    An extremist would say that this can’t end until one side kills the other, so might as well get it over with.

    I don’t believe that. I think as humans we have an obligation to try for peace without murdering half a million people. Unlike most people here, I want to believe that someday both sides can find a way to peace.

    But if you insist that one side is good and one side is bad, then this can’t end well.

      I would argue that one side is fighting to achieve peace while the other side is fighting for the destruction of a population and the annexation of their land.

      Remind me again who is rejecting the ceasefire offers.

        Hilarious. Which side is that?

        (The second part I won’t argue. The inevitable annexation is deplorable.)

          Hamas is has laid out a very clear and peace plan and has even agreed to a 2 state solution.

          Objectively looking at the situation one cannot say that there are two sides which do not want peace.

          Only one side does not want peace, and that is israel.

            If Hamas hasn’t given up their hostages, they must not be that interested in peace.

              Israel said they will not stop the Genocide nor release the Palestinian hostages if Hamas releases their hostages. So not sure what you are talking about.
