“Israel intensifies bombing of Gaza, killing 89 Palestinians in 24 hours
At least 15 people queueing for food among the deaths, and five people reported to have died from starvation” - Guardian

And many of them children no doubt. When will this sick government stop its mass murder of the Palestinian people?

Unfortunately it’s much more about land grabbing for Israel, see also the huge rise in government sanctioned settler violence in the West Bank.

Regardless of what Israel will achieve as a result of this war, do you seriously think Hamas are going to get better terms agreed the longer it continues? Settler violence is terrible but the war has encouraged this to increase not paused it. So again, what do Hamas gain from allowing the fighting to continue?

It seems to me that Israel could potentially gain more land etc the longer the war goes on. The time for Hamas to surrender is long overdue. I have read they have expressed a willingness to start negotiations again so I hope that’s true and the 2 sides can finally agree a deal before things get even worse for Gazans.

Absolutely! If only…..

Gaza doesn't have a great record of using aid to build a decent future for its people.
I want nothing more for Gaza than a government with the best interests of its people at heart. Hamas isn't that. There's no future for Gaza with Hamas in charge. Gaza needs a different government for a proper reconstruction plan. Can we at least agree on that?

Just redirect the tens of billions it sends to kill Palestinians into something a bit more constructive.

If you were in government, would you want the responsibility/ cost of rehabbing Gaza?

It's not genocide. But it is a pointless war which will damage Israel possibly beyond repair.

Well Hamas could stop them by ceding to all their demands.

Is it time yet?

In that case this alleged genocide will take Israel about another 80 years to complete.

Most genocides are a bit quicker than that.

Don't worry @HellsBalls things will start getting quicker now . More Palestinians will start dying in bigger numbers as the starvation and malnutrition set in.
Shouldn't take as long as that for the place to be cleared out at all.

They will carry on killing until there are very few left alive I suspect, because no one is stopping them 😡 A genocide being boldly committed in front of our eyes.

Who is voting YABU?

The lurkers clearly
45% of voters
Shocking isn’t it. Clearly they know their vote is shameful or they’d speak up and justify their votes

At least Dairydebris has got the guts to speak up ( whether we agree with them or not )

Another 15 people who wouldn't be dead had Hamas surrendered yesterday.

When will enough be enough?

So the IDF who are bombing and shooting the Palestinians are absolved of all blame in killing innocent Palestinians?

Sick.

I assume you are referencing the latter part, not the babies being Hamas...

Re the latter part - because Netenyahu has said so. Or at least he's repeatedly refused to say that the war will end when the hostages are released. Israel also broke the ceasefire at the start where they'd need to start withdrawing, even though hostages were being released in line with the agreement (broadly anyway), which shows how low down the priority list they are.
