A year since the Hamas attack on Israel.

Yesterday I saw someone posting calling Hamas “animals” and saying they’ve left their progressive politics behind because of … well it was vague, but I assume because of the idea that children and hospitals shouldn’t be targets in a war.

They were hurting, had lost friends and family. But it was not a statement I could support.

This fucking war needs to end and the only people who can end it are refusing to.

@Laukidh No, it can't be ended. There is literally no one who can end it. The aggressor s are too dispersed without formalized command and control structures, so the aggression will continue, the war will continue.

That's just reality on the ground.

There can be no ceasefire because there's no one to agree to a ceasefire. The rockets will continue to fire, the war will continue.

That's just the unfortunate reality. It does us no good to turn a blind eye to it.

@volkris Hamas agreed to the ceasefire months ago, before the negotiators were killed in an Iranian consulate.

@volkris Netanyahu could tell his military to stop deliberately targeting families, aid workers, and journalists. That doesn’t take a negotiation with the “aggressors”.

Follow

@Laukidh he could.

And the rockets would continue to be fired.

Both sides are aggressors here. The problem is, one side doesn't actually have the ability to stop aggressing. It's literally not possible because of the organization, or lack thereof, of the belligerants.
