Hamas and Israel agree to a cease fire in Gaza

End of the day, Hamas should be eradicated. The idea will persist in Palestinians absent a path to a way of life and acceptance in the international community. At the same time, Israeli’s need to forgive. Personally, I dislike a two-state solution. A secular state is the only way to not have a conflict over land.

 

I disagree. Israel can do more than what they have.

You don’t think the Biden admin has asked them to limit their attacks on civilians, hospitals, schools, etc.? Legit requests imo.

 

I saw that 2 were and both are dudes.

 

The Israelis have self imposed more restrictions in how they carried out this war than anything the US did in OIF and OEF. The only thing they are worried about is the US keeping up the arms sales.

 

If that’s legit I stand corrected.

 

If you are interested in hearing about it, let me know and I'll post the link to a podcast about it.

 

That’s ok. I believe you. Just see so much misinformation that I think is from legit sources. That’s why I said if.

 

Just curious on your thoughts on the 60
Minutes episode where they reported how the US approached the war early and the bombs deployed. Felt like Biden admin was liberal in arms and Israel was not as restrictive. Might be I misinterpreted the reporting.

 

Haven't actually seen it but I know a bunch of Israel friendly groups were very upset about it. The podcast I was referencing had a coupe US Federal Appeals judges that went over to Israel and were able to see the process they use for clearing strikes. Basically the Israeli JAG can cancel a strike where in OEF and OIF, it was still up to the US commander.

 

I thought I had heard 2 of the 3 were but things change frequently so won't really know until it happens.

 

You are correct. Two of the four American hostages are on the list for the first exchange.
