All Jewish communities could be targets at risk as a culture leans to the notion they no longer have anything to loose and slide towards extremist behaviour. Countries who enabled Israel’s military and political assault could and likely become targets also. There are no winners in this game. |
| frie... | When you have a malignant tumor it must be removed or it will kill you. |
| mich... | Given Hamas’ past and present stances on destroying Israel (“the Jewish Nation”), I do not believe any resolution other than complete elimination of Hamas and temporary occupation by Israel of 100% of Gaza will ensure secure peace for Israel. With Hezbollah, Syria and Iran all limited in their military capabilities, Hamas is the one thorn currently in Israel’s side. Unfortunately, the 2 million residents of Gaza have suffered and will continue to be victims until Hamas is obliterated. |
| amz1... | No occupation ever resulted in lasting peace |
| kpd4... | I belive a full military occupation is needed for peace. However, i don't believe there will ever be lasting peace. |
| mdsw... | Israel and Palestine will never stop fighting for control of the area. The only solution is for the USA or China to take total ownership |
| nanc... | What would you do if you were subjugated or forced from your homeland? The Palestinians deserve to have a place of their own, albeit without Hamas and with help from the world to form a new government. |
| atpp... | HAMAS and the PLO must be completely removed from Gaza |
| dave... | The amount of pain inflicted on families and, especially children, will continue this conflict and hatred far into the future on both sides. |
| davi... | The history of the conflict demonstrates that a full occupation would prevent further attacks from that area. |
| edin... | Very simple. If Israel laid down their arms tomorrow they would all be dead within a week and the country would be in chaos for decades. If Hamas laid down their arms tomorrow/ released hostages the violence and suffering would stop immediately. Not hard to figure this out |
| pman... | It’s a horrible situation- and Israel and the Muslim nations are both in the wrong- but being pragmatic- Israel is there - they have the right to defend themselves- they have the backing and the weapons- it’s time for this war to end - and in all wars there is a winner and loser - unfortunately these two groups couldn’t just tear each other with mutual respect and live and prosper together |
| jhma... | Israel was brutally attacked on 10/7/23 and no other nation in history has ever provided humanitarian aid to their attackers. Israel has done a good job of facilitating the flow of humanitarian aid, it has been the short comings of the UN that failed on proper distribution and keeping it out of the hands of Hamas. Overall I found this article to lead the reader to place blame on Israel instead of the terrorist group Hamas that has controlled Gaza since 2005. |
| dsht... | No other choice to stop hamas |
| caro... | This is against international laws and must be stopped and sanctioned. |
| pvol... | Hamas must be eliminated from Gaza if there is going to be any peace in the Middle East. The Hamas leadership is committed to maintaining their stranglehold on the Palestinian people and have no regard for their welfare. |
| bria... | No peace can prevail without complete defeat of Hamas, and that will not happen until Israel has total control of Gaza. Not necessarily forever, but until Hamas is rooted out. |
| tomd... | As a Christian, I believe I can safely say that Israel is all for peace and that hey are not aggressors. Thus, I believe Israel would provide the adult supervision of the area that would help ensure stability and promote good will among all. |
| omar... | Israel must be destroyed |
| jthi... | Israel needs to cease all military action immediately and allow aid to flow in with minor inspection! |
| dand... | There never seems to be a time when there isn’t conflict in Gaza. As long as religion is the guiding force, I doubt there will ever be peace. |
| mdul... | Paraphrased quote from a movie, "Once you think you understand something in the Middle East, stop and recognize that it's much more complicated than you think." There are no clear answers in the region and we should recognize that reality. That being said, I never thought that Israel and Judaism could possibly cede the high moral ground but they are succeeding in doing so. I think the world was united in Israel's aggressive actions following October 7 but now feel that the response and continued actions are disproportionate and approaching genocide. It would appear that Netanyahu feels that his end goal of completely removing this one of two adjacent Palestinian enclaves will be forgiven in history's retelling but, even if that comes to fruition, it seems likely to be measured on a scale of decades. |
| ljar... | Violence begets violence! |
| dmaz... | With a full occupation, the US will be on the hook for the cost of defending Israel against the entire Middle East, probably making oil way more expensive. |
| edwa... | Depends on how Qatar supports further terrorism through out the Mid East in pursuit of Dar al Islam. If Israel fails, Europe is over. Reverse crusades will follow. |
| rios... | The failure to acknowledge that Gaza is a nation whose religion and culture are incompatible with that of Israel will pepetuate another Vietnam or Afghanistan. |
| tony... | Hamas' continued aggression will further conflict. The occupation seems like the only reasonable response. |
| maar... | This conflict cannot be resolved as long as the international world order maintains that a evacuated population has a right to return. Think of the principal applied to native americans; Indians and Pakistanis; Greeks and Turks (in each, hundreds of thousands were displaced and compelled to live elsewhere. |
| bruc... | If the Gazan's are offered another place to live, Egypt especially, or any neighboring country, away from Israel there will be peace |
| arth... | Likely occupation forces will continue to face car bombings, clandestine fighter and suicide bombing fighting, but will be able to control other more devastating weapon, and military organization. There is unlikely to be any peace. |
| mken... | Surprised you didn't mention the ongoing starvation of the people in Gaza. 'Aid deliveries remain limited' drastically minimizes the situation. |
| pjpa... | Time to cut the snake's head off! |
| mast... | Only elimination of Hamas control can restore normalcy to the region and the Gaza people. |
| edc.... | There will never be lasting peace. But Israel needs to take Gaza for humanitarian reasons. |
| smil... | Hamas doesn’t want peace |
| blik... | HAMAS = Brainwashed LIARS. Trust an islamist jihadi to tell truth and be trusted? That is stupid, as in October 6, 2022 “thinking”. Time to wake the hell up, people. HAMAS is starving the ignorant “civilians” there! Wake the hell up! |
| coch... | Subjugation of a people will only lead to bloodshed. |
| vyeo... | This is genocide and inhumane of what is happening in Gaza! |
| bobb... | Israel has become as horrible as North Korea and Russia. The blatant genocide, starvation and territorial expansion have caused me to lose complete confidence and respect for that country, especially NetanYAHOO. Why is the world just standing idle!!! |
| patg... | genocide |
| biba... | End all wars!!!! |
| paul... | Best left to the experts to decide. |
| crai... | The only way forward has to include the elimination of Hamas. They have not demonstrated any interest in peace or the interests of the people in the region |
| acts... | Why did you list only the Palestinian death statistics? |
| priv... | This is a no brainer. |
| jayi... | There is no chance of peace with a neighbor who wants to destroy you. From the 3005 truce rockets thousands of were fired at Israel.and then 10/7. No possible 2 states solution. |
| robs... | As long as the Palestinians and the complicit Arab World fail to stand-up to the Extremist groups within Gaza who continue to misinterpret and misuse the concept of jihad to justify violence and terrorism like they have done for most of the past 2000 years, there will be no peace until these people and any memory of them no longer exists. |
| jald... | There will not be any peace as long as Hamas is around. Israel needs to go into Gaza and remove Hamas for peace to work. |
| itsf... | Hamas should have released the hostages. Blaming Israel for everything is beyond stupid and shallow. |
| zsid... | Genocide is not a military conflict. |
| jsko... | wish he would just tell the truth. |
| jefe... | No piece will ever be achieved as long as the Muslim terrorist start every day by saying if you are not like me you must die. |
| clif... | Anyone who thinks that leaving Hamas in control in Gaza will lead to peace is delusional. |
| ste5... | There is no pease without Hams gone |
| jsst... | It’s the wrong question. Would deporting or incarcerating all people of color lead to more racial harmony in the US? Your framing ignores the Palestinians as humans and steps over the disproportionate amount of civilian deaths vs military deaths thus far in the war, instead accepting Israeli framing of this as an expansion of a military conflict instead of the decimation of a population the far right in Israel has long expressed an interest in eradicating. |
| samm... | the young population in gaza has been fed nothing but pure propaganda of the most putrid form since 2005 and realistically to fone any grace after their many many defeats, their schools must be rebuilt and american/israeli led. the word ‘martyrdom’ must be forbidden in all areas of life. the playbook is, of course, the de-nazification effort in germany after the war. only with education and with explocit and extreme penalties for reverting to their propagandized hateful past is it possible for Gaza to have any future at all. or they can never give up their fight and see what happens. |
| shab... | The USA needs to stop sending money to Israel and give it's own citizens free health care, education and a good retirement path! |
| joll... | Please. The people of Gaza need to be relocated back to their villages within Israel!!!! Israel needs to pay for their relocation within Israel! All settlers need to be relocated outside the West Bank!!!! In the boundaries of Israel. There will never be peace when Israel has its Zionist racist supremacy agenda! Are you kidding? War mongers. Mass murder. Ethnic cleansing! Most of the deaths are children. CHILDREN!!!! Anyone who does not see this tragedy for catastrophic denial of human dignity. All you all are sick in the head. |
| dfai... | When an irrational terrorist organization rules a country, the only way to guarantee peace is through a complete obliteration or occupation. |
| jenl... | Stamping out a group of humans does not ensure peace. It's also kinda impossible to totally stamp out a group of humans. |
| csbr... | Israel is a US sponsored terrorist state. |
| retc... | I think the only way to defeat Humas is to occupy Gaza. As evident Humas has no desire to give up. Evil must be rooted out of Gaza. |
| alfo... | There will never be true peace in that region regardless of what is done. I support Israel’s right to finish this war that Hamas started. I believe that Israel will be somewhat safer if they control the region, hopefully temporarily, and/ or eradicate Hamas’s presence. Unfortunately, I don’t see Hamas agreeing to anything that will prevent this. Another example of the saying “ you can’t negotiate with terrorists”. |
| re13... | Hamas has to be completely eliminated. The full occupation of the Gaza Strip is the beginning of this eradication of a terrorist group that vows to destroy Israel and Jews. It is true that Israel is the vanguard. Terrorism will grow if Hamas is not destroyed, and their targets will be in the west. |
| pilo... | It’s biblical. Peace will not come. |
| bbqn... | Israel’s government is a full representation of the people with multiple voices while Gaza is ruled by Hamas, a terrorist organization and proxy of Iran both of which are committed to tithe destruction of Israel. Peace can only be achieved with equal representation and tolerance |
| sopa... | Only Israel can provide peace to palestinians. |
| cger... | Until Hamas is removed completely from Gaza, there will be no peace and the Gaza citizenry will go hungry as the militants steal all the food that goes into the country, selling it back to them at high prices. As long as there is Hamas, there will be further conflict. |
| tubi... | the idea that the land belongs to them because a couple of hundred year old book says they lived there 2000+ years ago is ridiculous. mongers mongering |
| emil... | Pure colonialism is action. Fuck Israel. |
