    Hamas could surrender and end the war right now. It’s 100% on Hamas now.

      Israel could surrender to Hamas. But I’m sure you have some reservations about that outcome. Strange how you wouldn’t consider palastinians reservations to that as equal. Or maybe you don’t need to operate on the concept of unconditional surrender just to justify your dick wagging

              Which we can keep tracing back to ceasefires that keep being broken by israel such as the Al Aqsa raid.

              Point is that the notion that this somehow started on oct7 while israel was bombing Gaza just two weeks before is ridiculous. There was no ceasefire at the moment of the attack.

                My understanding is that Hamas has also repeatedly broken ceasefires. It doesn’t seem like the ceasefire agreements are as effective as they should be.

                  Because israel keeps attacking the west bank. They just can’t help themseles from not doing ethnic cleansing. Or claiming Hamas fired a rocket and just attacking Gaza.

                    I am by no means an expert, but I’ve been hearing about the conflict from both sides for several decades now. My take away is that both sides seem ideologically opposed to the existence of the other.

                    If Israel stopped all aggression today, I don’t think it would stop the rockets; likewise Palestine could halt all aggression and still be attacked by the IDF. Lasting peace will require a shift in perspective, which gets harder to imagine with every day of the invasion.
