    Likely an unpopular opinion, but if Hamas releases the hostages and surrenders it’s leadership, it is more likely to result in cessation of military action for some time, than if Israel stops bombing.

    The current calls to stop bombing is akin to telling the US to stop bombing cities in Germany during world war two.

    Israel is looking to exploit and oppress, but don’t forget that Hamas will not stop until all Jews and non Muslims are exterminated.

      Simply not true, in 2018 iirc there were about 1500 Palestinian deaths and 0 israeli deaths. Israelis are not the victims. They constantly bully Palestinians out of their homes under military protection. Currently the civilians of gaza are under siege and even if they wanted to leave they cannot, they have nowhere to go.

        True. Hamas also offered to release the prisoners in exchange for all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. Israel continues to refuse the swap and as a result some have died in the bombings.

    • You are lying but I will limit myself to addressing your final lie which you base your other lies on. After all it is Israel and not Hamas that bombed the Church in Gaza.

      From Hamas Charter:

      16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

      17. Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage. The Zionist movement, which was able with the help of Western powers to occupy Palestine, is the most dangerous form of settlement occupation which has already disappeared from much of the world and must disappear from Palestine.
