US: Israel Has Agreed to Framework for a Gaza Cease-Fire

Saturday, March 02, 2024

A U.S. official said Israel has agreed to a plan that would implement a cease-fire but Hamas has not yet agreed. A cease-fire would enable badly needed food, water and medical supplies for the Palestinians. The proposal would require Hamas to release of hostages taken on Oct. 7.

"Essentially."

"More or less."

Ehh, sounds shaky.

No, Hamas seems to be on the short end of this deal. They're going to want something bigger than a tenuous cease-fire which Israel has lied about before.

There's only one entity in this trifecta that's trying to protect the Palestini and that's President Biden. The other two don't give a damn about saving lives. And President Biden has to worry about losing the Jewish vote in an election in November.

Netanyahu has broken so many International Laws I'm surprised President Biden hasn't stopped providing the ammunition that's killing the Palestini people who are trapped in the middle.

And where is the U.N. with its peace keepers in blue helmets?

Israel has carte blanche with the US and UN. This is just propaganda to cover Biden's A**.

Hamas would have to be retarded to believe them. They will agree to a cease fire and the IDF will kill people without warning when their guard is down.

The IDF can never be trusted. They lie, and kill without warning when the opportunity arises. They have, No Honor,at All.

Would you want to be the politician who sends their soldiers into that mess? Hamas had no compunctions about targeting a thousand civilians for cold-blooded murder. Pretty sure that means they think blue helmets would be fair game.

Here's a reminder of how the peacekeepers fare at the hands of certain people.

Israel will occupy and take over education. Time to reprogram the next gen!

That mess, you mean the mess created when Bibi sent his soldiers into Gaza. Lol.

What a simplistic view of the world.

The IDF is a powerful military force composed of the Israeli people and commanded by Nutty Yahoo. You are scapegoating the people for the sins of their leader.

It is Nutty Yahoo who is mostly to blame for this mess (and of course Hamas) not the regular Israeli people who just like you and me are trying to survive and prosper and live their lives. (Or Biden for that matter though you can easily find fault in his responses because it's easy to second guess when it is not YOU making the decisions day to day.)

Nutty has no honor just like Trumpy has no honor. Both should resign and stay away from any public office. Two pees in a pod. That's why they got along so well. Leaders that pee on their people together stay together!

The "Most moral army on earth" kills civilians for standing by a fence doing nothing threatening at all. They Bomb Hospitals full of sick civilians.

They shoot hungry people they bait with food when they're starving. 122 people shot dead just the other day.

Israel has lost its way morally, they lost it a long time ago, but the Hamas attack on October 7 really pushed it over the top.

Raw unrepentant Tribalism. And it isn't just the Likud either.

Israel as it currently exists has no more "right to exist", than Hitler Germany did.

Regime Change is in order.

When will the bombing begin?. The Duty to Protect is a moral imperative.

But never as regards Israel,the US or any of their Vassals.

They are "good people", just misunderstood.

And still you group them all into one pot.

No one has ever accused you of understanding them too much. You obviously don't and are not even trying.

They feel betrayed by Nutty. Yet they still fight for their country. Not an easy place to be for any soldier. Trust me.

"over 70 percent of Israelis want Netanyahu to resign " between one-quarter and 30 percent want him to go right now, even during the war."

How many do you think would be fighting and killing anyone if they were not being ordered to?

HAMAS is refusing to release the hostages so that is Israel's fault. I'd say you are spreading pro-HAMAS propagand. And let's not forget who started this war.

Yeah, let's not forget! Zionist terrorists, nearly 100 years ago.
