    Imagine if someone punched you over and over again in the face and said, “Sorry, I’ll stop.” You’d be happy that they’d stopped, but you wouldn’t like them or forget, especially because their friend is still currently punching you in the face.

      UK, France, Canada and Australia are all in the ICC: this mean both Hamas and Netanyahu are wanted criminals if any of these put feet on the ground of these nations.

      Netanyahu would be reasonably safe in China, Russia, USA and Hungary tho.

        Y’know what would be the best way to get rid of Hamas?

        Provide aid and policing. Help establish long-term stability. Prove that you’re on the same side as the people. Treat them as humans and not cannon fodder, unaffected casualties, or shields.

        Basically, the opposite of what Israel is doing.

        This is what boggles my mind when the right attacks anyone who is Pro-Palestine. Almost none are in favor of Hamas - they just recognize that most Palestinians are innocent people who just want to live in peace. We don’t have to kill hundreds of thousands of Palestinians or create a massive diaspora.

        The war feels a lot as if Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were on opposing sides. Yeah, I’d want Mussolini to win, but why did it have to be him?

        Hamas needs to be eliminated in order for long term peace to be established but we all know Israel isn’t going to stop there.
