Bibi doesn’t want a ceasefire. He doesn’t care about the hostages. He’s just like Trump and want power and to remain out of jail. That’s all

Call it what it is: ethnic cleansing and/or genocide. The debate about hypocrisy is irrelevant. The people that support this don’t share your values: protest and prosecute crimes (the only things we have left)!

As President of the United States, Donald Trump has every tool you can imagine in his toolbox, yet he continues to use a hammer in every situation. Once in a while, the hammer is the correct tool, but most of the time it just creates a worse situation. And often, it smashes things until they are unfixable.

Our current politics are reduced to this situation. We’ve given unfettered authority to a person who only knows how to use the bluntest tool in the toolbox. Or worse, he may know how to use the other tools, but refuses to use them because he likes to use the hammer for every problem (regardless of the consequences).

we cannot get distracted. This man is still hell bent on destroying our government and the constitution! We have to remain vigilant to ensure that we know what he is doing to our country, even though he is talking about nonsense in Gaza. As you can tell Benjamin Netanyahu did not agree to that comment he basically knew that that was a bunch of bull!

I can't believe intelligent caring people like the author use the phrase "ethnic cleansing" to describe murder and rape. This phrase is a legacy of the Serbs. First they got the media to use it, then heads of state, and now everybody. Words matter, even now. Especially now.

I am also worried about phase 2 of the deal. Not sure how this will affect it. I think it’s a negotiating tactic but it’s extremely risky as there are 7p hostages still in Gaza. The hostage families must be going further crazy right now after this ridiculous show.

His idea is too retarded to even consider.

Not sure of the precise motives, but could actually catalyse a more powerful regional advertising get involved I.e. Turkey; mustering up a consortia of disaffected Islamist nations to confront Israel. I think if the Trumpian intent is exercised it will lead to a conflagration in the region greater than what we have just seen.

Trump doesn’t think about any of these issues. All his thinking (and I use the term loosely) revolves around the here and now - what deal can I make that best serves me? If yesterday’s deal is no longer beneficial, then just break it.

Are the Palestinians, at any point in time ever, going to be required to accept the consequences of their actions?
