Huh? Israel is at war with Hamas. It has provided evacuation notices so people can move south. The IDF is regarded as one of the most humane militaries there is.

Yeah, we get it, you are an Israeli propagandist. It worked before, now with social media the previously successful propaganda techniques are not working.

Again: it is not Israel’s obligation to provide aid and comfort to Hamas. Israel is begging Gazans to evacuate.

BS. Evacuate WHERE?!
The world is watching, Israel is perpetuating genocide. It’s a fact.

Read a little bit more than whatever you’re reading. Egypt and Qatar are working with the US negotiate a ceasefire and humanitarian corridor.

The saddest part is when I ask them what their alternative plan is to the current situation and they have nothing.

It’s all just feels. Which is fine, it’s right to feel sad and angry about the situation. I am. They just don’t know enough about the situation to really be able to engage substantively in a discussion about what’s next.

Which is frustrating. Listen, I hate it too. I hate Bibi. But I know enough to have an intelligent discussion about this. They clearly don’t, as they crumble in the face of questions.

Thank the heavens we have intelligent folks like you here to occupy the adult table. Do you even read aloud what you type? People here have endured your inane perseveration re: “to what end” and already Mutombo’d the shit out of it with ideas. Others have ignored you because they know YOUR endgame is to stifle any real discussion because in the long run, you’re pleased as punch with the status quo.

No one has given reasonable ideas, or in fact any ideas.

You use the word reasonable to tip your hand that you’re not willing to change ANYTHING, but you expect not to be laughed at or ignored. OK.

I never said that. But when the only idea is one that would guarantee 7 million Israeli Jews are under the rule of Palestinians, without getting rid of Hamas, well then that’s not so reasonable now is it?

That’s not a solution ANYONE has floated, nor one that I would support. Both sides deserve to live in peaceful co-existence with one another. Anything that threatens that, like Hamas militants / terrorists or parents that teach their children to dehumanize the other side or Bibi or settler militants / terrorists or politicians on both sides who dehumanize the other side or displaced Palestinians who can’t get onboard with a new plan … they can all F off, as far as I’m concerned.

So I have to explain it again:

One state means Palestinians rule because there are more of them. That places all Israeli Jews at risk, especially if Hamas is still around.

Many on this thread have proposed one state.

The West Bank is the one state solution of Israeli and Arabs living side by side and even though it is majority Palestinians but they don’t rule. The ones at risk are not the Israelis in the West Bank. It’s the Palestinians.

Jeez, I really do have to spell it all out for you all.

If ALL Palestinians were incorporated into Israel as one state, they would outnumber Jews and thus run the government.

But that’s… democracy. That’s how a democratic country works. Artificially holding people on land and giving them no citizenship is apartheid. I live in a democracy, I do not support an apartheid state.

And if Hamas is still around, they would infiltrate that government and kill Jews en masse.

Ok with you?

But I thought Israel is destroying Hamas by razing Gaza and killing thousands of children. No?

Hamas will be around for quite awhile. So you can’t hurt conveniently pretend they’re gone.

Then why is Israel razing Gaza? What are they accomplishing and how long is that supposed to take?

Well, when you’re trying to get rid of a wealthy terrorist group that has ruled a place for 20 years, it takes awhile.

Ask the US about Afghanistan and how that went.

So if that is your analogy, are you saying that Israel will actually never defeat Hamas and the organisation will just bounce back? Then why are they killing so many civilians? What is being accomplished?

So we’re back again to my original question: what’s your alternative strategy?

You can’t answer a question with a question. Do you believe that Israel has a strategy and is pursuing a course of action that will succeed, or don’t you? And if so, why would they then have to worry about Hamas infilitrating the Palestinian population? THEN you can give me a question.

I think they’re dealing with an insane death cult and there are no good options.

But I assume you have ingenious ideas.

Why is razing Gaza, a place that is 50% children, and killing thousands upon thousands of innocent people the best of their bad options?

What’s your plan?

Plan? Be a man and get on the ground, bombing the entire city is a cowards way out, people who are too scared to fight a just war.

Ok with you?

And if the situation stays unchanged, Palestinians in Gaza are getting killed en masse. Ok with you?

I’m not the one saying I don’t care what happens to millions of people.

So answer my question.

Yes you are.

A single state with 5 million Palestinians and 9 million Israelis (using the UN's estimated 2023 numbers) is not the guaranteed holocaust you think it is. There were only 30,000 Hamas fighters before this war started.

7 million Israeli Jews. 9 million Palestinians including those in all parts of the land under contention. Check your goddamn facts.

Why do I have to have a plan? I am just a civilian without an army and intelligence service at my disposal. You would think with everything Israel has, they would be able to come up with a plan that someone, anyone, can believe in. I guess they just drank their own kool aid for too long. Even YOU don’t think they will succeed as you try to defend their tactics. They are just taking Hamas’ bait.

Sometimes when you make a series of awful decisions you go down a path that will end badly no matter what you do next, and it is no one’s fault but your own. Israel is going down that path.

Are you not aware of the total bombardment happening RIGHT NOW. It’s an extreme escalation of bombings and a ground assault. the internet has been cut - they are killing EVERYONE.

Israel is showing what the plan has been all along. It’s disgusting and I am sick my tax dollars are paying for it.

My boomer mom just called me in tears. It’s extinction of Palestinians.

I don’t believe you that your mom called you in tears. She probably doesn’t even know where Palestine is.

You don’t have to believe me but it’s true: she’s spent the last week reading up on the last 75 years and cannot believe the spin Americans have been fed. Times are changing.

She learned all of it in a week? OMG GOOD FOR HER.

Proves to me she didn’t know crap before that and doesn’t know crap now.

She knows Israel is commiting genocide in front of the eyes of the entire world. There is no coming back from this.

I see my own kids and cannot fathom the horror.

You can all be like Amy Schumer and project your pearl clutching and bring up beheaded babies but it’s becoming clear what the plan has been all along.

Biden can go to hell for supporting this

Huh? Israel is at war with Hamas. It has provided evacuation notices so people can move south. The IDF is regarded as one of the most humane militaries there is.

Are you not aware of the total bombardment happening RIGHT NOW. It’s an extreme escalation of bombings and a ground assault. the internet has been cut - they are killing EVERYONE.

Israel is showing what the plan has been all along. It’s disgusting and I am sick my tax dollars are paying for it.

My boomer mom just called me in tears. It’s extinction of Palestinians.

I don’t believe you that your mom called you in tears. She probably doesn’t even know where Palestine is.

You don’t have to believe me but it’s true: she’s spent the last week reading up on the last 75 years and cannot believe the spin Americans have been fed. Times are changing.

She learned all of it in a week? OMG GOOD FOR HER.

Proves to me she didn’t know crap before that and doesn’t know crap now.

She knows Israel is commiting genocide in front of the eyes of the entire world. There is no coming back from this.

I see my own kids and cannot fathom the horror.

You can all be like Amy Schumer and project your pearl clutching and bring up beheaded babies but it’s becoming clear what the plan has been all along.

Biden can go to hell for supporting this

Your mom is so ignorant. Sorry, it’s true.

Have you taught her “from the river to the sea” yet?

Go on - Throw your insults around. We see you now for what you are. Israeli propaganda is useless when we can all see what’s happening with our own eyes.

Of course she has. One state solution. We know what that means.

I’m curious where you’re getting your videos though.

No. It means the annihilation of Israel.

Might need another week of study for Mama.
