    Arab world tells Hamas to lay down arms and end rule of Gaza - support UN force in Gaza

    Well, if you announced that UNLESS he agreed to a ceasefire, you would recognize the Donbass, what do you think it would do. None of you are willing to answer this question because the answer is obvious and embarrassing. The UK and France are encouraging HAMAS to continue the war, which is why...

    Arab world tells Hamas to lay down arms and end rule of Gaza - support UN force in Gaza

    No, Israel was able to fight HAMAS back into Gaza - however the point here is that both Putin and HAMAS are the aggressor, and are the actors refusing to allow the wars they started to end. And so, if you give someone who started a war one of the major goals of that war, does that tell them...

    Macron says France will recognize a Palestinian state at UN General Assembly this fall

    Worth a like :) And... so... we are left back in a position where Israel has historically offered the Palestinians peace and a two-state solution, and the Palestinians have rejected it and chosen violence instead. :-/ That's unfortunate, but it's true. The number that you are citing here...

    Arab world tells Hamas to lay down arms and end rule of Gaza - support UN force in Gaza

    And then (in some craven cases) rewarded them for their efforts. If we told Putin that invading Ukraine was ver, ver, bad, but, unless he agreed to a ceasefire in the next week, we would respond by recognizing Russia's right to the Donbass..... ....how do you think he would respond?

    Arab world tells Hamas to lay down arms and end rule of Gaza - support UN force in Gaza

    There is nothing too complex about simply ascribing value and worth to each human. I suppose you thought there was?

    Macron says France will recognize a Palestinian state at UN General Assembly this fall

    1. It is absolutely true that Israel is increasingly unwilling to accept a Palestinian state because they have been convinced by the past three decades that doing so would simply mean more death. It's interesting that thinking that peaceful coexistence is even possible is a distinctly minority...

    Macron says France will recognize a Palestinian state at UN General Assembly this fall

    Indeed. The ceasefire was over and therefore not - in fact - violated or "broken" by Israel engaging in operations. This description is not entirely accurate - Israel will indeed arrests "settlers" who attack and murder Palestinians, even if you and they think Israel does not do so as...

    Macron says France will recognize a Palestinian state at UN General Assembly this fall

    Well, yeah, you kind of did - you are arguing that we should not take the stated objectives of the Israeli government leading the war effort as their stated objectives, nor should we believe their apparent status as having lost strategic initiative and having to make this up as they go along...

    Is that why you refused to address the question I used to answer your own?

    Arab world tells Hamas to lay down arms and end rule of Gaza - support UN force in Gaza

    Nope. We've also been shown pictures of "starving Gazan" children in Yemen, "starving Gazan" children in Italy, and desperate "Gazan children" who also somehow managed to be Yazidi children of the same age from several years ago. The Italy kid is my favorite because he was medevac'd there...

    Arab world tells Hamas to lay down arms and end rule of Gaza - support UN force in Gaza

    Hm. Well, if a father in that situation decided there weren't enough resources for his family, and so he killed his 3 year old daughter, how would you respond? Probably the same way I would, here, as I think all human beings come with equally inherent worth.

    Macron says France will recognize a Palestinian state at UN General Assembly this fall

    OH. It's a secret evil plan that they've had on the shelf, and all of that "strategic surprise" we saw on Oct 7th was just a fake, as was the reactionary ineptitude when it came to critical parts of a modern conflict, such as the information domain. You are imposing fantasy over reality...
