Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Both sides need to be willing to have lasting peace in order for this to be a legitimate discussion. Notably Hamas has rejected the last ceasefire offer, after breaking the last agreement, and states plainly they do not want peace and will not stop until Israel is no more.
Why are we hellbent on asking Israel to just sit and take it?
Hey look, it's 2001 George Bush everyone. This will surely not end in disaster!
What was true in 2001 as it is now, is that it takes two to tango.
In other words: an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind and Israel is engaging in terrorist activity just the same and to a greater scale.
But the other use is right, and it's no surprise. Here's a prime minister who's been in power as long as Putin and a part of the same neoconservative right-wing nationalist bent as the puppeteers of Bush.
Netanyahu and right-wing extremists in Israel have no interest in settling this. That was proven when a right-wing Israeli nationalist assassinated the former prime minister who sought to resolve the conflict in earnest.
No. It takes two to make a ceasefire. That's the truth and it always has been.
A ceasefire in 2001...?
