Hamas Willing To Disarm...new position
- Thread starter Kusa

This is pretty much where every one of your posts seems to be going these days.
The problem is by that logic, presumably you would be against any peace settlement short of either a two state or one state solution, since it prevents more Palestinians being killed.
I'd like to think that isn't what you want to say, but it is a reading that will occur to many.

The big questions are really what happens after this ends.
Will Biden keep shielding Israel?
How do you fix Israel?
How do you keep those 2 million Palestinians alive?
Will this finally end?
Israeli truce proposal includes possibility of ‘restoration of sustainable calm’ in Gaza: Report
US news site Axios, citing two Israeli officials, reports that a new Israeli proposal for a possible deal with Hamas includes a willingness to discuss the “restoration of sustainable calm” in Gaza after an initial release of captives on humanitarian grounds.
According to Axios, the Israeli officials said the new proposal was formulated jointly by the Egyptian intelligence delegation and the Israeli negotiations team.
The new proposal is reported to offer a response to several of Hamas’s demands, including a willingness to allow the full return of displaced Palestinians to their homes in northern Gaza and a withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Netzarim Corridor, which splits the north of Gaza from the rest of the enclave.
Axios states that “the proposal also includes a willingness to discuss the establishment of a sustainable ceasefire as part of the implementation of the second phase of the deal”, which would take place after the release of the Israeli captives on humanitarian grounds.
This would mark the first time since Israel began its war on Gaza that Israeli leaders have shown an openness to discussing an end to the war as part of a deal to release the captives.
There is a long history on this board of people touting the line that "things should get worse so they can get better".
To me it sounded more like you were expressing frustration that it would probably take more deaths, which is why I asked (admittedly in a more confrontational way than necessary, perhaps).
But there are absolutely people who would say that a cease fire should be rejected because only more deaths would actually get enough international pressure on Israel to advance longer-term goals.

It's incredibly annoying to have to scroll down and find the post you are referencing.
Fine, though getting more people to read the Al J blog in general is never a bad thing.
Its one of the best sources there right now.
The xitter had some good video of the event.

All religions possess sacred texts advocating the killing of other faiths; this isn't exclusive to Islam.
In the bible. Luke 19:27
"Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and slay them before me" Is this meant for the Jews?
In the Talmud:
“It is permitted to take the body and life of a gentile.” — TALMUD: Sepher Ikkarim III c 25.
“It is the law to kill anyone who denies the Torah. The Christians belong to the denying ones of the Torah.” — TALMUD: Coschen Hamischpat.
There are more reports of ceasefire talks, hopefully they are true.
‘New momentum’ in Gaza ceasefire negotiations’: WEF chief
Efforts towards a truce in Gaza are making progress as the threat of an imminent ground attack on Rafah looms large.
Borge Brende, president of the World Economic Forum, said there is “some new momentum now in the talks around the hostages and also for … a possible way out of the impasse we are faced with in Gaza”.
The comments come during a summit that opened on Sunday in Riyadh, being attended by Blinken and high-ranking officials from various countries as they try to broker a ceasefire.

Tipping point to what exactly?
What is the appropriate foreign policy relationship you feel the US should have toward Israel?
So you would be ok with the US not prosecuting Israel, just not interfering?Holding them to the law, not protecting them from it.
No other changes in US policy?
Not interfering would be massive but of course cutting all funding to Israel would be great as well as registering AIPAC as foreign lobbyists.
So much could be done but even allowing the UNSC, ICC and ICJ to have some relevance would be a major win.
But that also depends on what you think can happen, should happen or will happen.
This is why I joined the cult of Cthulhu. He doesn't want anyone killing anyone. He likes to do the dirty work himself.
I see.Not interfering would be massive but of course cutting all funding to Israel would be great as well as registering AIPAC as foreign lobbyists.

So to achieve this end goal, your plan is to - presumably - propose support for whichever party moves towards this end goal?
