    So Israel is pulling its people out of occupied territory, providing restitution for war crimes and trying and punishing war criminals then right? Right?!

        Arguably there are still Israelis occupying Palestinian territory, roving Israeli gangs just murdered a journalist in Gaza, let alone the wider palestine

          Those were Palestinians living in Gaza, Doghmush clan. This might be news to you but not all Palestinians in Gaza are happy with the way Hamas governs the area.

          Now that Hamas has the ability again, they focus on oppressing Palestinians.

    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.

    In the same way the war was over in Western Europe when the Nazis occupied countries.

    “awaits release of hostages” is innacurate at best and a lie at worst.

    It’s a trade of hostages.

    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.

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

    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.

    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)
