    We’re talking about a ceasefire here, not peace. Trump is being dumb as usual.

    I’d love for the ceasefire to actually succeed this time - hopefully perpetually, leading to actual peace.

    But that wouldn’t mean Palestine’s plight is over - that would only be the beginning for seriously working on a two state solution. And not a master and a vassal state either.

    Looking back almost a century, somehow I’m not too optimistic.

      I didn’t stop and verify, but I’ve literally just seen a post on here which says that Israel has violated the ceasefire 3 days running at this point.

    This is just going to be another Korea. They still hate each other and the fighting will pick up again. History will repeat itself, etc.

    The war in Gaza has ended and the Middle East is going to “normalize”, Donald Trump said on Sunday as he flew to Israel which was waiting for Hamas to release Israeli hostages as world leaders were gathering to discuss the next steps toward peace.

    “The war is over, you understand that,” Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One as he began a flight from Washington DC to Israel.

    Asked about prospects for the region, Trump said: “I think it’s going to normalize.“

    Isn’t Israel a compulsory-service country where all citizens spend a year training as a soldier? Its funny that they’re called hostages when captured, not prisoners. Hostages are when you kidnap non-combatants like poor people living without secure food or water … so exactly the opposite of what they’re labeling captives by the invader or the impoverished civilian defenders.

      The youngest Israeli hostage taken on 7th of October was less than a year old, I don’t think he already finished his compulsory military service.

      Israel is doing despicable things, but let’s not pretend that Hamas is innocent.

      These are the civilian hostages taken by Hamas on the October 7th attack, not Israeli POWs.

      I’ll add that from what I’ve seen, about half of the Israelis get an exemption for various reasons.
      (Physical or mental issues, religion - Muslims are exempted by default and almost all ultra-orthodox Jews, pacifists, etc)

    Far from over! The brothers, Isaac and Ishmael, regrouping to continue their family blood feud over dried rocks.

      A person from ( Russia , Poland, USA , Iraq, Iran ) is not a brother to a person from Palestine.

    Seems a lot of people here don’t want the war to be over.

    Ya know you could get together with your activist friends and be happy? You don’t actually need to meet each over a shared hatred of people.
