All these points have been made. Blinken and Biden -weren’t those reindeer - have pled with Bibi to pause. Bibi said “nah.” His goal is for IDF to be able to walk through Gaza without being attacked. The Israelis are fed up with Hamas, who wear civilian clothes and hide behind their wives and children, lobbing rockets and shooting them. As I said on the first page of this thread, using human shields is not going to be effective this time. It’s not. More are realizing this and heading south now. Hopefully, they’ll separate and maintain distance from Hamas. The Israelis have made every effort to avoid civilian casualties while maintaining their goal. If Hamas wants peace they should stop shooting, put down their arms, and release the hostages. In other words, surrender. No exchanges, no conditions.
