Let's hope Israel actually sticks to this ceasefire deal this time.
- myth_drannon 1y agoThat won't happen. Hamas will not disarm. So Trump promised F-35s to Qatar and Turkey and they managed to strong arm hamas into releasing the hostages. But the rest of agreement will not happen. Basically no one in Israel believes in that, NO ONE. For Hamas it's too sweet of a deal to trap Israel again into bombing campaigns since its power comes from deaths of its own people ( specially on the international stage) and also the coming elections in Israel, Netanyahu will need to show that Hamas is going to be eradicated (and with hostages back, the "left" will not have any problems with that).
- bobxmax 1y agoQuite an odd request to ask Hamas to disarm.
- raxxorraxor 1y agoIt absolutely isn't. They attacked Israel, got defeated and usually you would require an unconditional surrender. Basic laws of warfare. Hamas is an exception because it believes in martyr death and would drag the whole population in Gaza with them. That is new and unprecedented.
- bobxmax 1y agoYou're right. Mandela and the ANC should've disarmed. Basic laws of warfare.
- raxxorraxor 1y agoI am very excited to hear how that is relevant or comparable.
- bobxmax 1y agoYou are wondering why a case of so-called terrorists using violence against apartheid occupiers is relevant?
- myth_drannon 1y agoThere are no odd requests, just requests that will be fulfilled or not. Hamas could have asked Israel to disarm. The agreement is that Hamas will disarm. Most likely scenario is similar to Hizbollah in Lebanon. They didn't disarm as per agreement, hence no international aid flowing to Lebanon. Israel still controls South Lebanon and kills a couple of hizbollocks fighters on a daily basis.
- raxxorraxor 1y agoWhat a laughable suggestion. Sure, that is the problem... The reality is that Israel always extended a hand which Palestinians or their representatives more or less cut off immediately.
- bigyabai 1y agoDon't jump to conclusions before things play out. You can cite sources; we're all adults here, there's no need for pejorative "the reality is" moping without some proof. We'll see how things go, both sides have made their fair share of mistakes thus far.
