A Ceasefire is Not Possible Because Hamas Wants to Destroy Israel
Published 2 hours ago on October 31, 2023By Steve Postalisrael

The United Nations, several progressive Democrats, and even the Pope are calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on the other hand, rejects the idea of a ceasefire, stating that “[c]alls for a ceasefire are a call for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terror, to surrender to barbarism.”


Would a ceasefire accomplish anything? By seeing what Hamas has said since its murder of 1,400 Israelis and kidnapping of approximately 230 hostages, one can readily see that a ceasefire would not meaningfully change Hamas and its actions. Recent statements by Hamas (in addition to the murder and kidnapping of the civilians themselves, of course) show a relentless, genocidal hatred for Israel and Jews that is an existential threat for the Jewish State that can only be defeated with Hamas’ total destruction. Some examples are the following:

 

October 7 – 13

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh predicts that Hamas’ attacks will spread to all Israel “as well as to the resistance and our Palestinian people abroad…We say one thing: Get out of our land, get out of our faces. Get out of our Jerusalem and our Al-Aqsa Mosque. We do not want to see you on this land. This land is ours, Jerusalem is ours, everything is ours.” [Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar), Oct. 7, 2023]

Hamas Military Commander Mohammed Deif says: “I say to our pure mujahideen: This is the day that you make this criminal enemy understand that its time is up. [The Quran says:] ‘Kill them wherever you may find them…I say to our people in occupied [pre-1967 Israel] – in the Negev, the Galilee, the Triangle, Haifa, Jaffa, Acre, Lod, and Ramla: Torch the earth under the feet of the plundering occupiers – kill, burn, destroy, and shut down roads…” [Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar), Oct. 7, 2023]

This is a simple fact.  It is impossible to make peace with an enemy that is sworn to kill you and everybody else.  This is why Hamas must be thoroughly destroyed or they will be back like weeds.

[Free Vulcan]

And almost their entire population supports that goal, yet they think they're going to play some passive-aggressive Marxist switcharooney to make it Israel's fault.

Change your ways or be pacified.

Yep. As long as they keep up their jihad, they are enemies.

You cannot "destroy" hamas.
Not unless you kill every male in gaza between the ages of 6 and 60.

And even then, they'll eventually be back.
It will just take longer next time.

Explain to me where I'm wrong.

OK, where you're wrong is confining your statement to 'males', do you really believe that the females receive any less indoctrination into hate or are any less bloodthirsty or animalistic than the 'males'?

Not unless you kill every male in gaza between the ages of 6 and 60.

So you can destroy Hamas.

And even then, they'll eventually be back.
It will just take longer next time.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hamas needs a catchy slogan.  You know, like "Hands Up. Don't Bomb me".  Or, "I can't breath with all this bomb dust."
"You're Killing me Smalls."

You can destroy their organizational structure, chain of command, logistical infrastructure, and everything that makes them more than just small groups of disgruntled activists.  One guy with an AK can't launch 5000 rockets in a single night.

True. I have little doubt that they are in this country, growing by number and well organized. Not just in this country but in others. Therein lies yet another problem.

No one guy with an AK can't launch 5,000 rockets in a single night obviously, but he can sure wreak havoc on a school, movie theater, shopping mall, sports complex, etc. 

Have no doubt they (more than 1) are in this country -- it's just a matter of time before they strike.  Even our corrupt FBI has given warnings.

It can't be that simple since the MSM doesn't seem to grasp it.

Biden admin wants humanitarian pauses 'as necessary' to get aid into Gaza, people 'out'

 President Biden's administration is exploring the possibility of multiple "humanitarian pauses" in the Israel-Hamas war aimed at getting aid into Gaza and hostages and foriegn nationals out.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby made the comments during a press briefing on Thursday. Reporters pressed him on what a "humanitarian pause" meant.

Kirby said each request for a pause would be taken on its own merits, and he was hopeful that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other powers involved would consider pauses on a case-by-case basis.

Kirby said Israel had already agreed to at least one pause when Hamas released two American hostages in October.

The administration has drawn a distinction between a full cease-fire and humanitarian pauses.

Durbin calls for Israel-Hamas cease-fire tied to hostage release
by Sarah Fortinsky - 11/02/23 10:15 AM ET

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the second-highest ranking Democrat in the Senate, backed a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war Thursday but stipulated that it must start with the release of all hostages.

Asked by CNN’s Poppy Harlow whether it’s time for a cease-fire, Durbin said: “I think it is.”

“At least in the context of both sides agreeing. For example, the release of those kidnapped should be part of this — immediate release. That should be the beginning of it,” Durbin said. “An effort should be made to engage in conversation between the Israelis and Palestinians.”

Durbin’s use of the term “cease-fire” is notable in its departure from language used by both President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

Biden on Wednesday suggested a “pause” in fighting was needed to “get the prisoners out,” in response to a heckler who asked him to call for a cease-fire.

Asked about his use of the term cease-fire and the fact that the president has purposefully not used the word, Durbin doubled down on the conditions for such a move.

Justin Castreau is about as coherent as Joe Biden, especially on the topic of a ceasefire.
