How can the world governments exert pressure on Hamas? They have no connection to Hamas. They can pressure Israel because they are funding them, but Hamas is blacklisted. There is no evidence the current aid is going to Hamas and Israel inspects it That was just Israel’s claim, both sides used violence during the ceasefire. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israeli-troops-fire-at-palestinians-attempting-to-return-to-northern-gaza-during-cease-fire

Except declaring them a terror organization and refusing to agree to a political solution with them on that basis would just lead to them using violence since that is the only option, which is what happened.

Yes But they wanted idf women and rejected Hamas’s counter offer

The majority of Gazans said they regretted voting Hamas after they won the election, they only voted to protest the PLO which was corrupt and not effectively negotiating for a state because Israel was blocking it. Israel’s government than purposefully supported and strengthened Hamas to divide the Palestinians. Prior to the war the majority of Gazans disapproved of Hamas, only after Israel started bombing do a slight majority approve. Way more approve in the West Bank but again that’s because Israel blocks any chance at freedom in a state for them and forces them to abide by the corrupt PLO. If you have a problem with Hamas, you have a problem with Israel’s policies, they are interconnected.

Hamas didn’t break it, Israel rejected Hamas’s offer for the hostage exchange to extend the ceasefire because Israel wanted them to release IDF soldiers. Israel is not interested in peace either, that’s the problem. They’ve been strangling Gaza for decades with the idea that they can just bomb them every time they attack, putting their own citizens at risk over negotiating. no one in the west can support Hamas, it’s illegal to send money to a group the US designates terrorists. Donating to aid to Palestinians isn’t helping Hamas, its trying to stop civilian deaths. Hamas offered to release all hostages if Israel released all Palestinians they have in prison, most without charges, Israel refused. The US can’t put any pressure on Hamas because they have nothing to bargain with.

Westerners cannot put pressure on Hamas, they have no connection. Tactically it only makes sense to pressure the US government as they are supporting Israel which is currently bombing Gaza and have killed multiple hostages as well as putting the rest at risk.

The girls pictured here were IDF soldiers https://www.timesofisrael.com/presumed-captive-daniella-gilboa-identified-by-the-shirt-she-wore/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/taken-captive-liri-albag-seen-in-hamas-video-being-abducted/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/taken-captive-agam-berger-seen-being-led-to-a-car-still-dressed-in-her-pajamas/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/taken-captive-karina-ariev-told-parents-continue-your-lives/ it’s unfortunate Israels government puts its own youth at such risk by refusing to agree to a peaceful solutions with Palestinians and expecting their young to face the brunt of the attacks as a result

Interesting, a politician in Israel has backed the genocide charges. But it looks like he’s about to get kicked out of the Knesset for it. He seems to believe Israel is headed towards a civil war.

Title: What Does Hamas ACTUALLY Want?

The one child policy probably had minimum effect on birth rate, it was already declining. Taiwan didn’t have the policy and their birthrate is even lower.

Given that Israel was blockading Gaza and refusing to let them out, forcing them to stay inside where many had no access to food or clean water, and Israel has bombed Gaza many times throughout the years, by your logic Oct 7 was justified because they have the right to attack those who were attacking them. So why are you upset about Islamic extremist terrorism? Why can’t Al Queda say it’s ok to commit terrorism towards any secular western country because some secular western country attacked theirs? Can Hamas say they are justified in attacking Israel because the USA attacked Iraq and their response is never going to be logical and it’s the US’s fault for attacking Iraq? You are truly contorting yourself into absurd positions to justify your massive double standard. So why don’t you say Israel and the US governments deserve to be exterminated and if any children there are massacred it’s their fault for supporting terrorists? Your logic seems to be the US and Israel are allowed to massacre and torture Muslim countries, even if they do it to a country like Iraq which never attacked nor threatened the US it’s still ok because 9/11 happened and the US can’t be expected to be rational. Yet when the middle eastern rebel groups attack, even if they’re directly attacking the groups that are harming them, it is by default terrorism and they must all be exterminated. it’s just an absurd ideology. It also doesn’t work. You have gotten your way for decades. The US and Israel have bombed and attacked many middle eastern countries and collectively killed millions. Yet terrorist groups and dictators are as large and powerful as ever. What exactly has the US gained security wise from its Middle East misadventures? Does that compensate for the loss of trillions of dollars and thousands of lives?

That number is just from women rating the mens faces. Women will still date from that 80% even if they don’t find their face initially attractive.

1. If terrorism is defined by bombing indiscriminately, by your own metric Israel is a greater terrorist state as its ratio of civilians to combatants killed is much worse than Hamas 2. what you are saying makes no sense, why would Hamas attack Iran when it is supplied by Iran. Present your evidence that Hamas and Isis are the same, just saying they both have extremist Islamic beliefs is not proof. If you actually studied their ideology you’d realize how ridiculous it is to say they are the same. Hamas has never attacked outside of historic Palestine. Isis has beliefs like wanting to bomb the Kaaba which Hamas considers sacred. It’s just a silly propaganda claim. They have different leaders, different funding, different goals, and there is 0 evidence of any collaboration between them. ISIS declared war on Iran and Hamas wouldn’t survive without Iran. Would you say USA = Australia, because they are both secular republics? And if someone wants to destroy one they should automatically try to destroy the other because it’s the same?That would actually make more sense since at least those two collaborate and are stated allies. 3. What terrorism did Iraq do to the US that justified attacking them? 4. Israel at one point funded Hamas purposefully to divide the Palestinians, so by your logic Israel funded terrorists.

1. if Hamas is ISIS why did ISIS just bomb Iran, Hamas’s biggest ally? 2. How many countries has Hamas bombed compared to how many countries has Israel bombed? Does this give the appearance Hamas is the one that’s a threat to world peace? 3. The US had the strongest military in the world and invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, did they liberate them from war by causing more war? What gives a foreign country the right to “liberate” the Middle East?

I don’t follow, in sex both people consent, it’s usually the man expected to make the first move so it leans towards the woman giving because he’s asking. But generally it’s a mutual give and take from both sides. Anyway that is true, but notice how the same logic isn’t applied in the scenario where a woman isn’t getting investment from a guy, the conclusion is he is selfish and she shouldn’t have to improve his behavior, whereas when the man isn’t getting what he wants the conclusion is he should assume he plays a hand in it and alter his behavior to see if it changes her.

So you brought up sex as another example. Let’s say a man posts here saying his girlfriend doesn’t sleep with him that often and he asks her once and she says no because she’d rather eat a chocolate. Would you also tell him to break her chocolate and throw it at her than dump her because he deserves better? That she isn’t respecting his masculinity and doesn’t deserve a man because she isn’t giving sex?

So you feel entitled to a man’s money and if he doesn’t give it you will react in destruction of property and violence, how stage green of you.

The military industrial complex has no bounds for its failures. In just our life time it had us invade Iraq, a country that had not attacked nor threatened to attack us, all we accomplished was massively increasing terrorism and Iran’s influence. It has us occupy Afghanistan, only to replace the Taliban with a much stronger Taliban. Not to mention toppling Gadafi and massively expanding civil wars like in Syria. And now Ukraine. The best time to end the Ukraine war was the beginning. When Russia’s initial invasion failed, all we would have to do is have Ukraine offer to give Russia the border areas with majority ethnic Russians (who probably want to join Russia anyway), and not join NATO. Russia reeling from seeing just how unprepared and incompetent its military was, with no idea how much support NATO could give Ukraine, would probably have agreed and ended the war then. But instead the US repeatedly blocked negotiations, NATO arbitrarily declared the war aim to be to completely drive Russia out, and anyone who disagreed was called a Russian shill. Meanwhile no actual plan or timeline for victory was presented. https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/u-s-repeatedly-blocked-ukraine-peace-deals-is-it-rethinking-its-strategy-yet/ So what is the current situation? 1) Russia is arguably even stronger now and more motivated to continue the war. Their military budget has swollen to a huge amount and their personal is over a million and set to expand. They’ve made deals with other countries to bypass sanctions and send weapons and supplies. Thanks to the heavy sanctions Russia is only staying afloat because Putin can tell his population he’s defending them from the west and giving them jobs and pensions for the military. His rule is at more risk if the war ends if anything. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/11/30/putin-seems-to-be-winning-the-war-in-ukraine-for-now 2) the US already allocated over 100 billion for Ukraine and is having difficulty in congress to send more. The rate of Americans supporting sending aid is lowering. 3) Ukraine has lost so many men the average soldier is over 40 years old now. They’re going to start drafting the elderly and women at this rate. https://www.businessinsider.com/average-age-ukrainian-soldier-43-amid-personnel-problems-2023-11?amp In summation, once again our leaders have completely incompetently wasted hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives to just make the situation worse… They will probably have to move towards negotiations when it is clear this can’t continue , but the negotiation position is awful now, it’s possible Russia will demand most of Ukraine if he’ll even negotiate at all, Putin now sees he can get away with losing immense amounts of men to no internal backlash and can probably outlast NATO. The fact that the US citizens still are electing Iraq war supporters and have done nothing to reel in money in politics or the military industrial complex after these constant disasters just shows a level of apathy that is insane. I don’t even want to think about what kind of disaster they will lead us into if China goes to war with Taiwan or Israel goes to war with Iran.
