Presumably there are still some Hamas fighters alive there who manage to get off a few shots DemocraticPatriot Mar 30 #33

Battalions? Basic LA Mar 30 #93

Ok, so you can't imagine asymmetrical warfare taking place. Beastly Boy Mar 30 #101

Check out the defintions to the word. It's an accurate usage Torchlight Mar 30 #37

Does seem a bit one-sided...correction, quite a bit one-sided. brush Mar 30 #2

I agree it's more one sided, but Hamas fired eight rockets into Israel on Monday. LeftInTX Mar 30 #3

Aren't the rockets mostly hit-and-miss? If they hit something it's damaging... brush Mar 30 #4

Israel has an iron dome interceptor. The iron dome keeps the attacks from being destructive. LeftInTX Mar 30 #5

Yes, they're just about ineffective. brush Mar 30 #6

This is not sarcasm, is it? Beastly Boy Mar 30 #75

Ineffective, not aimable. Whatever the description. brush Mar 30 #79

It is the intent that determines culpability, not the incompetence. Beastly Boy Mar 30 #83

All that is probably true. But the other side seems just as content to go another 75 years of war too. brush Mar 30 #84

Not a word that I disagree with. But this is all besides the absurdity expressed in the OP. Beastly Boy Mar 30 #86

It's past that even. Both sides need to just get it over with already. Nothing good is coming from it. brush Mar 30 #87

It would be easier done than said if one of the sides in question wouldn't pledge in writing to do Beastly Boy Mar 30 #90

Both sides have to agree. Netanyahu is an actual in-the-flesh existential threat to Palestinians. brush Mar 30 #91

Israel already agreed to not be an existential threat to Palestinians. Beastly Boy Mar 30 #99

Let's deal with right now. Reps of both sides convene with Blinken, Qatar reps, UN reps, Jordan...whoever... brush Mar 30 #104

I think a pledge of being annihilated in the future Beastly Boy Mar 30 #107

No excuses. Palestinian's actual existence being obliterated right now equals existential pledges of anihilation in... brush Mar 30 #109

I wouldn't say that at all. Not quite the apt equivalency. Evidence does not support it. Beastly Boy Mar 31 #125

How can we get anywhere if past statements stop negotiations from happening? brush Mar 31 #126

This doesn't stop negotiations by any means. Beastly Boy Mar 31 #129

Be clear. Do you mean negotiations should start with all parties convened or not? brush Mar 31 #132

Negotiations always start with all parties. Not necessarily convened. Beastly Boy Mar 31 #133

In other words, no negotiations, no ceasefire, nothing since the Hamas factor can't be gotten around? brush Mar 31 #134

I was saying YES negotiations. And the Hamas factor CAN be gotten around. Beastly Boy Mar 31 #136

Good analysis of the situation. We'll see what happens. brush Mar 31 #137

I appreciate the opportunity and your coherent reasoning. It was a treat. Beastly Boy Mar 31 #142

What about competent at killing civilians? Basic LA Mar 30 #96

That's a whataboutism (obviously), but yes. Beastly Boy Mar 30 #103

Yes, Hamas is just harmlessly firing rockets into Israeli cities. Beastly Boy Mar 30 #72

Yes the Fighting continues in the Cha Mar 30 #48

but the point being (in answering the OP) is that Hamas has NOT stopped stopdiggin Mar 30 #15

And so does Netanyahu...both are obstacles to peace. brush Mar 30 #18

When did Netanyahu say TexasDem69 Mar 30 #54

Recently. It's not hard to find. He wants Gaza cleared. That's pretty evident. brush Mar 30 #71

"quite a bit one-sided." yes, most attacking forces prefer that for some reason EX500rider Mar 30 #40

Yeah Hamas has Shite for brains. 👺 Cha Mar 30 #50

Maybe they were counting on being able to turn around marybourg Mar 30 #55

Point taken. This better-armed neighbor seems to have opted for annihilation though. brush Mar 30 #73

If that was actually their aim the death toll would be in the hundreds of thousands by now EX500rider Mar 30 #81

Do you really think Netanyahu would hesitate at all if it weren't for US and world sanctions? brush Mar 30 #82

Surrender? Their suicide is secondary. Basic LA Mar 30 #36

The surrender or eradication of hamas is the main objective so it does not happen again EX500rider Mar 30 #42

Sacrifice the hostages then? Basic LA Mar 30 #43

Why, so it can happen all over again every decade? EX500rider Mar 30 #44

Assuming you totally trust Hamas to issue anything truthful EX500rider Mar 30 #25

Hamas themselves announced mortors and conventional arms attacks stopdiggin Mar 30 #13
