No, I argued against proposals that were purely for show and not to settle for peace.

9 straw man claims
Israel has killed 171 UN workers so far.
From the river to the sea Palestine shall be free.
That's the chant.
Its quite telling that you are against Palestinians being free.
The UN released a report saying Israel is committing genocide.
You are backing genocide and apartheid and appear to think its antisemitic to be against genocide now.
The UNSC ceasefire calls for an immediate ceasefire and all hostages to be released for two weeks.
Israel won't even agree to that.
Clearly they don't want hostages back, they just want more genocide.
You living in your fantasy world again? I don't see any mention of two weeks. In fact it expressly says "Immediate"
1. Demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire, and also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, as well as ensuring humanitarian access to address their medical and other humanitarian needs, and further demands that the parties comply with their obligations under international law in relation to all persons they detain;
2. Emphasizes the urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance to and reinforce the protection of civilians in the entire Gaza Strip and reiterates its demand for the lifting of all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance at scale, in line with international humanitarian law as well as resolutions 2712 (2023) and 2720 (2023);
3. Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

The Hamas ceasefire resolution was adopted on March 25, 2024, following the abstention of the United States.

Also worth mentioning that Hamas once again rejected the Qatari/Egyptian/US ceasefire deal that Israel approved.
Recently, you attacked me for posting something without a source.
You just did the same thing.
Your response to Shack is that it was taken from someone else's post which included the source.
Same as the thread you attacked me about where posted content and someone else posted the source.
But you kept attacking me regardless even though I explained myself several times.
Can I attack you now? Like for about 47 pages worth like you did to me? Just to return the favour?
Israel has not ceased firing. No hostages can be returned until a ceasefire.You living in your fantasy world again? I don't see any mention of two weeks. In fact it expressly says "Immediate"

It is Israel that is the problem, not Hamas.
Israel was told to stop f'ng starving children to death.
They refused and you keep defending starving children to death.
I posted a chart from the same poll you linked to earlier in the thread and made a comment to that effect.

You will attack regardless in your rabid desire to defend starving children to death.

I never posted anything at all in this thread until my first post calling out your hypocrisy (post #50).
You did exactly what I did in that other thread. Then you continuously attacked me for not including a source.
So I'll ask again... Can I attack you now? Like for about 47 pages worth like you did to me? Just to return the favour?
Or will you just offer an apology like an adult?
No ceasefire can be made until hamas releases their hostages. See how easy it is to make excuses.
I know you think Arabs are sub-human but the ball is in Hamas' court. They can choose a ceasefire at any time they want but they keep rejecting the concept, desperately hoping that the Arab world will rise up during Ramadan and destroy Israel.
That's not the wording of the UN resolution.
Its states there must be a ceasefire and also the hostages should be returned.
Ceasefire first.
Israel chose to destroy a hospital that provided 30% of the health care in Gaza instead.
Israel chooses to starve a million children instead.
That's not what it says.
That is almost certainly what the Israeli government will use to excuse not participating in a ceasefire, but the UNSC resolution did not say the ceasefire was conditional on the hostages being released.
The UN Security council
Neither has to go first.
Both are demanded as immediate.
(And for the hostages, immediate and unconditional.)
Hamas can't say "the ceasefire has to go first" and Israel can't say "the hostages have to be released first".
Both probably will insist on that and then refuse to obey, but if they say that's what the UNSC demanded, it's bullshit from both sides.
Of course you can.
If the other side decides they don't want to stop firing and kill their own hostages, that's on them.
But you can have no ceasefire and just say "we will leave the hostages in the public square" if you want.
There is no requirement for a formal ceasefire in order to release hostages.
It's easier, sure, but no one needs a ceasefire to do it.
Frank also claims that the hostages loved being kidnapped and kept in dungeons and raped several times a day because Hamas are freedom fighters. So maybe it would be cruel to release them back to their homes and families?
Frank is actually a humanist.
In theory, in practice they walk into the kill zone and thats it.
Initial IDF probe: 3 hostages were shirtless, waving white flag when troops shot them
One of the 3 killed in tragic mistake shouted 'Help' in Hebrew; IDF says soldiers fired against protocols; on Wed., troops found 'SOS' and 'Help, 3 hostages' spray-painted nearby

Israel created 'kill zones' in Gaza. Anyone who crosses into them is shot
The Israeli Army Says 9,000 Terrorists Have Been Killed Since the Gaza War Began. Defense Officials and Soldiers, However, Tell Haaretz That These Are Often Civilians Whose Only Crime Was to Cross an Invisible Line Drawn by the IDF
I am of the firm belief the current Israeli government doesn't want the hostages back.In theory, in practice they walk into the kill zone and thats it.

But that's not the point.
You can, 100% release the hostages without a ceasefire.
Would it be better to have one?
Sure.
But it isn't necessary.
Sure, its possible.
If that's your point, sure, I admit its possible, just incredibly unlikely.
I agree that Netanyahu doesn't really care about the hostages, he's more interested in keeping the genocide going as long as possible to maintain power. Yesterday's attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria was a perfect example. He really, really wants to escalate this into a war he can drag the US into. So far Hezbollah have kept their reprisals small scale and this looks to have been an attempt to get Iran to respond in a way that he can justify as a start of war.
I also admit that I'm shocked that this has been allowed to go on as long as it has. Yesterday Israel killed 7 international aid workers, including a Canadian, delivering food in the middle of a famine. PeePee decided yesterday would be the day he makes a speech backing Israel. Totally nutso.
(7 died, not 5)
Hamas actions reasonable to you? Please answer and we'll find out if your statement is facts...Genocide supporters usually do.
