> But when you engage your brain, you realize that this is a war, started by terrorists, that would end the instant they released the hostages and lay down their arms.

It would not. What's happening in Gaza is the end result of decades of systematic policy.

If Israel ever intended to some day have peace, they would recognize that Palestine is a country (like the majority of the countries in the world does).

Israel has been terrorizing and ethnically cleansing Palestinians since the inception of Zionism. Nakba was the original mass ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

October 7th was a valid reaction to people violently stealing your land and killing your families. The Palestinians had even tried a peaceful March of Return only to have the IDF snipe over a thousand people.

Israel is not a legitimate state, and never has been.

Well the Arab states collectively stole land 5 times the size of Israel from the Mizrahi Jews they ethnically cleansed (who now make up a majority of Israeli Jews)

So by your logic the Mizrahi Jews are entitled to enact October 7 style killings on the Arab states until they pay reparations for the land they stole.

Numerous Israeli government officials have said publicly that the current war is not going to end until Palestinians no longer live in Gaza.

Sources? Are these officials who have any power or authority, or are they the Israeli equivalent of MTG?

Why don't the hostages give back the land they stole from the Palestinians? Did they try doing that?
