They're doing a great job, millions of israelis have now been displaced, 70% of homes in israel have been destroyed, tens of thousands of dead israelis, no operational hospitals in israel... damn. We need to stop hamas by all means necessary.
I agree, Hamas is really bad, so Israel can do just about anything they want with impunity.
No, Israel cannot do about anything they want. And actually, they don't.
He didn't actually say anything at all about getting rid of the Jews from Israel.
Basically all of their propaganda leads up to this, it's embarrassing.
It's such an interesting remark. What do they want to do that they aren't doing?
Indeed, the past three months have shown their immense restraint.
But keep up gaslighting, fighting windmills and justifying the unjustifiable. It doesn't bring much to the discussion but it's at least entertaining.
I am sure they would like to negotiate. But there is no partner to negotiate with at the moment. So they cant.
So you can type, not just post emojis. How nice. I am happy that you find this topic entertaining. It says a lot about you.
Doesnt change anything on the validity of the statement.
Congratulations you just brought home the gold in mental gymnastics.
Poor old Israel. If only there was someone to negotiate with, they wouldn’t have to slaughter thousands of kids.
A full on ethnic cleansing without (some) push back from allies.
Giggsy PO is an interesting one. I know people who are very pro Palestine. People who are very pro Israel and who's argument is that Palestinians should be punished and are quite explicit in this viewpoint. People who don't care. People who are distraught at the whole situation.
They are basically the only person who is still parotting the line that they're against civilian casualties but this is all inevitable and Israel are actually trying to be restrained in their response.
I suspect their actual viewpoint, especially considering the people they've posted, is the pro punishment view, but just isn't quite brave enough to explicitly say so. At least fearless was explicit in their views.
Oh, I can type. The thing is that your posts are so disingenuous and disconnected from the reality that they generally don't warrant more than an emoji.
I find your posts entertaining, not the topic. Small difference I know, but still a difference.
How do you think the only hostages released so far bar one were released?
And who do you think Israel wants to negotiate with?
I assumed he was Fearless. There's no chance that lad had just one account and their baiting and disappearing style is very similar.
It takes a very specific type of person to be so entrenched and one sided whilst small children and babies are dying.
That's utter horseshit. It doesn't explain the goings on in the West Bank or nearly every statement coming out of Israel contradicts your statement of them wanting to negotiate. It also doesn't explain why that they only agreed to ceasefires under immense pressure from the US and other countries.
Nice try though.
Yep, that's what I found interesting about that comment — it suggested that Israel wanted for something even more brutal to happen than what's been happening. Which is a weird thing to say if you're so obviously pro-Israeli.
But turns out the only thing that they can't do (but desperately yearn for) is negotiate. As can be easily deduced from the words of the head of their National Security Council

Do you want me to do an average word count per comment on you two?
Calm down @Damien
I mean how do you negotiate with people in power who historically have boasted about destroying the prospect of Palestinian statehood, believe all the land should be homogenised into Israeli territory, and continue to ramp up illegal settlement activity in occupied territories? Right now the only thing they're willing to negotiate on is which countries will take on the Palestinians they're wanting to ethnically cleanse.
Damien has the consistency and the pedigree, but my highs (or lows, depending on the perspective) are very competitive.
The results are in.

Smileys and Bill Maher videos not counted.
Giggsy, if anything, you are doing counterservice to Israel with what and how you post.
What's the threat?
Don't contextualize it or I will consider you a member of Hamas.
I can not believe you believe the words coming out of your mouth
, are you trolling?No, it is false, Israel rejected a historical chance to get recognised by almost every arab state and end this stupid conflict by refusing to give the Palestinians their state on the borders of 1967 in two proposals, 2002 and 2008.
That's the interpretation? Seems like a reach.
You gotta respect people who lay it out straight.
