Does Israel want to make peace with the majority of Palestinians, excluding Hamas ? If they do, go on a short trip to Cairo and join the peace conference, their views and interest in peace are important. How is Hamas 'a small faction'? Hamas won the last general Palestinian elections, and polls since routinely show mass popular support. Would a 'small faction' be able to control the Gaza Strip for over a decade? Produce thousands of rockets and so on? Not buying into your feigned ignorance, and them 'questions'. Even if one had no clue, it's practically impossible not know these sort of things following the news for the last couple of weeks. Even dodgier coming from a new(?) addition to the membership. At minimum, peace requires two parties. Somehow you have 'questions' only regarding one of them. The conference in Cairo is not about providing a solution for the entire conflict. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK, major european nations, UN leader and Arab country heads are going. Don't see USA or Israel mentioned in the list. Why not go and talk about peace ? Is that the same Aljazzera new site(sic) (Al Jazeera news site) That is based in, and controlled by, Qatar; where the Qatari funded political leader of Hamas and his entourage are cocooned. You might want to look elsewhere for any impartial reporting on this particular war. As for the summit, why would the USA or Israel send representatives; there will not be any representative from Hamas, and even if there were, the USA and Israel do not negotiate with designated terrorist organisations. Although Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority will be there, he holds no power whatsoever, he is just a relic, an attempted facade of respectability for the Palestinian people. The P.A. lost all power in Gaza 16 years ago when the Palestinians in Gaza voted for Hamas as their government. Still, Russia are sending their deputy foreign minister and China are sending an envoy, so the summit will at least have an abundance of irony when peace is being discussed. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Not a media I would normally share but there's a decent interview here on Fox News with the son of the founding Hamas Leader. Basically saying that Hamas are just using the Palestine people for their end goal, an Islamic state in the middle east and the rest of the world, using the people of Palestine as human shields. They serve their masters, Iran and Russia with Iran supplying close to a billion dollars annually. Regards Israel, IDF going into Gaza, he says its going to be ugly even for the most modern army. Most of the tunnels are in the North so all civilians have to be evacuated and Egypt needs to open its borders. He has some suggestions on how to end them but I'll leave that for the viewers.

It did not occur to me to say it as I presumed it was obvious that Hamas would not be invited. They are a proscribed terrorist group in many of the countries who are attending. And as you say, I do want to be critical of countries that chose not to attend. Talking about peace and and trying to come up with viable long term solutions is needed. All my life, and before it, there's been a Palestinian conflict. I want a fair solution, as do most people. I am from the UK, with no religious beliefs. You talk of 'outing me'. A bit aggresive sounding, but up to you. But given this chance to express my overall view of the aftermath of the Hamas attrocity, I'd like to make this point: After 2 weeks, we are given by the UN and others figures such as 1,400 Israelis killed on October 7th by Hamas. 4,000 Palestinians killed since 7th, 30% of housing damaged in Gaza, 1m people moved. Is that enough retribution ? Is it time to stop ? Seems to me thats enough killing for anyone. A 3 to 1 rate of Palestinian deaths to Israeli deaths should satisfy even the most upset. Perhaps thats 500 Hamas operatives dead, my guess. Some will say they want all current Hamas operatives killed. But that's not achievable without much larger palestinian deaths. For me, enough is enough. Israel will loose any moral high ground it had and the situation will be worse for Israel, not better. Israel should strengthen its southern border with a larger no-go area and work towards a fair settlement of the Palestinian issue. That's my view - outed for sure now.

Try and think how the UK would react to a terrorist attack killing 10,000 people in single day. That's more or less the ratio. Factor in a long standing conflict, the barbarity of the murders and so on. There is a revenge element, sure, but the rational argument is that the notion Hamas can be contained, reasoned with and so on is out the window.

This forum and reading diverse sources has helped me form this view. Thanks. You talk as if you didn’t know that it is in the founding charter of Hamas, and every manifesto they have published, to eradicate every jew in the world, and not just those in Israel. Given the interest you are showing in this war, you must have know that, but conveniently just ignored it. Once you fully understand that, or admit you know it, you will realise that this war for Israel is not about retribution, despite your cynical question mark after your use of the word, and your other loaded questions. It is about their right to exist and not be wiped from the face of the earth. It is also about trying to rescue 200 odd hostages, or their dead bodies, another thing you failed to mention. It is a sad reflection of how little you seem to understand about this war, that you use a ratio of dead bodies on either side as your reasoning for Israel to stop pursuing the terrorists that invaded their country and slaughtered more than a thousand innocent civilians, including babies, women, children, the old, pregnant women, and the disabled. That notwithstanding, and fully acknowledging the human tragedy of innocent Palestinians being killed, the blood of every one of them is on the hands of their elected government, Hamas. If Israel do not eradicate Hamas, they will, before long, suffer another massacre like the 7th October as Hamas will continue to pursue its dictum to eradicate all jews. Telling that you are only demanding that Israel stop. Maybe try telling Hamas to return all hostages, stop firing rockets indiscriminately at civilians in Israel (something else you forgot to mention) lay down all armaments, surrender themselves unconditionally to stand trial at a war crimes tribunal in the Hague, and Israel will not need to pursue this war any further. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
