Israel confirms

And the Israeli government have given their demonstration over the past 80 years and are putting on quite a show now.

The Israeli government have behaved far from perfectly and I wouldn't claim otherwise. What they haven't done is kill every last Palestinian. Which is as I've evidenced with the link above, the stated aim of Hamas.

"Why don't they try the peaceful route to get what they want?" the IDF TikTok soldier yells over the sound of her machine gun taking out placard waving civilians.

Hamas have said they intent to wipe out Israel. Recently. I posted a link upthread. They have given the world a demonstration, too, on 7 October.

@Livinginanotherworld ’people have had enough’. Which people is this ? The 50 who ambushed a politician doing his job because they don’t agree with his stance ? The tiny echo chamber that you are operating in where no dissent or nuance is
allowed ?
The fact that you believe a terrorist organisation allied with other terrorist organisations that are quite happy to murder, rape and pillage innocent people elsewhere in the world says more about you.
The fact that you are quite happy to enable another 5 years of misrule by this pitiful government by creating the illusion of a split in the LP tells me you don’t give a shit about domestic events in your own country (if you are in the UK lol). Families and children in your own country are suffering right now, older people cannot afford to heat their homes but no, something you cannot control, that is massively complicated, is obviously of far more importance for middle aged class warriors.
Anti Semitic incidents have increased massively, jewish people are afraid to openly display that they are jewish because of potential abuse, such is the overheated atmosphere created by people like you. I suspect the same has happened with Islamophobic ones too.
The whole situation is an absolute Shit show, no one is condoning the deaths of children or any innocent people for that matter, but the constant threads like this, with multiple name changing, accusations of genocide aren’t helping at all.

Idk ... Maybe it's because the last time Palestinians peacefully marched along the Israeli border 266 people were murdered and 30,000 injured.

What's that got to do with Hamas surrendering? I keep reading Hamas are not the Palestinians.

I'm not condoning the shooting btw, but realistically Palestinians are not going to be granted a right to return within pre 1948 borders. And also realistically, Israel won't be easing any blockades on a Gaza run by Hamas. We've all seen what happens when Hamas get into Israeli territory unchecked now.

Is there any reason why Hamas stop their rocket fire, hand over the hostages and surrender to Israel in order to secure a ceasefire and prioritise Palestinian lives?

Yes, Israel has been getting away with this stuff for years with total impunity.

In 2009 Israel bombed a United Nations-run school called al-Fakhura School in the Jabalia Camp in the Gaza Strip. According to UN and several non-governmental organizations, more than 40 civilians were killed. This is one of a few such bombings to even make it to mainstream media in the UK.

At first Israel claimed it was because militants were inside, then later admitted that this wasn’t true:

Sounds just like the bombing of certain hospitals, mosques and churches recently, ahem.

Notice how all the media reports on the ground in Gaza are quoting 400+ killed in today’s attack on the refugee camp, but the UK press are quoting only 50…

I’m not being defeatist. I’m marching, I’m sharing news, I’m writing to my MP, I’m funding Palestinian aid charities where I can, and I’m boycotting the supporters of genocide, and I’d encourage others to do the same.

Starbucks, McDonalds, and Walt Disney Co. stocks are still down after boycotts that have been lasting for more than two weeks.

Money talks.
