Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.

    Yeah…

    The ultimate tragedy of the last few weeks is that the average Israeli will only be more radicalized against Palestine, while the average Palestinian will only be more radicalized against Israel. It’s a perpetual cycle of anger and violence that has no end in sight, and I don’t feel any hope for a better future for the region and the innocent people on either side of the conflict.

    What should have happened, like yesterday, should be obvious to anyone with a brain and a heart: Hamas should free all of their hostages and turn over anybody who participated in the terrorist attack on Israeli civilians, and Israel should cease fire immediately, call all settlers back and return the Gaza borders back to what they were a month ago. Terrorism and genocide are inexcusable, and the simple fact is that both sides have the blood of the innocent on their hands, all because of the politics of greed.

      There is much more Israel should be doing. Not least is allowing travel between Gaza and the West Bank.

        We are a far cry from free travel between Gaza and the West Bank.

        The likelihood of that is lower now than it’s ever been.

          We shouldn’t be.
          The only solution to the region is a Palestine that is prosperous and free. So long as people have nothing to lose, they will continue laying down their lives.

      Neither Hamas nor the Israeli government want peace. They’re not going to try to fix a situation neither sees as a problem.

      The first thing that should have happened is the dethroning of Netanyahu. The fact the guy who let it happen is still in charge is by far the biggest cause of this.
