I’d rather argue they are willing to do so - in the hope for permanent ceasefire and peace. Anything to stop the bombing, dying, starvation and everything else.

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

Israel has no intent to stop the bombing and starvation. That's why they have rejected any permanent ceasefire in exchange for hostages and insisted on only temporary ceasefires

Let's be honest though: if Israel stopped bombing immediately, do you think Hamas would stop randomly bombing and mortaring Israel? Sure, Israel is fucked up, but there's a certain point where Palestine needs to realize they'll never have peace with Hamas always looking to fight someone. It's like complaining about the crime in your neighbor but you refuse to tell the cops where the local drug house is even with all the anonymity that technology offers.

No, of course they would not. They're fighting to get their land, homes and human rights back and Israel is preventing all of it.

This argument is absurd. Because Israel started the entire conflict in 1948 (together with Britian if I remember correctly by ''giving'' the land).

Israel became an actual state in 1948 by displacing 750 000 Palestinian people and murdering many (men, women and children). Laying sieges, bombarding villages and population centers, setting fires to homes, properties and goods. Planting mines among the rubble to prevent any of the expelled people from returning (source: The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by ilan Pappé).

Hamas did not exist until 1987, they became an actual group only in 1987 because of all the horrifying things Israel had done from 1948 up until 1987. Which is approximately 40 years after what Israel had done to the Palestinian people.

If Israel never done any of this, Hamas would not even exist. They merely became an actual group to get normal human condition. Israel went hard into that and thus Hamas become more and more aggresive. Do I agree with their methods? Definitely not but it is understandable. If peaceful revolution is not possible, violence revolution is inevitable. Push a person or a group enough and this will happen.

Since almost all countries are turning a blind eye, what do you want Hamas to do (Wait, get humiliated and die)?

Also peace without Hamas? What peace are you talking about? Do you mean this kind of “peace”;

  1. Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center.
  2. Death toll in Israeli attack on displaced Palestinians in Rafah rises to 45.
  3. Israeli forces’ systemic denial of fair trial rights to Palestinian child prisoners amounts to arbitrary detention.
  4. Israel prevents hundreds of worshippers from entering Al-Aqsa on first night of Ramadan.
  5. Israel's PM Netanyahu 'proud' of preventing establishment of a Palestinian state.
  6. Far-right minister says nuking Gaza an option, PM suspends him from cabinet meetings.
  7. Israel Defense Minister Calls Palestinians ‘Human Animals’ Amid Israeli Aggression.
  8. Video shows Israeli settler trying to take over Palestinian house.

Hamas even said they would lay down their weapons if an independent Palestinian state is established.

EDIT: instead of downvoting, I’d love to hear a counter argument (from people, I haven’t blocked. Saw someone commented but must’ve been someone I blocked. Because, I can’t see/ open the comment). And if you do, give reliable sources otherwise it is just an opinion.

The earliest recorded history on this land that you are saying belongs to Hamas was written in Hebrew by Israelites.

And Hamas knows this, because when they dig tunnels and find old artifacts which reflect the Israelite history, Hamas intentionally destroys them.

Israel has destroyed over 300 historical sites in Gaza in just the last year

As usual, you post an irrelevant link and say nothing to address the point I made, which refuted the lie you told. How do you even get yourself out of your house in the morning?

If Israel stopped bombing immediately and there were assurances Israel would actually follow the UN ceasefire plan? Yes. Palestine has been under Israeli Occupation since 1967, Settler Colonialism is incompatible with peace. Hamas and the Israeli Government being held accountable for their war crimes and a plan to dismantle the Apartheid is necessary. I don't see any way towards lasting peace besides a Bi-National One-State Solution

After the founding of Israel, the Two-State Solutions were utilized to further annex the Palestinian Occupied Territories and enact military control over Palestinians while denying them human and civil rights. This is apartheid. Despite this, both Fatah and Hamas have accepted a Two-State Solution on the 1967 borders, with the two most important factors being the Right of Return of Palestinian refugees and an end to the permanent occupation.

Oslo Accord Sources: MEE, NYT, Haaretz, AJ

History of peace process - The Intercept

The settlements represent land-grabbing, and land-grabbing and peace-making don’t go together, it is one or the other. By its actions, if not always in its rhetoric, Israel has opted for land-grabbing and as we speak Israel is expanding settlements. So, Israel has been systematically destroying the basis for a viable Palestinian state and this is the declared objective of the Likud and Netanyahu who used to pretend to accept a two-state solution. In the lead up to the last election, he said there will be no Palestinian state on his watch. The expansion of settlements and the wall mean that there cannot be a viable Palestinian state with territorial contiguity. The most that the Palestinians can hope for is Bantustans, a series of enclaves surrounded by Israeli settlements and Israeli military bases.

What a nonsense conspiracy theory.

Israel has rejected Hamas's ridiculous offerings for "peace" because there will not be peace in Gaza until Hamas surrenders or is destroyed. On what planet do you think anyone is going to give terrorists their own state?

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

What part of the Three-phase plan from the UN Resolution do you find ridiculous? Apartheid is maintained by terrorizing civilians

Phase one includes an “immediate, full, and complete ceasefire with the release of hostages including women, the elderly and the wounded, the return of the remains of some hostages who have been killed, and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners”.

It calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from “populated areas” of Gaza, the return of Palestinians to their homes and neighbourhoods throughout the enclave, including in the north, as well as the safe and effective distribution of humanitarian assistance at scale.

Phase two would see a permanent end to hostilities “in exchange for the release of all other hostages still in Gaza, and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza”.

In phase three, “a major multi-year reconstruction plan for Gaza” would begin and the remains of any deceased hostages still in the Strip would be returned to Israel.

The Council also underlined the proposal’s provision that if negotiations take longer than six weeks for phase one, the ceasefire will continue as long as negotiations continue. No territorial change

In the resolution, the Security Council rejects any attempt at demographic or territorial change in the Gaza Strip, including any actions that reduce the territory of the enclave.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

The part where Israel withdraws all its troops. Lol. Palestine may someday be a real state, but it's not going to include Gaza. Hamas forfeited Gaza last fall.

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Israel is currently engaging in genocide and you want them to continue occupying Gaza, that's insane

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Who else is going to govern Gaza? Not like anyone living there has any experience running a legitimate government. They don't even have the equipment to rebuild. Egypt isn't going to do it.

If you believe Gaza has anything less than at least 4 years of Martial law in its immediate future, I think that's insane. It's self delusion.
