      Frankly, instead of a ceasefire, Israel needs to give greater consideration for civilian casualties. But HAMAS has got to go and a ceasefire will only drag things out.

        Maybe they should be having a serious conversation with the Qatari government. You know, where the Hamas leadership actually is.

          Israel only has one type of “serious conversation” and it usually involves explosives.

          Honestly surprised things haven’t started going boom in Qatar. They weren’t shy about doing it in Beirut.

              Thanks for the reply, I’m reading it right now. I deleted my original comment because within 5 minutes of writing it as I got a weirdly threatening DM about being an antisemite. I probably shouldn’t have though, this is exactly what these internet weirdos want.

              For anyone that can’t see my original comment, I asked @Barbarian@sh.itjust.works for some neutral reading material as all the information outlets around this topic are wildly biased and skewing towards anti-Semitism or anti-Palestine/Islamophobic rhetoric depending on where in the world they’re located.

          Eh, the Hamas leadership is Iran, i don’t like Qatar, but they do a pretty decent job at negotiators in that case.

          I just hope usa does usa magic in iran for stealing a ship and troubling world trade with the Yemeni rebels.

        Yes, greater consideration of civilians is necessary, but Hamas uses them as meat shields intentionally, so casualties are basically unavoidable. A ceasefire would just benefit the Hamas terrorists and cause prolonged suffering for the civilians that don’t get access to food, water and Medicare in a war zone (wich they should have left months ago… But that’s a different story)
