Any deal is expected to pause the fighting and bring hopes for winding down the most deadly and destructive war Israel and Hamas have ever fought, a conflict that has destabilized the Middle East and sparked worldwide protests.

Oh goody! A ceasefire! Like the one that was in place until October 7th when the Palestinians raped and murdered 1,200 Israeli civilian men, women, and children.

I guess there's always tomorrow for that Palestinian victory I was told was imminently forthcoming. Unless what happened to Gaza and Lebanon is actually the victory that was foretold.

Until next time!:

The "ceasefire" you refer to is exposed as a lie and you still repeat ZAKA propaganda.

It's interesting that you count the military killed along with the civilians. Telling, in fact.

And allegations of r--e are indeed proven - inside Israeli prisons. Televised, in fact.

Also, a music celebration by border settlers next to their prisoners seemed really, really provocative. Understandably disturbing, even in the midst of a legitimate military objective.

Netanyahu knew everything in advance because this conflict was carefully planned long in advance, specifically funded and executed in collaboration with the UK, Germany and the United States.

#2 & #3

[Verse 1]
Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
They won't give peace a chance
That was just a dream some of us had

Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't wanna stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here

[Chorus 1]
Oh, but California
California, I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California, I'm coming home

[Verse 2]
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
Who did the goat dance very well
He gave me back my smile
But he kept my camera to sell

Oh, the rogue, the red red rogue
He cooked good omelets and stews
And I might have stayed on with him there
But my heart cried out for you

[Chorus 2]
California
Oh, California, I'm coming home
Oh, make me feel good rock 'n roll band
I'm your biggest fan
California, I'm coming home

[Bridge 1]
Oh, it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers

All the news of home you read
Just gives you the blues
Just gives you the blues

[Verse 3]
So I bought me a ticket
I got on a plane to Spain
Went to a party down a red dirt road
There were lots of pretty people there
Reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue

They said, "How long can you hang around?"
I said a week, maybe two
Just until my skin turns brown, then I'm going home

[Chorus 3]
To California
California, I'm coming home
Oh, will you take me as I am?
Strung out on another man
California, I'm coming home

[Bridge 2]
Oh, it gets so lonely
When you're walking
And the streets are full of strangers

All the news of home you read
More about the war
And the bloody changes

[Outro]
Oh, will you take me as I am?
Will you take me as I am?
Will you?
Will you take me as I am?
Hmmm mmmmm
Take me as I am

Tried to listen to the video, but those high notes were killing me.

Sure, let's give peace a chance. But I doubt that's what we're going to get. Israel will continue encroaching on the Palestinians and the Palestinians will continue refusing to admit that they have lost (again) and need to cut their losses and accept Israel's right to exist so they can finally have a Palestinian state.

In the meantime, I'll probably start feeling sorry for the Palestinians again until they commit their next atrocity.

The time to worry is if there is a real 7 year Peace Agreement.

But there are still Palestinians left alive.

How about we give peace a chance once Israel finishes killing off all those poor, brown, expendable people.

Besides. The beachfront hotels and resorts along the Mediterranean, where Gaza once was, will be beautiful! Who's gonna care about a population of children being brutally massacred, when they're busy spending money on tchotchkes and fancy drinks.

Besides. If we just remove all mention of the Palestinians and this genocide, who will ever remember?

I like to think that Satan, if she (definitely a woman!) exists, would pick a more competent emissary than Trump.

He's already taking credit for the Ceasefire, and....

"Trump Promises to Expand the Abraham Accords

Negotiators for Israel and Hamas have agree to a 42-day ceasefire and a hostage release in Gaza, with the ceasefire scheduled to take effect on Sunday the 19th.

Trump immediately took credit for this, and said that the momentum from the ceasefire will lead to an expansion of the Abraham Accords. We are about to witness the Covenant with Many being confirmed."

- a more competent emissary than Trump.

He's actually really good at what he does best... which is evil of every sort, including his pursuit of the root of all evil. Which his Boss Leon is the King of.

Donald Trump immediately took
credit for this with a statement on
Truth social which reads

"this epic
ceasefire agreement could have only
happened as a result of our historic
victory in November as it signaled to
the entire world my Administration would
seek peace and negotiate deals to ensure
the safety of all Americans and our
allies

I am thrilled American and
Israeli hostages will be returning home
to be reunited with their families and
loved ones with this deal in place my
National Security team through the
efforts of special Envoy to the Middle
East Steve witkoff will continue to work
closely with Israel and our allies to
make sure Gaza never again becomes a
terrorist Safe Haven

we will continue
promoting peace through strength
throughout the region as we build upon
the momentum of the ceasefire to further
expand the historic Abraham Accords

this
is only the beginning of great things to
come for America and indeed the world

we
have achieved so much without even being
in the White House

just Imaging all of
the wonderful things that will happen
when I return to the White House and my
Administration is is fully confirmed so
they can secure more victories for the
United States"

(the key part of Trump's
statement is in reference to expanding
the Abraham Accords")

'

It's the modesty, the humility, and that intelligence that really strikes one the most, eh?

His pomposity aside, Trump's election had much to do with this. Hamas understands that it has no leverage with the Repubs, so their whining would get them nowhere and Israel would only become more aggressive with them.

On the other hand, Trump's election will have the opposite effect with Putin, who will be banking on US abandoning Ukraine.

Too bad we don't have anyone like John McCain calling the shots. He would have told the Palestinians and Russia both to go get bent.

Remind us. How much "leverage" did democrats provide Hamas with?

Stop lying and admit you love Trump.

You'd gladly watch America burn to the ground as long as Israel is able to continue it's genocide.

"Why Aren't You In The Hague!": Journalists Dragged Out Of Blinken Press Conference 37,535 views 6 hours ago

Antony Blinkin's father and grandfather were Israeli lobbyists. He lied to congress, the President and the public denying Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.

The entire Biden and Netanyahu, Sunak, Starmer and Scholz administrations deserve to be tried at the Hague.

Either you really don't understand the influence Israel has on US elections (both parties) or you're being willfully ignorant. None of this is conspiracy theory ---- either. It's littered throughout the mainstream news. Israel has no shame in their game when it comes to influencing American elections, and almost all of our US representatives are (in one way or another) owned by AIPAC.

But, Russia! Russia! Russia!

CRUEL BLOW As Gaza Ceasefire Is Exposed As A MASSIVE SCAM 87K views 1 day ago

As predicted, the "ceasefire" is another scam.

The fact that Israel bombed 78 people the same day after agreeing to ceasefire speaks clearly of their sincerity and has since been confirmed daily.

Ynet claims that "behind the deal" Netanyahu and Trump are negotiating for a Nobel peace prize.
