Why a ceasefire? In 1945 much of Europe lay in ruins. Civilians were killed, crippled, left...

What Hamas did on Oct 7 was absolutely wrong and Israel has the right to fight back against Hamas soldiers. But most of the deaths in Palestine have been walled-in women and children.

Israel has spent decades ghettoizing Palestinians, ALL Palestinians, behind tall walls, limiting their travel, limiting their employment, taking away their freedoms, creating an apartheid state. Honestly, Israel's actions are more closely aligned with the Third Reich than any modern civilized nation.

The monumental irony of this post is crushing.

We can't wait for the war to end because Hamas doesn't have enough power to defeat its occupier, especially not when most of the West is helping that nation commit genocide.

For reasons no one can explain, there are no formal declarations of war any more, and therefore no formal surrenders any more, and no formal peace treaties. In a sense then, wars never really begin, and never really end. The Middle East is thus never really at war and never really at peace, but always somewhere in between.

But how would a cease fire allow them to "restock" their weapons?
And I think to compare Hamas to Nazism is a bit of a stretch, don't you? Entirely different situations.

Yeah, sure.

You only care about Jewish people as long as it serves Evangelical nonsense about Israel predicting Christ's return, the end of the world and the forced conversion of Jewish people to Christianity.

Our PRESENT government is in bed with the globalists, who are in bed with the axis of evil nations which inhabit the UN. It is the UN and the globalists that demand HAMAS be unfettered.

They can re arm but much of their arms flowed to them via Hezbollah which has been fucked up. It'll take a good long while, since Iran too isn't in the best shape to provide the kind of support they had been given before.

You must also look through the lens of the decades of ground work Hamas had to fall back on, much of which has been erased.

This is not an easy recovery for Hamas, and they'll not have the scale to commit an October 7th atrocity for a long time, if ever again.

Think Israel wants all their hostages back only reason for them to stop fighting

Biden left them a huge stash of arms in Afghanistan.

Because peace is impossible. America and Israel hate peace and their population is uniquely aggressive and loves genocide as a tool for nation building. But murkans ain't going there! No woke! So, it's permanent.

Not a single a single accurate analogy in your post.

It’s more like a hostage for prisoner swap and a pause. I don’t see any long term plan.
