Makes sense doesn’t it and exactly what is playing out now.
I’ve said before Israel has responsibilities towards the Palestinian people in all of this but there is no mention of Hamas. Israel could make this stop now but so could Hamas!
10:1 folks 10:1. If this was a media outlet you would all say (rightly) that it had an agenda.
I did misread “purity” you are correct as I was zooming in on a photo and it was pixelated. The point still stands. What has this got to do with socialism and its ideals. Reading their website i don’t even think they consider Hamas terrorists to start.
As for the civilian numbers. Goes without saying every death is a tragedy but I don’t have confidence in the numbers Hamas are reporting. They will be massaged for the political gain of Hamas.

Just a quick reply whilst waiting for the Mrs. But this stood out for me ,which I find incredibly annoying.
“ I didn't reference anything about the war on terror or comparisons to other conflicts so I am not sure why you are citing them in your reply to me? “
You didn’t. But NthSuffolkBlue did, and it was my reply to him that you jumped on and took one line about “if Hamas are to believed” and stripped the rest of that reply out of all context. So I put the context in.
That’s it from me for the day.
Because the context you've added there is irrelevant. I was talking specifically about your statement "if Hamas are to be believed", comparisons to other conflicts have nothing to do with that statement and you've now conceded that other agencies have roughly the same numbers.
If you want to compare to other conflicts then I've provided a more statistically reasonable way to do it that your simple linear comparison.
Have a good evening.

How could Hamas make it stop?

Interesting but sadly, already a couple of days out of date by the time it was published. This BBC report of a meeting of Arab and Muslim leaders in Riyadh last weekend:
The rapprochement between Israel and Saudi Arabia appears to be fizzling out, but worse still is a new improvement of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Add Túrkiye's diplomatic rebuff to Israel and you can see the remaining friends that Netanyahu's administration has (Jordan and Egypt mainly) encountering great difficulty with their own populaces and with other nations in maintaining any useful accord with Israel. Whether they are right or not to continue a dialogue is bye the bye however, the chances of peace that improves either Palestine's or Israel's positions seems to decrease by the day.

Let's flip that around and ask, would they bomb the safe areas they have been told to move to? Would they cut off fuel, water, food, and electricity? Would they continue to ignore the pleas of aid agencies to allow them to provide humanitarian aid?
There is a lot of propaganda going on from both sides as with any conflict but the clear actions of Israel's Government are not those of one that cares about the lives of Palestinian citizens nor even of Israeli hostages.
I'm not trying to defend the actions of the Israeli govt - particularly not what often seems to be revengeful indiscriminate bombing, bombing of safe areas or the cutting off of food, water and fuel. What I am doing is pointing out that this is not a genocidal attack with the goal of eliminating / eradicating the Palestinian people period. I realise things are emotive and everyone has strong feelings, but the language you used above is not helpful, peaceful, accurate or conducive to productive conversation.
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

Thanks for the link. If they twist the arm of the US, who in turn twist the Israeli Govt's thats not such a bad outcome, although I agree that peace seems far away.

Release the hostages and lay down their arms.
They also shouldn’t have been the catalyst for it, but that’s an inconvenient truth for most.

The catalyst ? Now there's a word that could lead us down a very deep rabbit hole, deep and dangerous.
A more pertinent statement, in fact a question, is why now ? Ten or fifteen years of an uneasy relationship with Netanyahu's administration could be explained by just running out of patience, but as they do not appear to have a military defence in place to repel the Israeli Defence Force then had they done any planning at all ?
But then we are told that Hamas have no regard for the people they have power over, that they take orders from the Iranian regime. So why have Iran instructed them to conduct an apparent Jihad now ? And is there a military response on the way from them ? Are we just arguing about the starter at the moment and we are in for a very unpleasant surprise when the main course is served ?

what is "revengeful indiscriminate bombing, bombing of safe areas or the cutting off of food, water and fuel." if not genocidal?
My problem with North Suffolk Blue's wording was the implication that 'Israel' is trying to 'eradicate Palestinians'. That would indeed be genocidal, but that is not what the current Israeli *govt* is doing. I asked for clarification, but NSB appeared to confirm that meaning (maybe in not so many words).
Whether what they *are* doing is genocidal is massive question - I can see why some people think it is, but have a few doubts, particularly given that Hamas does nothing to stop that suffering - if anything, they seem to make it worse. Can two waring entities collaborate in a population's genocide?

That wouldnt make it stop would it? Israel will continue to try to eradicate them.
Of course, many palestinians would say that those arms are the only thing between them and more "settlements". Rightly or wrongly, that idea is a powerful one.

The current israeli government is trying to coral 2m people into an area 10km by 10km, with no water, electricity, food or resources.
That IS genocidal.

I'm not to argue with that either way - accepting your statement as truth, its disgusting and wrong. But that's still a long way from 'eradication'.
Israel wish to eradicate the palestinian state/ homeland. That is clear and openly stated.
The 10km thing is not about "accepting the statement as truth". Its from the Israelis. First leave the North and head south. Then clear the big southern city and move west of it (the further order yesterday).

And then what, for the Palestinian people?
Negotiate a two state solution (which is massively contentious and complicated in itself and would require compromise on both sides no doubt). If necessary, the autonomy of Palestinian territory to be ensured by the UN.

Israel wont agree a two state solution. And once they pacify Hamas and have control over Gaza, they wont have to.

That’s bonkers and once again a completely fallacious accusation against the Israelis.
If Israel wanted to eradicate them it could and would have happened a long time ago. Do you not think?
Have you heard of the six day war? If they could do that in six days……
