Jao needs to cut off funding the PA, Hamas, Hezbollah, & Iran.

No? Then he is a terrorist too.

The only way the P’s want a cease fire is when they’re losing the fight they started; Israel is say no this time, they want to end Hamas’ terror attacks permanently.

Yet another cease fire because Hamas is losing the fight?

Bibi should take Gaza and occupy it.

That’s a great solution.No more Hamas.

Netanyahu and the IDF have their own timetable and objectives to neutralize Hamas. Bibi has said so publicly and will announce when it’s time for a ceasefire. The days are numbered for Hamas.

Ceasefires always mean bad guys win more territory, concessions and financial aid in the deal.

So start rock throwing, push women and children into the places next to rocket launchers and start the tears flowing over the mean retaliation force from Israel. Then yet another ceasefire deal and more gains.

Any U.S. POTUS trying to get the Palestinians to make a peace agreement will fail, as they all have, because the Arab political leaders in the West Bank and Gaza want war with Israel more than they want peace.

1. They cannot get a peace without compromises they don’t want to make. They don’t want those compromises because their political rationale behind their leadership has always been a matter of convincing their own people they cannot make those compromises, because those compromises do not eliminate the state of Israel.

2. If they made those compromises the sheeple underneath them, having been totally brainwashed with hatred for the Jews, and they will throw out the leaders that make that agreement and put everything back at the current status quo. Arafat understood that when he rejected the last agreement that was attempted. It was the best deal they could get, and now they cannot even get that deal, only something less than that. The longer they fail to make a deal, the more they lose.

Trump was right to bypass the Arab leaders in the West Bank and Gaza and get the Arab states and Israel on better terms, no matter what the Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank think.

He avoided the diplomatic rabbit hole of “negotiating peace between Israel and ‘the Palestinians’ “. Biden is not that smart.

Which is exactly what Hamas wanted by starting this. And then when we pay them off, the Iranians will do something else for “assistance”. Kerry’s already fueling the jet.

Bill Clinton pulled out all the stops. Arafat was the single most frequent foreign ‘diplomat’ to the White House during his terms. When the papers were drawn up and ready to sign, Arafat balked and launched the intifada. When Clinton left office he told George W. Bush to write them off.

Not giving Gazans money is helping them.

Hamas official virtually admits there may have been Hamas officers in the tower housing AP/Aljazeera; he is called out by BBC not once, but twice, in this excerpt. FakeNewsMSM not covering this:

It’s SOP for the Palis to ask for a cease fire when they are really getting their asses kicked.

Why doesn’t the UN tell Hamas to stop bombing Israel? That will end the violence.

Meaningless gesture from the 1970s. Perfect illustration of the deep incompetence of Biden and his flunky boy Blinken.

Exactly! But then we knew that. He also supports the domestic
terrorists without hesitation.
