I agree with most of your comment, but I'll push back on a couple of things:
> No, the Israeli government does not want a ceasefire, neither a permanent one, nor a temporary one.
All the things you wrote before that are things that Israel explicitly says, that it won't agree to a permanent ceasefire. But this statement is your personal opinion, and I don't think it's necessarily justified.
> In the meantime, I do take Netanyahu at his words, that he does not want a ceasefire, and he wants in invade Rafah, to continue the genocide, and to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.
I think your phrasing on this is misleading, since it implies that Netanyahu's words are that he wants to "continue a genocide" and "ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians". That is incorrect. Are words are that he will invade Rafah, the "continue the genocide/ethnic cleansing" thing are your words, not his. (I highly disagree with using those words, but either way, my point stands.)
- runarberg 2y agoYou are right, actually. It is too late for me to edit, but from the second paragraph onward I needed to prefix with “I think”. Rereading it I can see how this is misleading, that was not my intention.
- edanm 2y agoThank you, and for what it's worth, I didn't think you were being intentionally misleading (just came out misleading in the phrasing).
