Calling for 1 side to stop does not end a conflict. Calling for Hamas to release the hostages and surrender would help this conflict end.

Hamas hasn't been the one rejecting a ceasefire for hostage deal. But the irony of those two sentences right next to each other is pretty funny lol.

Calling terrorists resistance and destroying all meaning of the word apartheid does not help your cause either.

I'm going to be charitable and assume you don't know the history of life under Israeli occupation nor how the apartheid in South Africa ended. The resistance in South Africa was also labeled as terrorists, Should they have surrendered too? Would that have ended the apartheid?

Bombing and worsening already terrible material conditions doesn't solve terrorism, it's the improvement of material conditions that make terrorism fade away

Your links are super outdated. That ceasfire already happened, and Hamas didn't get their wish to free thousands of terrorists for a few hostages.

You know what improves material conditions? Having water pipes in the ground and used for transporting water. You know what doesn't? Ripping out water pipes and using them to make rockets that are launched at civilian population centers. That's what terrorists do.

Also, don't assume things. You'll often find yourself wrong.

Uhuh, that was a 'humanitarian pause' not a ceasefire. Israel had full intention to resume bombing Gaza. I'm talking about an actual ceasefire. I gave you recent links too.

Like how Israel controls all aspects of water in Gaza and the West Bank?

Or that Palestinians are subject only to Martial Law, Military Court, and Torture

Maybe you should stop assuming the lived experience of Palestinians, they deserve emancipation. Always happy to provide resources for you to learn more
