    Isn’t this how a ceasefire works? One side offers a ceasefire the other can accept else the shooting continues. What’s so complicated about this?

        Is it really a genocide if u can stop it happening to ur people at any point u want them choose not to? Then again nothing’s really a genocide as long as ur the victor u get to write history.

          As much as I don’t like like this statement, that’s indeed the facts - The powerful writes the history. They even can keep a blind on the genocidal parties and bring them o assimilate into their society as long as it is to their advantage. At least that’s what happened to Nazis luminaries that happened to move to the other side of Atlantic and behind the iron curtain.

    “Country threatens to kill civilians unless terrorists do as they say” Yeah, I’d say that’s not gonna work, but the whole point of this ultimatum is to justify the slaughter of Palestinians.

    In the long run it’ll probably work out for Hamas too. Watching friends and family get murdered will probably radicalize a lot of folks and drive up recruitment.
