Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)

Featured Replies

Back on topic and fingers crossed for the ceasefire deal.

 

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken yesterday:

 

“No one should have to go through what they've gone through and what the other hostage families continue to go through,” Blinken said. “It's another reason why getting the ceasefire would be so crucial to enable us to bring the hostages home.”
Blinken reiterated that there is a “very strong proposal on the table right now,” but said the ball is in Hamas’ court to accept it.

 “The question – will Hamas take it? Does Hamas want to end the suffering that it’s provoked?” he asked. “The question is there but I can tell you that we're intensely engaged every single day, almost every single hour with Qatar, with Egypt, to see if we can get a ceasefire agreement that will get the hostages out, get more aid in and create a pathway perhaps for a more lasting, secure solution.”

Jammed hostage talks advancing as Hamas softens under Qatari pressure — diplomat
Arab official says terror group has accepted modified version of framework deal already agreed to by Israel, but sides still need to sign off.

Qatari and Egyptian mediators believe significant progress has been made this week toward securing a truce between Israel and Hamas, after talks appeared dead in the water, a senior Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel on Tuesday.

Progress was made after Doha placed significant pressure on Hamas, warning the terror group that its leaders residing in Qatar would be kicked out of the country if they didn’t adapt their approach in the negotiations.

No, Muslim killing Muslim is not as bad as Jew killing Muslim. 

Jew killing Jew doesn't happen, why do you think this is?

Jews do not hate Muslims and are not conditioned from birth to hate Muslims. Simple!

I can't imagine how it would feel if one of my daughters was held in the terror tunnels but living her hell with her would be the only thought I could have. Here's the words of just one mother.

 

Meirav Berger: Hamas kidnapped my daughter. I don't know how much longer she can go on

Israeli hostage Agam Berger

It has been more than two hundred and nineteen thousand, one hundred and fifty minutes since I last spoke with my daughter Agam.

Yes, I’m counting the minutes. Not the hours, not the days, not the weeks or months. Minute-by-minute, my mind and body are in constant, excruciating pain as I wait for Agam, who was brutally kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, to come back home.

The last I heard from the brave hostages who returned from the depths of the Gaza underground, she was in a dark, damp tunnel. They told me she, too, might be a victim of sexual violence.

It was intentional.

13,000 where terrorists ?? how was that ascertained ?  and even if they where which I doubt, what about the other thousands of innocent men,women and children dead at the hands of Israel/IDF... 

It probably came from the IDF, an organisation I wouldn't trust to tell the truth about anything to do with the Palestinians.

I have that opinion because of the "terrorist roster" that was a calendar and the babies in microwaves BS.

Is there any conflict with that statement and my posts? 

 

I have said I understand the mechanism leading to the final war, because it will be the final war! If not the neighbouring countries interfere, then the conflict will escalate in to a new dimension, and I believe that was what Hamas hoped for would happen. If neighbouring countries stays out, it will be the end of palestine, which I believe maybe the best for the future to come. 

 

We remember Sri Lanka, final conflict totally wiped out the Tamil Tigers last resistance. 

 

Genocide is the best weapon for peace. It is a final solution like it or not.

You are wrong on that. They can kill every Palestinian man woman and child in Gaza and the West Bank but millions are still living outside the israeli's reach, ready willing and able to take revenge, and they will be aided by countries such as Iran and Yemen.

Ironically, those Palestinians are living outside israel's reach because israelis drove their parents and grandparents out of israel in the first place in 1948. Self inflicted wound that, LOL.

 

Israel has sown the wind and the whirlwind is coming.

You can repeat this mantra till you're both blue in the face, still doesn't wash as far as I'm concerned. 

There will be wars here till Israel accepts a 2 State solution.

Indeed. Israelis will have the never ending war, and will live in fear for many many decades or even centuries, if they do not recognise that Palestinians are people with the same desires for freedom as any other people on the planet and not vermin to be exterminated.

Some ceasefire:

 

It depends on when you start the clock. Gaza was created by Israel in 1948, as a refugee camp to contain Palestinians displaced in the Nakba. Since 2007, Israel has kept Gaza under an illegal military siege, counting calories allowed in and permitting the water in Gaza to become undrinkable, creating a humanitarian crises widely condemned by the international community. 

In November 2022, the most right-wing government in Israeli history came to power, led by Benjamin Netanyahu and including far-right extremist politicians in its coalition. 

Ethnic cleansing of Palestinians has always been Israeli policy. Over the past year, under the leadership of the most right-wing government in Israeli history, the Israeli military and settlers have led an escalated campaign of displacement, dispossession, and violent repression against Palestinians across Israel and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

You speak truth, but there are those on here that only believe anything supporting israeli aggression. They don't even believe that October 7 happened as a reaction to israeli oppression, and think it happened without any provocation.

Iran won't attack israel directly, and will likely use Palestinian refugees as proxies. They will have all the volunteers they need or want. People with no hope make excellent human bombs as long as they are killing the people they hate, and israel is creating millions of them, and much hate right now.

I think we are all familiar with the use of proxies, are we not?

Funny (not ha ha) how you twist things.

I have looked at Palestinian propaganda and they often use Nazi style imagery showing Jews as rats.

I have not seen similar from the Israeli side towards Palestinians.

Also 20 percent of Israeli citizens are Arabs. 

Your rhetoric is extremely and obviously intentionally inflammatory.

  Iran have been doing that for the last 30 years or so , funding terror groups to attack Israel .

Israel responded by imposing a blockade on Gaza and building separation walls in the West Bank 

The human bombs stopped about ten years ago with new security measures , including strip searching females looking for bombs, which you lot class as rape

Israel red lines are no more 7/10s, they will not achieve this by sitting on their hands and letting the Palestinian terrorists run amok, release the hostages and surrender the terrorists and hey presto.....no war.

They certainly weren't going to have peace by not responding to Hamas after October 7.

That was the 4th Obstacle to peace that Chuck said. The first was “Hamas and the Palastinians who support and tolerate their evil ways”.

 

Happy to hear your thankful for his speech.

  The Aram/Muslim World isn't as united against Israel as you would like to think , even the Iran public were burning Palestinian flags , stating they don't want another war on the Palestinians behalf .

   Just a few Muslim Countries want to go to war with Israel , most want to avoid another war

It really doesn't sound like you want a ceasefire at all, you're too busy ranting about how bad Israel is all the time or trying to bring in history, instead of solutions to stopping the war. Releasing the hostages, delivering more aid and stopping the killing now which everyone wants apart from Hamas.

 

To that end, it seems the pressure put on Hamas by Qatar and Egypt into accepting a deal may be getting some results.

 

Hamas delivers response on hostage deal proposal

image.png.4fa925eea41d91b07b31518d0867ceef.png

A senior Israeli official said Hamas' response was relatively positive and included for the first time the number of prisoners that Hamas demands to be released for each of the categories of hostages who are to be freed in the first phase of the deal.
The Israeli official added that the number of prisoners that Hamas demands is still too high, but in a place where more serious negotiations can begin. "There is something to work with," said the Israeli official.
Behind the scenes: Senior Israeli officials claim that in recent days Israel received indications from the Qatari and Egyptian mediators that point to shifts among Hamas' leadership that may lead to progress.

   I do hope that Mossad kills the Hamas leadership .

Hamas executed a large Gazian  Clan member for stealing humanitarian aid

In that case I hope they are not copying the US and calling for more aid while providing bombs to kill them with.
