    Cool. This would’ve been better four months ago, but the second best time is now, I guess.

    Now stop giving them guns.

    Glad Biden is in charge of this and not Trump, doubt there would be any progress under him.

    The secretary of state, Antony Blinken, presented the resolution as calling for “an immediate ceasefire tied to the release of hostages”.

    So same shit that is already on the table but Gaza does not accept.

      Hamas offered release of hostages in return for a total end to hostilities and Israel declined. Don’t lay this shit on the resistance; Israel has the power to stop the killing any day they fancied it.

        There is no “end to hostilities” as long as Hamas exists. That should be obvious by now - Hamas’ demands to any form of peace are a total farce and only the dumbest idiots would fall for that. Want a ceasefire? Release the hostages. Want permanent peace? Disarm the terrorists and come to negotiations.

            Because in 1948 the peoples not yet named Palestinians along with Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon started a war of genocide against the newly created Israel?

          And Hamas is never going to agree to terms that require it to stop existing; making that a condition is a non-starter for any negotiation.

          The only terrorists in this conflict are Israel, who have made it very clear that their goal was never to “defeat hamas” but to defeat the very existence of arab and palestinian people within the gaza strip. To argue anything else is genocide denial.

      And it calls for a “sustained” instead of permanent ceasefire.

      Israel rejected a Hamas proposal for hostage release in exchange for an agreement that would end the war.
