With a peace agreement in Gaza, what will the protestors do now?
Will all the "students" be pacified? Or, will they just move on to the next cause?

I hate to be Debbie-downer, but,I think everyone needs to hesitate for a moment to see if in fact, it is a peace agreement. So far, all that i really see is an interruption, maybe, in fighting.
as to the hostages, every life restored is valuable, but how many live hostages out of how many hostages taken on that horrible October day are/have been recovered?
How will the other Arab countries help restore order in the area? Or will it be left to Israel and some form of Gazan government alone? I heard that US troops are being deployed there now.
If you look at the maps of the area for thousands of years, Gaza has always been displayed as a separate entity, a lone among all of the other countries in the area. Will this new proposal help them? Will Egypt be willing to have open commerce with Gazans?

@samueltyler2 no the other countries do nothing! well except paying lip service.

@StygianKohlrabi my point exactly, the other countries did their best to prevent peace from coming into the area.

There are plenty of other injustices to protest about.
Eventually most of them will become weary of the personal cost and the constant resistance. Then they will stop protesting, settle down, get jobs (many already have jobs), get married (many are already that too), have children (ditto).
Many in the wider world will interpret that as the students being "pacified" and that they have "grown" up. But all it actually means is that some will have admitted that they don't feel personally strong enough to continue.

@Thevy29 I think a sizable part aren’t saying what they are truly mad about. There have continual and some massive roundups of child predators and those dealing in child porn. They won’t say that bothers them though because it will implicate them and put a target on them for investigation and likely lead to even more arrests. So many sadistic perverts in this country.
Trump should have NEVER pressured Bibi to agree to this… We will see them come again and again after Israel to no avail cause God has them in his hand and their days are in his hand as well. Why can’t ALL the western countries wake up and realize they want Israel and ALL Jews to not exist. They have boldly and brazenly stated there will be many Oct. 7ths.
I don’t think the God of Heaven is happy with anyone pressuring Israel…

@BrandNewMan personally I don't think Israel had much choice. Also because of pressure from Trump, also because of their international standing with Europe and also because of the internal social and political rift within Israel.
Unfortunately, because the Hamas was not completely defeated , we'll be seeing another round of fighting in the coming years.
Another result of the current treaty is that Hamas received legitimation despite their atrocities on October 7th and have been rewarded by the West.

The West is SO naive

@Chiefjustice yes, breaking into stores and rioting makes them outstanding citizens.
Chiefjustice · 46-50, M
@empanadas No one should be engaged in destructive activities, riots are UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR no matter what. I do not condone such behavior or activity.
