How many times if anyone can recall, times when occupier agree to ceasefire then wait several days or weeks, genocide will start again.

How about Netanyahu disavow the plan to retake Gaza and expel all the Palestinians.

That would weigh on anyones mind.

ONLY a Morally Bankrupt soul will watch this suffering and still think this is a self defense, As as one Israeli journalist put it We have this war long ago, Hamas is militarily crippled and what the IDF is doing now is just Cruel Revenge.

NEVER trust Bibi the Fox of the Middle East.

There is room in the land for both the Jews (who are there for 4,000 years) and the Arabs (who came there in the 7th century AD).

BS. The butcher of Gaza is losing untrained IDF with every incursion into Gaza. Unreported numbers like 50 to 100 IDF a day are not returning. Hamas defence of Gaza is making inroads into death numbers of the IDF. Along with the Houties capability of closing out Jaffa Airports is killing Israel and Hezbollah rebuilding has Israel more then on the back foot. Hoo Hah Hamas.

She did not detail its contents. But the New York Times quoted an Israeli official familiar with the proposal as saying the initial phase would include a 60-day ceasefire and humanitarian aid flowing through U.N.-run operations.

According to reports 10 hostages in exchange for a 60 day with the option to resume hostilities.

Nothing more than a chance for Netanyahu to calm protests within Israel over his prioritization of ethnic cleansing over the return of the hostages and to alleviate the global concern over Israel's starvation of the Palestinian population.

Israel usually breaks the ceasefire within a day or two.

Israeli Government has approved 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank and Ministers admit this is to ensure there will be no Palestinian state.

This at a juncture where many western countries are calling for recognition of a Palestinian state.

What would be a great irony if, somehow, the world insisted on ONE STATE for Jews and Arabs and the Jews lost their precious dominion over non Jews.

Israel has lost the PR war. Everyone can see this is a genocide.

Let me put it this way: If Piers Morgan can verbally thrash the Israeli Ambassador to the UK as he did just recently on his show, it's bad for the Zionist state.

-1 ( +12 / -13 )

Aly: They lost the PR war on the morning of day one when they the IDF slaughter 700 of their own. You would know this but you had people like Morgan in continuous interview as recently late April stating at the beginning of every interview "Do you condemned Hamas." Morgan and his lot could easy do research and report the truth instead becoming paid propagandist for the zionist. It is all their in the open. the ethic cleansing, the apartheid the gaoling and raping of children and the oppression of the Palestinian before 07/10 counter offensive. I am no historian but I easy did the research and found out the facts. Hoo Hah Hamas.

The head line story .......If the cease fire is happened then that is done by 'US says '

If the cease fire is rejected and did not happened then the headline will be like this ' Trump's cease fire rejected' and a big celebration follows with propagandists

Bibi could care less about Israel, the Hostages dead or alive, Americans, or anything in between this war criminal only cares about his survival.

Ending this Genocide means the END of Bibi's Government, it is in the best interest of Bibi's to keep these killings going.

Israel Intel is predicting that Hamas will REJECT this proposal for the simple fact that it does not Guarantee nor clearly state a road map to ending this genocide, it only guarantees the release of more hostages which is Hamas only Card.

If Hamas rejects which is what Bibi and his war mongers are praying for it gets Bibi of the hock and the killings along with starvation shall continue.

When Palestinians accept a plan, and Israel doesn't, it magically isn't because it doesn't meet Israel DEMANDS, but when the genocide regime accepts a version of its plans, and Palestinians hesitate it magically isn't because Palestinians have CONCERNS

Tell me more about how 22 new approved settlements in the West Bank helps this situation.

They should move to Jewish Autonomous Oblast in the far east of Russia. The Soviets established JAO for them in 1934. Problem solved.

Article 65 of the Constitution of Russia provides that the JAO is Russia's only autonomous oblast. It is one of two officially Jewish jurisdictions in the world, the other being Israel.[16] It is one of the few places in the world where Yiddish is a recognized minority language.

Israeli's, Hamas, and the rest of the world are demanding an End to the war and the full release of all 59 hostages dead and alive at once.

Bibi and his war mongers with their supporters are Playing games and setting up traps hoping to get as many alive hostages as possible released then the complete Reoccupation of Gaza.

Woody, there's over 20,000 hostages. The Jewish State In Palestine militants and their 'Christian Zionist' supporters may think that when most of the world says ALL THE HOSTAGES it doesn't mean those kidnapped by Mileikowsky. On the other hand, most of the world thonks it does.

The Jewish nation is an ancient Semite nation, which is rooted in the Middle East.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s Family Originally had the Surname Mileikowsky When They Came to Palestine from Poland in the 1920s. Mileikowsky name is not Jewish. It is a Polish surname. Therefore he is a true blood European.

Japanese Ainus and Taiwanese aboriginal people have some blood link with native Americans. However they are not legitimate to claim as native American. Same as European Jews, Asian Jews, North American Jews.

Every Israeli knows that he or she is the direct and exclusive descendant of a Jewish people which has existed since it received the Torah (1) in Sinai. According to this myth, the Jews escaped from Egypt and settled in the Promised Land, where they built the glorious kingdom of David and Solomon, which subsequently split into the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. They experienced two exiles: after the destruction of the first temple, in the 6th century BC, and of the second temple, in 70 AD.

Two thousand years of wandering brought the Jews to Yemen, Morocco, Spain, Germany, Poland and deep into Russia. But, the story goes, they always managed to preserve blood links between their scattered communities. Their uniqueness was never compromised.

At the end of the 19th century conditions began to favor their return to their ancient homeland. If it had not been for the Nazi genocide, millions of Jews would have fulfilled the dream of 20 centuries and repopulated Eretz Israel, the biblical land of Israel. Palestine, a virgin land, had been waiting for its original inhabitants to return and awaken it. It belonged to the Jews, rather than to an Arab minority that had no history and had arrived there by chance.

The wars in which the wandering people reconquered their land were just; the violent opposition of the local population was criminal. Starving new generation is an ethnic cleansing of entire race.

Before there was an ICC, there were ICTs.

The ICTY established that even if a group that had formerly had a historic homeland tried to 'take it back' from a people for whom it was now their homeland, it was still 'the worst' Crime Against Humanity to use military force against the civilian population to displace them.

The ICTR established that, when it comes to 'the worst' Crime Against Humanity, you didn't have to have fired a weapon, or ordered others to fire weapons, or provided weapons or cash used in the Crime, to be guilty of participating in that crime. All one has to have done is set the conditions for others to see that Crime as justified and YOU can be tried and convicted of Genocide.

Lots of people ignore those two precedents, but they are likely to be haunted by that for decades.

There are two nations in the land. They both deserve to live.
