[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it was an interesting conversation at a pivotal time. I'm Jewish, very pro-Israel but I hate Netanyahu and what he's done to our Palestinian neighbors. I wish they had talked about how Hamas has still not release 50 remaining hostages (or their bodies): that would end the famine right away. But the Netanyahu government isn't doing anyone any favors right now and needs to change. It makes all of us look bad and endangers all of us as such.[/quote]

How are you so certain that releasing the remaining hostages “would end the famine right away?”  Isn’t it at least as likely that once the hostages have been released Netanyahu will destroy the remaining Palestinians?  [/quote]

Exactly, that's why Israel has rejected most of the hostage deals and why they don't care if the hostages starve or get killed by indiscriminate bombing. The goal has always been to wipe out Gaza and resettle and the justification for this can only occur so long as there are hostages. Not a very a very complicated or difficult concept to see.

I’m so sorry that you believe the lies you have been fed about Israel. Israel has no desire to “wipe out Gaza and resettle.” There are some lunatic fringe people who talk about this (Smotich) but most of Israel wants no part of it. They just want their people back from Gaza (both hostages an d soldiers) and peaceful coexistence with their Palestinian neighbors.

This is a very horrible war that was started by Hamas (who are Palestinians by the way). Hamas knew what would happen to Gaza if it started this war and did it anyway. You are right that the war may go on if the hostages are released. Hamas will also need to disarm. Once the hostages are released and Hamas disarms, this war will end. There will be lots of rebuilding to do and education of Palestinians not to hate Jews. The Palestinians were given an independent state back in 2005. Instead of living peacefully and building a nation, they have been firing rockets at Israel. The only reason Israel does what it does in Gaza and the West Bank is to avert terrorism. If the terrorism would stop, both Palestinians and Israelis could live peacefully side by side in their own countries. [/quote]

This is an alarming amount of bullshit.
