because tragically it is not over.

Netanyahu isn’t capable of doing two things at once *maremia”? , how do PM’s cope with anything which involves more that one country .?

So, that is two objectives Oreo,
eliminate Hamas
Hostages handed back
I wonder which one is the priority?

If rescuing the Hostages had been Netanyahu's priority, their release and return could have been achieved ages ago.
Why do I think this?
It is because every time there was an agreed 'return and ceasfire', Israel broke the terms. And this was stated in numerous newscasts.
The Hostage families continue to hold protests in Israel.
Netanyahu went all the way to The White House , ostensibly to arrange a 'return and ceasefire', but what he did instead was to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Netanyahu is a past master at deflection.

It reads as defence of Hamas, may not be what you meant but
it certainly reads that way, and “Hamas has said for months”
Hamas has a strong and powerful voice in all this nightmare

FGS Annie of course it's not a defence of terrorists, it's a statement of fact. Nope they have not become victims either, they are a terrorist group that have committed the most terrible acts of murder and rape.

Anniebach Sat 12-Jul-25 08:28:05

“Hamas’s only card” , this is defence of terrorists , they have now become seen as victims

foxie48 Sat 12-Jul-25 08:20:37

Refusing to agree to a permanent ceasefire is Netanyahu's trump card because he knows it will keep the war going and not returning all the hostages is Hamas's only card, hence the complete impasse. Hamas has said for months that they would return the hostages if Israel agreed to a permanent ceasefire. There was an IDF soldier on the radio yesterday talking about the soldiers like him who are refusing to fight and some of them who are finding reasons not to fight. He says he's doing it "for the soul of Israel". He's seen too many things that do not sit with his conscience as a soldier.

Israeli actions encourage radical opposition. They will always find themselves dealing with a “Hamas” whatever the name. Look at Lebanon so many radicalised Palestinians. It will go on and on, until Israel changes its attitude towards those whose right to land is as legitimate as theirs.

Do tell, what land were Jews trying to take leading to the Holocaust ,

Oh annie you are letting your posts run away with you. Get a grip for heavens sake.

Unfortunately, and I know we should not refer to previous threads, but it came up, and I ask because I do not know this,
does anyone know if the majority of voters in Israel actually approve of this Genocide?
I know there are those who do not, but of course the majority will prevail.

You know you should not but do so

No stopping until the hostages, alive and dead are handed back by hamas.

And regardless of what you or I think, Israel has its objectives and will carry on until hamas is no more and can’t ever be a credible threat again.

In that case it will be fighting for eternity. Israel had better get used to a perpetual war.

Hamas is just about over, as is Hezbollah and their bankers Iran have had to take a back seat.
There will always be some insurgents sure, but as a government and a quasi military force hamas is beaten.

Yes, it is beaten, so why doesn't Israel just stop?

What is for sure is that the ideas which inspired Hamas will persist - and will persist for many generations.

I wish you were right about the extremists Oreo, but the ones in power are the ones who count just now.
And too many of them want Amalak.
Until those who oppose Genocide come into power, hopefully if there is an election, and the sooner the better, the IDF will continiue with their atrocities.

Israel has lost its protection from criticism which it has had since the last war. No one wanted to be called anti semetic but that boat has sailed,

Maremia Fri 11-Jul-25 19:42:51

So, since Hamas is all but defeated, and Israel has such an array of manpower and munitions and armaments and spy technology and food and water and the army is not starving,
why are they still killing children, who do not even look as if they are of any threat?
GENOCIDE

There will be a few very right wing who hold those views, most do not.
I won’t be able to convince, nor will I try, those pro Palestinian posters who from day one just about have held anti Israel government views.
I’m not happy with everything Israel does btw and think what the settlers have been allowed to get away with in the West Bank is outrageous.

'Israel has its objectives', could it be that objective is the elimination of the people of Palestine?
Oh, why on earth would I think that of the Israelis?
Could it be that there is evidence to show that powerful Israeli poilicians have stated so?
Could it be that there is documented evidence that Israeli soldiers have testified to that effect?

Could it be there isn’t

Do you deny that those powerful Politicians have said that they wish to drive out the Palestinians from Gaza by whatever means?
I have given you so much evidence of what I believe to be true., from TV, MSM, research. Perhaps it is your turn to reciprocate, and convince.

Probably about as realistic as expecting Israel to eradicate Hamas. hmm
