Imagine having to make a deal with some of the worst people on the planet, knowing whatever decision you make the outcome is futile.

If Hamas agrees to release the remaining Israeli hostages, then they have no leverage against Israel, not that Netanyahu cared about the captives in the first place, but at least it was a small way to stop him from completely razing Gaza to the ground – killing everyone as well as the hostages.

All Netanyahu has to do is lie, one of his favourite pastimes, and accuse Hamas of breaking the agreement, and the genocide will resume and accelerate. What good is a free Palestine/Gaza without its civilians?

Thank you, Aaron. Your posts are highly valued.

As awful as the last two years have been, the one coming up will be just as bad for the Palestinians. There are about 1.5 million still alive in Gaza and nowhere for them to go. My bet is both Trump and Netanyahu thought they could force surrounding countries to take them as refugees and now they have a huge problem and the world is watching.

After the theft of their land, after the Nakba, after all the broken promises, all the death and destruction, after residing in Israel's concentration camp, followed by a genocide Trump simply could have ended it with, "I have a bridge in Brooklyn, I can sell you."

Garbage, All you Jew haters as usual flocking to Aaron’s claptrap. You probably want Ukraine to surrender in a war you blame THEM for, and Hamas to get a nuke and teach those hook-nosed SOB’s a lesson. How DARE they want to live in peace in their homeland??!!?? Oh right, the pretend national identity the Arab states marooned and used as straw men for 80 years are just reasonable people. A billion relatives with 10% of the world’s land mass can’t find a place for them except that microdot where the Jews live. The Jews are supposed to just shut up lie back and take it. You all are literally te old joke: Hitler meets Stalin in Hell. Hitler says to Stalin “What did you do to get here?” Stalin answers “Oh, among other things I starved 10 milion of my own people to death including the farmers, which made another 10 million people starve to death.” “Not bad” says Hitler. “What did YOU do?” Stalin asks. “Well among other things, I invaded Poland, killed 6 million Jews, and murdered a clown.” Answers Hitler. “A clown? Why did you murder a clown???” “You szeeee??? Hitler says. “I TOLD YOU NO ONE GIVES A FU**K ABOUT ZE JEWS!!!”

I don't hate Jews, but I do hate to see people slaughtered in a genocide, any people, past or present. You left out quite a few groups who were also sent to slaughter under Hitler, or do they not count? You do not service the Jews with your hateful rhetoric, but provide justification for more hate. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh lord please. There is no genocide going on in Gaza. Hamas started a war of extermination and has refused to give it up. As in Ukraine, all that has to happen is for Russia to leave. All that has to happen is for Hamas to walk out. If they don’t do it this week, they’ve sealed this discussion for all time.

NYK you just don't want to face the reality that Netanyahu and his crowd are implementing a genocide, and it matters not what you choose to call it, but the way the world see's it, I see it, and all but a few in the UN see's it, and you should care. Many, many thousands of jews have left Israel already and no doubt will never return. In the future no doubt there will be many more. Israel was warned on a number of fronts that Hamas was up to no good, but Israel did not listen. I hope you also hold them responsible as well. The war in Ukaine never had to have happened, and a deal could have been brokered in 2022. Look that up.

Youre all the same people who have been screaming for their blood for 50 years. And now you’re blaming the victims - they should have known!!! They didn’t listen!!! (The exact words a wife beater uses.). Good God. Look in the mirror. And YUP!!! Like clockwork, defending Putin, too. God I hope you arent an American.

And as for your idiotic comment about the other groups, I didn’t address them, so I didnt say they don’t count. They a haven’t been living under the threat of hundreds of millions of people with trillions of oil dollars looking to exterminate them for 80 years. Look at whats happening in Europe. Jews willl ALWAYS defend Israel. It is their ONLY lifeboat from people like you.And dont fool yourself. You absolutely hate Jews. Your post oozes with it.

This is my last response. You hatefully condemn people for disagreeing, as if they have no right to disagree with your perception of things. No more discourse, because I refuse to allow myself to be abused. Goodbye and good luck.
