"I don't really want to hear anything you have to say mhaze"

No one's forcing you to read my posts.

"Ah you mean 'unconditional surrender' to the oppressors."

Of course there's no chance Hamas will end the war by this means. I was just using the option to demonstrate that people like you and Foxy while constantly talking about stopping the deaths, are more concerned about using the deaths as a way to try to achieve victory for the side you favour. Thanks for confirming it.

You keep mis-describing the Israelis as occupiers and using that as an excuse to seek their defeat. It doesn't seem to occur that those who correctly don't see it as an occupation have a different view of the war

Later this month a goodly portion of the planet are going to commemorate the death of a Jew in Jerusalem around 2000 years ago.

At the same time a goodly portion of the planet deny Jews have an ancestorial attachment to that land.

Double-think lives.

Dear Foxy,

«It does appear that Israel has not thought all this through.
Destroying Hamas and getting its hostages back is all well
and good - but no plan B - and what happens after that?»

Thinking about it at present would only be a waste of time:

Once the war ends, Israel will have new elections and will get a new government.
Planning for the "after" will be the task of this new government, not Netanyahu's.
Any other government will be more sensible and peaceful than the present one.

Yuyutsu,

Or it could be worse.

Yuyutsu,

Oh god! mhaze is crucifying Christ at Christmas. Next thing you know, he'll be nailing Santa to a cross in shopping centres for all the little children to see!

I can just see it now!

Little Boy; "Santa, can I have a new bike for Christmas?"

Santa; "Get the F@#K out of here KID! Can'y ya see I'm a sufferin' hanging up her on this bloody cross!

Little Boy; "Mummy, why did Santa swear at Me?

Mummy; "Shut the F@#K up Johnny!"

That's all the fault of mhaze
