faith.
