    Hamas has explicitly said they will never stop. So if they just ignore the ceasefire, what is Israel supposed to do, just let their citizens be killed? Regardless of why hamas is doing it, it’s going to happen.

    It’s almost like this is a very complicated situation that literally nobody on this website is capable of even coming close to fixing, but because life only exists as a binary now, anyone who doesn’t think identically to me is evil.

      The situation isn’t complicated. Israel is an ethnostate responsible for apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and countless other war crimes. The body count is entirely one sided with many more Palestinians dead and displaced. Of course Palestinians won’t stop trying to resist through whatever means are available to them. If it weren’t Hamas it would be some other group.

      The solution then is also not complicated. Israel can stop the indiscriminate bombing campaign. They could negotiate a settlement that would actually bring the hostages home. To end future conflict, they can dismantle the apartheid system.

      The complicated part is getting the Israeli state to actually do that. If the US continues to provide them with the resources they need to continue oppressing Palestinians, the Israeli government will never back down.
