Hamas invaded Israel 2023

[Brad Sallows]

Ahem (from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY))

Also,
11,000 dead Ukrainians in 20 months = genocide
But
35,000 dead Palestinians in 7 months ≠ genocide

Depends on which value of "genocide" you are using. One-off massacres are just one-off massacres. I don't mean they ought to be flippantly ignored; I mean that they aren't "genocide". The pronouncements of a bunch of people in suits and robes, or the rhetoric of journalists and politicians, don't change that.

And don't worry. I'll get to all of your incoming questions.

So was Hamas justified in breaking the existing ceasefire on Oct 7th and directly targeting and killing civilian women, men, children and infants?

This alone merits totally destruction of Hamas.

Here’s my response

Wow, Israel is slowly becoming a pariah state.
It's resorting to having its cronies in the US Congress explicitly threatening the prosecuter of the International Criminal Court (ICC):
“Target Israel and we will target you … you have been warned.”!!

I mean you know how guilty you are when you're threatening the court.

You are never a pariah state when the world’s most powerful state is backing you.

How true.

And the retribution will be severe. They never forget a friend nor an enemy.

a pariah state.

Now that's some top notch humor there....

As much as I am very pro Israel, I am happy to see this. Peace should always be given opportunity.

Same - but we all know what actor will kick and fuss and scream like a toddler being told "NO"

His silence is already damning.

Hamas is on borrowed time in any case. Temporary ceasefire, release of hostages, release of gaza terrorists in Israeli jails, wait a few months, finish the job in Gaza.

So you find time to post this, but completely ignore Goodgolf question 2 posts up. My what a well trained troll you are.

 

[Colin Parkinson]

I am not, as it will mean yet another generation of Israelis and Palestinians will have to live with terrorism. Either you crush Hamas as a organization or you will end up with a Hamas that can pretend victory and ruin the future of Gaza yet again.

Doesn't sound like there is actually an agreement here. "Hamas’s acceptance of a Egyptian-Qatari peace deal is a “ruse” designed to make Israel look like it is obstructing peace, an Israeli official has said. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said that the truce Hamas agreed to was a “softened” version of an Egyptian proposal that included “far-reaching” conclusions that Israel could not accept."

[Brad Sallows]

One-sided agreement doesn't mean anything.

I could write a ceasefire agreement that Hamas would probably accept: "Israel agrees to retire to the original partition plan borders and grant right-of-return to anyone claiming a resident ancestor alive in 1947."

Providing mutually-interested reinforcement to @brihard‘s original question posed to abduly85.

So @abduly85 …

…was Hamas justified in breaking the existing ceasefire on Oct 7th and directly targeting and killing civilian women, men, children and infants?

Hamas finds support in likely places.

I don't think this will go very well for the unions, long term.
