But you don't actually know what Hamas are demanding , its just what you think . You just made it up I heard that on CNN, that Hamas was demanding a "permanent" ceasefire and withdrawal of troops. I'm sure there are other conditions, just as Israel can propose other conditions. But a "permanent" ceasefire is one that CNN has reported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkk Brian Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 1 minute ago, WDSmart said: Yes, if they want the hostages back. But, they don't have to say "Hamas has won." They have already bombed and killed 10s of thousands of Palestinians. I don't think Hamas would call that "winning." I do think BOTH sides could "win" if they sat down and worked out a two-state solution. But, that's probably wishing for way too much, especially right now. You live in the same reality as the terrorist's, pointless discussing it with you further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame Israel for participated in a war started by Palestinians . Due to the security threat to Israel , terrorists need to be removed from Gaza . Palestinians need to stop attacking Israel and it seems that the only way to do that is to remove them from the land Thanks you for your honesty in stating your position. You are despicable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yawn, because they don't want Israel's genocidal effort in displacing them to succeed, yet again. You have utterly failed to address this point at any time. We have cockatoos who keep saying the same things over and over again without understanding their meaning. Egypt's PM or president I forget which said exactly that in a recent interview I watched on YT. Edited March 11 by ozimoron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, "agree to a deal." I agree, but there has been no "deal," only a proposal (an ultimatum, it seems) by Israel. A "deal" is something that has to be developed through negotiations. I hope that a real "deal" can soon be reached. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozimoron Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said: What's that got to do with Qatar getting frustrated with Hamas and threatening to expel them from their base in Doha It specifically rebuts your claim that Qatar is "frustrated" by Hamas. It is in fact frustrated by Israel. Should Qatar facilitate Israel's policy of genocidal displacement of people from their homelands because of retribution? Prove your claim with a link. We know what happens to Palestinian refugee camps. Nothing. They remain in situ for decades. Edited March 11 by ozimoron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something Freudian going on here ? Some psychological reason for their shouting about Israel ? Why do you keep turning this argument around? We (Aussies and Yanks) all know what our forefathers did was wrong. Now we see it being done in Israel. That's why we are against it. And YOU seem to also think what was done in our home countries was wrong (I think, do you?). So if you do, why are you defending Israelis for doing it now? If I went into someone's house and stole their computer and never gave it back, that would be wrong. If you saw someone else, maybe a member of your family, also stealing a computer, would you think that was okay because I got away with it?

ezzra Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The question that should be really asked is How many Palestinians and Israelis will have to die before the Palestinians will realise that they're fighting a losing war?

Reducing it to a matter of winning or losing oversimplifies the complexities of the situation and undermines the legitimate grievances and aspirations of both Palestinians and Israelis. Characterizing the conflict as a "losing war" for Palestinians overlooks the systemic inequalities and power imbalances that have perpetuated their struggle for self-determination and basic human rights. Palestinians have faced displacement, occupation, and numerous human rights violations, including restrictions on movement, land confiscation, and the expansion of illegal settlements. Also, attributing blame solely to Palestinians for perpetuating the conflict disregards the role of the Israeli government in maintaining and exacerbating tensions through its policies and actions. The ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories, the expansion of settlements in defiance of international law, and the disproportionate use of force against Palestinian civilians have all contributed to the cycle of violence and instability. Dehumanizing Palestinians or dismissing their suffering only serves to perpetuate animosity and hinder prospects for reconciliation and peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question. I think the Palestinians continue to fight and commit attacks such as Oct 7, to shock the world enough so they will look into this situation and help enforce an equitable settlement. This is just IMO, but I can think of no other reason, except maybe just frustration and revenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
