Now that we have our chosen ones back, we start bombing again, yay!
Oh great the world’s most precious people have finally been saved and all it took was a genocide on their behalf!
Hamas could have let them go and lay down their arms at any time to stop the war.
Israel could have stopped operating the largest and most inhumane open-air prison in our lifetime at any point in the past 25 years and significantly fewer people would have died, I’m sure.
Israel could have ended occupation and could accept the deal Hamas proposed to release the hostages few days after 7 of October massacres
The first offer from Hamas to let go all the hostages to Israel was on the 09.10.2023. The Israeli government rejected it then and has rejected it ever since: https://www.timesofisrael.com/no-doubt-netanyahu-preventing-hostage-deal-charges-ex-spokesman-of-families-forum/
In fact, Hamas has stated that they are not interested in any future government in Gaza about a year ago and instead wanted a Palestinian technocratic body to take over. You know what happened? Israel murdered the diplomatic leadership of Hamas in November 2024. And then Israel and the US came out and said, that they had no one to negotiate with. And just a few weeks ago, they tried the same.
In negotiations early this year with Witkoff and others, Hamas even put this in writing - again with the offer of releasing all the hostages - contingent on a stop of Israeli aggression, the continuation of humanitarian aid and the Israeli troops to withdraw from the strip. That treaty was then changed by the US and Israel in May this year before it was rejected.
This has been modus operandi from the beginning from the US and Israel. After they had a deal, change it, make it look as if Hamas is rejecting the deal and capitalize on it. In fact, if you go back in history, you’ll find the same strategy over and over again, to make it look like “Palestinians rejected peace”.
And last but not least: You are telling people to lay down their weapons, that have been under a brutal siege for over two years, while ignoring the side that put in place the siege and genocidal aggression.
people being this clueless still amazes me.
Nobody typing that is clueless, they’re getting paid (or scammed, if they’re not getting paid).
All all those lemmy news communities mods let Zionists spread the propaganda
Exactly, anyone still this clueless is a troll.
No, they very obviously could not have. Israel was intent on committing genocide regardless of what Palestinians did. You’re blaming the victims of an atrocity and should feel ashamed.
They barricaded them in a prison city. They even blockaded any sea access they had. They shot tank rounds at children for fun. They eradicated every single building they could. Spare us the diatribe. Fuck Israel.

So no excuses anymore. You got your POWs back. Any aggression on the people of Gaza is just for your bloodlust (as it has been this whole time). No more hiding their genocidal psychopathic behavior behind false pretenses.

So…now more bombing? I hope it stops here but I doubt it.
The war has destroyed large swaths of Gaza and displaced about 90% of its some 2 million residents. It has also triggered other conflicts in the region, sparked worldwide protests and led to allegations of genocide that Israel denies.
Israel has 1900 Palestinians, and yet they claim that they are the good guys…
Fuck Israel

Leaders from all over the world are making a show of it in honor of the reality-TV-star-US-president. They only invite one Palestinian representative (Abbas) from the PA to their talks. The same PA that controls only parts of the West-Bank and is highly unpopular with the Palestinian populace because they are seen as collaborators with the occupation. The “peace” “deal” came about without involvement of Palestinians. Just like 100 years ago, the fate of Palestine is being decided by colonial powers.
All the while, militant groups (if they were fighting against Israel they would be rightfully called terrorists) are continuing Israels’s tradition of killing journalists in the strip and are fighting Hamas for control.
Now we don’t know which groups these are, but back in June Netanyahu has admitted to backing militant groups in Gaza. Occam’s Razor would imply, that these would be among them.
It’s good that the bombings have stopped, that humanitarian aid has started to reach a population under a medieval-style siege for so long, offering a bit of - even if incomplete - respite. But I fear for the population once the show in Cairo is over.
EDIT: And no one is looking at the horror that is going on in the West-Bank. Nor is anyone including any points in a “deal”.
PA are collaborators not a single doubt about it
The PA is the internationally recognized representative of the Palestinian people. When other governments recognize the state of Palestine, it’s the PA they recognize as its government.
That is not entirely true. Italy and Japan for example have just a few weeks ago said, that they are thinking of recognition of a Palestinian state making it contingent on several changes of Hamas.
But this is neither here or there. If among a whole people, the only organization that is invited does represent only a minority of the people, which can be seen from their low approval, then this meeting is a farce. In the case of the PA, if you read the linked article, they have actively focused on cracking down on anti-occupation groups in Jenin, while Israel has forced around 40000 Palestinians out of their homes during ‘Operation Iron Wall’ early this year. Instead of opposing, they colluded. This is not the Palestinian people deciding their own fate, but colonial powers imposing their will on them.

Good for Hamas. Hopefully no more genocide for the future.
Hopefully no more genocide for the future.
Unfortunately nope: https://www.palestinechronicle.com/hamas-disarmament-demand-rejected-as-out-of-the-question/
Or do you have any reason to believe that Hamas will not try this again?
Why the idf who does similar crimes to what hamas did during 7 of october for much much longer time isn’t called to be disarmed?
In what other war have the winners been forced to disarm?
In what other occupation, did the occupied decided to drop their arms and accept being oppresed by the occupiers?
So now there’s no reason for Israel to hodl back. Science save us all 🙏
Naive of you to think they ever cared in the first place. Bibi will gladly murder half of Israel population with his bare hands if that means he gets to murder some Palestinians more. And he’s not alone in that.
