[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole cycle of Hamas terrorism and Israel killing civilians in retaliation is not going to end. They all think they’re justified in doing it. This won’t end until they choose to work it out. [/quote]

Yes, agree. Unfortunately, Israel is stuck killing civilians when Hamas uses them as human shields. The big takeaway is terrorists make terrible negotiating partners.[/quote]

Israel doesn’t want to negotiate, [b]nor do they want to stop settlements[/b]. [/quote]

Not when that "negotiation" means a cease fire that leaves many Hamas terrorists alive on their border to continue their terrorist ways.  
These barbarians committed unthinkable atrocities on 10/7 and you expect Israel to just turn the other cheek and let these evil monsters continue to exist?[/quote]
NP.. agree that Hamas are terrorists.

But, you didn't address the bolded.  The continuing encroachment on Palestinian lands made them angry. There were discussions of a peace deal, but that ended because of the continued settlements that Israel allowed.

And you expect Palestine to just turn the other cheek? If someone squatted in your backyard, would you just ignore it?[/quote]

When settlers kill Palestinians, they are Zionists reclaiming the land given to Abraham by God. When Palestinians resist, they are terrorists [/quote]

When settlers kill Palestinians, they are murderers living illegally on land that a reasonable government would realize it should have given up a long time ago if for no other reason than because it would improve security for Israel proper (I happen to think there are moral arguments for doing that, too, but it's also clear the occupation is actively making Israel less safe). They are also shandes.

When Palestinians kill Israeli civilians, they are also murderers, and they're fueling the insane arguments of the Israeli far right that there can be no such thing as coexistence on the land between two people who clearly aren't going anywhere.

You are correctly pointing out a double standard that some people want to employ, but in doing so, you're also perpetuating a zero-sum binary that really only serves Hamas and the messianic religious Zionist lunatics that pushed Likud into the majority in this Knesset. [/quote]

More of this reasonable, relatively even-handed perspective, please.[/quote]
