Stable doors spring to mind, this should have been said and acted on years ago, too late now. Muslims have never wanted a 2 state solution, thats the problem, they could have had a state and called in Palestine from the 1930's. Their hatred of Jews and selfish demands always led them to refuse and continue a never ending war.

It's looking like if Trump isn't thrown in jail he will continue on to win the presidency and I'm thinking he will be on the side of Israel quite strongly which will exacerbate the region fighting. Whereas he will  most likely settle down the Russian Ukraine dispute. Fair reasoning?

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Saturday both Washington and Arab states believe the status quo of a Hamas-controlled Gaza cannot continue and that he has discussed with his Arab counterparts how to chart a better path forward towards a two-state solution.

As far as I understand, that's one way of putting things - other reports suggest Arab representatives refused to discuss Gaza's future so long as the fighting goes on (linked elsewhere).

Supporting killing of children is not good. How many more must die for you.

 

Hamas could stop this immediately - release hostages, surrender.

Hamas could protect them children - they do not allow them the safety of their tunnels.

You don't seem to have much of an issue with them sacrificing their own children.

   No war crimes have been committed by Israel  though , so they would get a not guilty verdict in a trial .

   Hamas on the other hand have committed numerous war crimes , numbered in their thousands, tens of thousands even 

 

The first one is not a fact.

The second is.

Whenever Israel is being criticized 'hamas apologists' comes up. Which is nonsense, no one is apologizing for what Hamas did on 7/10, but it is really easy on your conscience to simply dismiss Israeli misdeeds this way.

 

But you have no issues with the opposite leveled the other way around.

Have been at it, in the past, quite often, actually.

Hamas love kiddies being killed or even crying on top of rubble with a dirty face, great for their crude emotion twisting propaganda, which is all over the place. If only they put as much effort into protecting them rather than exploiting them there would not be as much collateral damage.

Wow, a single line quote, daring 8 years back without a source? Now that's what I call a winning argument, not to mention the in-depth insight on display.

 

Enjoy:

 

To Bar Ilan and back: Benjamin Netanyahu’s changing views on a Palestinian state

https://www.timesofisrael.com/to-bar-ilan-and-back-benjamin-netanyahus-changing-views-on-a-palestinian-state/

 

Netanyahu's election slogan in 2008 was about dismantling Hamas rule in Gaza. Not only this never happened, or attempted, Netanyahu even facilitated the transfer of Qatari funds to the Gaza Strip.

 

He says a whole lot of things. Kinda like Trump.

The facts are that Hamas started this war, killed babies, anally gang raped women so bad they bled before they were slaughtered, killed whole families, burnt families to death and the rest of the sadistic crimes.

Israel gives the Palestinians a warning as to where they intend to bomb so they can move to safety, it is not the fault of the Israeli's if Hamas are using them as a human shields, Israel first concern is the safety of their own citizens.

What is Israel supposed to do give them a slap on the wrists and say 'that was naughty, don't do it again'!

You made a blanket claim that no war crimes were committed by Israel. Since there's no clear information yet on all actions etc. hard to see how you can support this. Given the sheer scope of operations, it's probable that there were at least some violations, at the very least. I'm not invested in the claim Israel did commit war crimes, for the very same reason.

read it, previously - thank you ! - one of my favourite, reasonably unbiased sources. This is a very moving Interview (podcast) with a truly extraordinary Israeli - who shows his commitment to peace, despite Hamas murdering his daughter. I wish more people would read some of the positive thinking that is available to read or listen to, on news sites like Haaretz.com - and not just the hatred. https://www.haaretz.com/.../0000018b-861f-df47-a3df...    I was quite surprised to the article on the Indiatoday, but I have not evaluated its objectivity yet.

Maybe they see your views as closer to theirs.

I don't recall you ever expressing much issues with posters fully invested in the Palestinian side's narrative the way you do with opponents.

Plenty of allegations made. That's routine. When the dust settles, there's usually much less to actually chew on. You're welcome to check many links provided on this topic and parallel ones as to that. I don't believe you're not aware of this, so why waste time?

Trump wont go to jail, and he will be on our side. There are MURDERED Americans and Americans being held hostage by barbaric neo Nazi terrorists. No weak wishy washy Democratic party bull<deleted> to get votes from ignorant anti semites.

You mean the same Trump that just 2-3 weeks ago said them terrorists are very smart, denigrated Israel's leaders and so on? Trump is about Trump, nothing else.

 

You say 'weak', I see a whole lot of US Navy in place, drones over the Gaza Strip, and Hezbollah not daring to do much else than harass Israel. Iran nowhere in sight.

Oh, that. Sure. But you are aware that Amnesty (even if one took them as seriously as you do) is not the arbiter of whether war crimes were committed, yes?

 

Gathering evidence is not the same as making allegations stick.
