@QasimRashid How do you propose getting it done? How are you going to get the criminals to The Hague for prosecution? (Cause if there’s a way, we need to get Putin there, too.) Do you truly believe Hamas will just release the hostages?

@AlliFlowers you keep bringing up Hamas. No one here is defending Hamas. And no one here is giving Hamas $4B/year in military aid. The person funding Hamas is Netanyahu: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

After the May 2021 ceasefire between Hamas & Israel, why didn’t Israel remove its illegal settlements & military occupation? Why did it only kill more Palestinians? And why avoid holding Israel accountable?

@QasimRashid It’s just that I’m focusing on the present, not what has happened over the thousands of years of past history. Start with what happens NOW. TODAY.

@AlliFlowers @QasimRashid I'm not sure your concept of time is accurate Flowers, Netanyahu hasn't been in power for thousands of years, but is in power NOW, TODAY.

@pewnack So why do you want to base a response on his actions alone? Is he holding a private war with himself? @QasimRashid

@AlliFlowers @QasimRashid you seem to be interested in only applying historical policy context to Hamas and not to Netanyahu. You ask an interesting question. Many observe that drawing out the war is in Netanyahu's interest, since if and when it ends he'll have to face up to the security disaster that was the first Hamas attack AND those corruption cases. He'll be toast if the war ends.

@pewnack I’m good with the end of Netanyahu. Overlooking intelligence is not the same thing as killing, torturing, and capturing innocent civilians. I want them both to face justice. I simply ask how you propose to accomplish that. @QasimRashid

@AlliFlowers @QasimRashid You ask me? You ask me how to solve a problem the UN (where the US has veto power in the security council) has been unable to solve since the illegal occupation of Palestine?

You ask me to solve something that the Oslo peace accords couldn't solve while Netanyahu which vocally wrecked and whom many personally blame for the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin?

Are you high?

@pewnack I ask everyone who comes along demanding instant peace and offering solutions like “returning the hostages,” “sending Bibi to The Hague,” and “getting rid of illegal settlers.” Yes. We all want that. But unless you have a recommendation as to HOW, just STFU already. @QasimRashid

@AlliFlowers @QasimRashid oohh, so if I can't personally fix the Israel/Palestine conflict, I can't criticise either side for their war crimes and that they should be held responsible?

I'm glad I know where you stand. If murderers can't be held to account, it's ok for them to keep on doing murders. Got it, good one. 👍

@QasimRashid

Some nut in an old agricultural province makes a nutty comment, and you immediately put it around #Israel's neck as an albatross, as if it is the official government policy enunciated by the Head of State?

Nice job riling people up with propaganda 🙄

@pewnack @AlliFlowers

@AlliFlowers @pewnack @QasimRashid May I ask you how you believe Israel will respond to its own practices of torture, murder and imprisonment of innocent Palestinian civilians - including hundreds of children? We have seen how Israel deals with this in the past - through denial, deflection, lies & laughable "enquiries" - so what can we expect from Israel regarding the overt genocide they are practicing in Gaza TODAY?

@QasimRashid I had to revisit your comment here. You say “you keep bringing up Hamas,” yet this is the first time you and I have had the conversation, so I can only assume. When you use the word “you,” you are referring to Jews in general. Since the first thing on your list was freeing the hostages, you have to mention Hamas, since they took the hostages.

@QasimRashid @AlliFlowers this is so unrealistic it’s juvenile. Hamas is a terrorist organization, and Palestine’s suffering and isolation is how the Palestinian political leaders extort Palestine to enrich themselves via tunnel tax and other kleptocratic schemes. Palestine’s leaders do not want a peaceful resolution, just like the last 2 times a two-state solution was rejected by Palestine.
