Everything I know about any topic in the news is from seeing it on TV (usually CNN) or reading about it on the Internet. I Googled "recent agreements that Israel has not kept." The site I listed above was one of those presented. I copied a couple of sentences out of the first paragraph. I could rephrase that with my own words, but what good would that do? My general belief from all I've read is what I said before. Both Palestine and Israel believe they should have ALL the land in this area. Neither of them seems to be willing to accept a two-state solution, so they are constantly at war with each other. Any ceasefires or agreements reached are soon violated by one or the other because the only solution they will accept is for one or the other of them to be completely driven out. I predict this ceasefire and prisoner exchange will only be a pause in this current conflict. 😞

"Israel and Hamas signed at least six ceasefire agreements in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2019 and 2021. Each case followed a similar trajectory. Hamas, by and large, observed the agreement. Israel, by and large, did not. Eventually, Israeli violence elicited Hamas rocket attacks, which elicited an Israeli campaign of aggression in Gaza, which resulted in another ceasefire, and then the pattern repeated itself. This is a brief history of ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, from 2008 to the present."

They have reneeged on every agreement they've made in the past with the Palestinians. That's how, over the past 70 years, they've been able to take all the Palestinian land they now have. I'm not saying the Palestinians have always lived up to their promises either, but each side vehemently believes that ALL of Palestine should belong to them. This episode will be no exception. Just wait. The hostages were the only things keeping Israel from completely decimating Gaza and removing all Palestinians from the West Bank. As I predicted earlier, as soon as the hostages are released, Israel will continue their destruction of Gaza.

No, I predict it will be the lying Israelis who will reneg this time. They will wait until Hamas returns all the hostages they have, then they will accuse Hamas of not returning all of them, and then they will continue their relentless genocide of the Palestinian people. That was their plan all along. 😠

I haven't commented on the war in Sudan because I know very little about it. Unfortunately, many conflicts like this are occurring in the world today. Perhaps conflicts like these have always existed, but with the advent of the Internet, we are now more aware of them. What is your ( @Nick Carter icp ) opinion of what the problem is?

Trump - what a POS!!!!! 😞

This will probably be used by Israel to void the entire deal with Hamas. I'm sure they will want an excuse to do that. 😞

I shop first at Lazada and then Shopee. I pay by QR.

Yeah, agree. I think the biggest problem is the hostages Hamas has. They are Hamas's only bargaining chips, and once they are all given back to Israel, there is nothing to force Israel to go on with the rest of the agreement. Israel is more likely to then just continue its decimation of Gaza and the expelling all Palestinians from the West Bank. That, I think, is their goal. I don't think Israel could be forced to continue with the agreement by threats from other countries, such as even the USA. 😞

I hope an agreement can be reached, but I wouldn't bet on it. 🥺

I hope this never gets minted, but as long as Trump is president, virtually anything can happen. 🥹

The region was called "Palestine" in 1917 when the British announced "its support for the establishment of a 'national home for the Jewish people' in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population." Balfour Declaration - Wikipedia "Palestine" was also the term used for the region, which, in 1947, was designated and defined as the State of Israel and other territories (Gaza and parts of the West Bank) that were not assigned as part of Israel.

I don't think that's US policy since we (USA) are negotiating with both Russia and Israel.

Yes, my limited understanding is that royals are not subject to all the laws and prosecution as the common man (people). Is that true?

Okay, but in this theoretical case, after committing regicide, Harry would then be the King. Is the King subject to prosecution like this?

I have a Krungsri app on my phone and use it almost every day to transfer money and scan QR codes to pay for items. I'm 79.

I'm sorry to hear this. What I hope happens is that Hamas returns the proposal, specifying which items they would accept and which they would not, and how these could be modified to accommodate their acceptance.

You could say this "war" (I prefer "conflict") started over 2,000 years ago if you believe the tale of Exodus in the Old Testament and the Torah, when the Jews who were fleeing slavery entered Canaan and took it over by force from the native people there, the Canaanites, who were ancestors of the present-day Palestinians. I prefer just going back to 1947 when the UN, in coordination with England, gave about half of the territory to the Jews. We can disagree on just when this conflict started, but I expect we will not disagree that this conflict will not be resolved or ended anytime soon, regardless of the agreements reached on a hostage exchange and a ceasefire. 😞

There's been a war ever since the UN gave about half of Palestine to the Jews. Israel and the Palestinians have killed each other multiple times in their attempts to sieze or hold on to property. Oct 7 was just the start of another chapter of that war.

But the question I asked was not just about a royal killing people. It was about a royal who killed fellow royals so he could become King. That has happened in the past, right?

But you are familiar with the fact that there is a difference? I am, but I don't know how the legal system would apply to a King as opposed to a common man.

Are you serious? You know of course, that the real power has shifted away from the King... Yes, I did post my question above seriously. I'm not a UK citizen, so I'm not familiar with the differences in how royalty is treated compared to the common citizen.

A quick question... If Prince Harry were to kill King Charles, Prince William, and all his children, would he then become King? And if so, could he then be prosecuted for doing so? After all, that's the way it has been done in the past for hundreds of years.

Yes, I knew that. In fact I know that the word "Semite" refers to both Jews and Arabs. Yes, in fact, it seems like the majority of Israelis (who are mostly Jews) want the war in Gaza to stop so the hostages can come home.
