No, the problem with the dialogue is people like you who claim absolute nonsense. The people of Gaza are bombed right now because Hamas hides behind them. Those who never supported Hamas and their actions are now trapped in with them because no one ever cared about them being taken hostage by Hamas. Now that Israel has enough and is going to destroy Hamas everyone suddenly cares about all the innocent people in Gaza.

The people who want nothing to do with Hamas are apparently not in any position to do anything about the terrorists who have Gaza in their grip. They should have been allowed to leave for the past years because as long as Hamas is in control Gaza is a lost cause. Want to blame someone? Blame Hamas, their supportes and all those who could have helped Gaza get rid of them but stood idly by for decades, happy that one in a while Hamas will launch a terrorist attack on Israel to draw fire on Gaza.

Gaza was bombed before Hamas and Gaza continues to be bombed after Israel created Hamas.

Hamas is not the issue, Israel is and will continue to be.

Israel created Hamas.

As long as people tell themselves fairy tales to blame Israel the conflict will continue.

As long as people continue to ignore history, the Israel’s genocide will continue.

What a stupid fucking thing to say. You want to absolve Israel of its responsibility with the same ignorant simplifications that you believe people with oppositional viewpoints are using.

I don't get people who can clearly pick out what they perceive to be bullshit from the "other camp" yet use the same stupid fucking justifications to support their own ignorance and tribalism.

There is plenty of blame to go around. Israel's mistreatment of Gaza, Hamas violence toward Israel, Iran arming terrorists, the United States focusing on culture war and allowing a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The problem is that the two sides are pointlessly fighting each other over something started hundreds of years ago.

I blame Hamas. 100%.

People in Gaza are dying today. How do we get people to stop dying today?

The civilians in Gaza, the children in Gaza, the women in Gaza, the people in Gaza are not allowed to leave. There is no escape for the civilians.

How do we exit this situation right now?

There is a power asymmetry here, Hamas is a terrorist organization, they're terrible people, but they do not have the military advantage. Hamas has the moral low ground, they do terrible things. Israel has the military high ground, they can decide who lives and who dies. Right now the civilians in Gaza are dying.

How do we stop this today?

If you kill everybody who is part of Hamas today, it's not going to end the violence. We're stuck in a systematic cycle of violence. Unless you're willing to kill every Palestinian person, you have to deal with them as human beings if you want to end the violence.

The only way to stop the bombing quickly I can imagine: a trustworthy 3rd party brokers a deal between Israel and Hamas. A deal that includes the hostages, disarmament of Hamas & Gaza and the surrender of Hamas personnel.

"We" cannot do anything in that matter, though.

If you kill everybody who is part of Hamas today, it’s not going to end the violence. We’re stuck in a systematic cycle of violence. Unless you’re willing to kill every Palestinian person, you have to deal with them as human beings if you want to end the violence.

This might unfortunately be true - especially after seeing the videos of how the terrorists tortured and murdered families in their homes. After Israel thinks Hamas do be destroyed / weakened enough it will result in a complete blockade from Israel's side that nothing will get through. It's on Egypt then, to keep the inhabitants of Gaza alive.

It might be for the better to 100% separate Palestina and Israel for some time so things can cool down and relations can be rebuild. As long as one side has the complete destruction of the other as its goal, talks are destined to go nowhere.
