We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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.

Ceasefire wasn’t broken it came to an end and neither party agreed on its extension.

This is completely false. Israel violated the active ceasefire.

Stage one

This officially lasted for 42 days, during which:

  • Hamas released 25 living Israeli hostages and eight dead hostages
  • Israel released about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees from Gaza
  • Israeli forces left populated areas of Gaza
  • Displaced Palestinians returned to their neighbourhoods
  • Hundreds of aid lorries were allowed into Gaza each day
  • Israeli troops remained in Gaza's border areas, including the southern Philadelphi Corridor, and left the Netzarim Corridor, a military zone cutting off the north of Gaza from the south

Stage two

Negotiations on the second stage were meant to begin 16 days after the start of stage one - but this did not happen. Like stage one, stage two is also meant to be completed within 42 days.

Stage 1 began on Jan 15. 42 days after Jan 15 is Feb 26, so the ceasefire and its terms ended Feb 26, even though Israel did not attack right away.

Should a phase 2 have been negotiated it would have begun on Feb 27 at the conclusion of phase 1 but Hamas was not willing to budge on Israel’s demand for their surrender of control and Israel was not willing to budge on Hamas’ demand for returning control of the Netzarim corridor. So, at an impasse the phase 2 negotiations never occurred, the agreed upon terms of the ceasefire ended Feb 26, and as Israeli citizens are still being held captive dead and alive in Gaza, israel has resumed its offensive campaign to destroy hamas.

You don’t need to make things up dude

Didn't Israel change the cease-fire agreement? They didn't want to go into the second phase, which was initially agreed and start withdrawing troops. They just wanted to extend the first phase and get all of their hostages. And the fact that Ben Gvir is joining the coalition is quite telling that this might have been the plan from the beginning.
