In reply to the discussion: US envoy says Gaza ceasefire deal is on the table, urges Hamas to accept [View all]sarisataka
(21,691 posts)26. I know what Netanyahu has said
I also know what Hamas leaders have said.
I have also said that I am concerned for the plight of the Palestinians who are pawns of their own leaders and bear the brunt of Israeli attacks. An end to the conflict seems it would also be a de facto end to any ethnic cleansing, regardless of rhetoric. In the criticism of the offer, no one has presented any other option so far. Nor has anyone given a direct answer to my question of Israelis having to simply accept being victims of terrorists because they are Israeli.

OP
Israel is not offering an end to war without depopulation of Gaza. This would be a brief reprieve of sorts.

That doesn't justify a response of collective punishment where hundreds times more innocent lives are taken.

So the only way to "end the suffering" of Palestinians is to facilitate the ethnic cleansing plan?

I could give quotes of Trump saying US must take Greenland. Does that justify killing Americans?

This does not lead to end to the war. Netanyahu said only the ethnic cleansing plan would do that.
