President Biden has said the U.S. was working to negotiate a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas that would pause fighting in Gaza for at least six weeks.

Wonder if this will be another vaporware cease-fire like the one that was in place last October 6th that Hamas decided to ignore on the morning of October 7th.

    • Stop blocking UN resolutions for a ceasefire

    • Support UN enforcement of the resulting resolution for a ceasefire

    • Stop funding Israel

    • Apply the same kind of sanctions the US applied to Ethiopia when it was committing similar human rights abuses in Tigray a couple of years ago.

    Israel is currently killing people directly at a rate of about 3.6% of the population per year. That’s not a situation that’s bern going on for 75 years.

      Support UN enforcement of the resulting resolution for a ceasefire

      No country on earth is dump enough to send peacekeepers to that garbage fire. You might as well line up a thousand of your own men and march them one by one into a cattle grinding machine. It would be far far cheaper and more humane.

        I honestly don’t think it would come to that.

        If the US withdrew support that would be it. If Israel lost the West’s support I don’t think it would attack the UN forces and Hamas has hardly any capabilities.

        Wouldn’t surprise me if the African Union was up for it if it had world support.
