We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

DOHA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday total victory in Gaza was within reach, rejecting the latest offer from Hamas for a ceasefire to ensure the return of hostages still held in the besieged enclave.

Netanyahu renewed a pledge to destroy the Palestinian Islamist movement, saying there was no alternative for Israel but bringing about the collapse of Hamas.

"The day after is the day after Hamas. All of Hamas," he told a press conference, insisting that total victory against Hamas was the only solution to the Gaza war.

I wouldn't say "never".

Peace can happen but the Israelis need to remove Netanyahu and elect somebody who actually wants a two state solution. After that, there's a whole lot of diplomacy from both sides needed, free Palestinian elections, stolen land being returned, removal of blockades and control of infrastructure, and so on.

It's not impossible, just really, really difficult. Especially with leadership on both sides not being especially interested in peace. That's why Bibi needs to be slung out of office ASAP. Nothing good will happen while that monster has power.

You're right in general, but Bibi is a symptom, not a cause. The Israeli public has always been pro-genocide, and they're shifting to, not away, from the right. We need to recognize that a solution is only possible if the international community forces Israel to compromise.

They need to decide if the next asshole strongman who promises to keep them safe is worth their vote, because the current one has completely failed them.

No, because you're forgetting, Palestines don't want peace either. They'll accept any deal they can get. But a soon as they rebuild...

Bang fighting starts again.

Yes, well most of them.

It's literally in their fucking charter... Do you read?

NOT that Israel is any different, they don't plan on stopping until they have taken all that land... And probably finished the genocide their currently committing..
