    Conflict? How the fuck they gonna call it a ‘conflict’? It’s an outright terrorist fucking war!

    But hey, let’s just tell them to press the pause button, they can go back to their ‘conflict’ tomorrow…

        Did I name a country? Did I name a group? No.

        I don’t know for myself what all factors led up to the current situation going on over there, other than what the news and media presents. As if I trust everything I hear on the news…

        But I do know the extreme destruction and massive deaths we’re all seeing on the news. That’s not a conflict, a conflict is when two dudes fist fight at a bar.

        To call the events going on over there a conflict is a goddamn joke, call it for what it is, terrorism.

            Uh Palestinians are not fucking indigenous.

            Palestine only became an idea after the Muslim conquest of the levant in the late 600s CE, when the Arabs went on their own genocide across the entire Middle East conquering everything and raping and killing everyone in sight.

            If you want to talk about indigenous, then you’d have to go back to the Israelites around 3200 years ago, or the Philistines before them.

              I mean it’s the fertile crescent. It’s been likely that it’s been being recolonized for hundreds of thousands of years. Not really any other landroutes out of Africa.

                Which means that nobody there is indigenous. The actual indigenous peoples have been genocided over millennia.

                  Or that many groups have indigenous claims to the area.

                  For example, pacific islanders didnt’ get to many islands till the 900-1100 time period. We’d still call them indigenous peoples of those places.

                  More than one thing can be true at the same time.

    As soon as the hostages are released, the bombing will resume.

    Please note that I want the hostages to survive just as much as I want the bombing to cease.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Concern about the captives — two of whom Israel said were found dead — along with the rising number of Palestinian civilian casualties have steadily increased pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

    After initial hesitation, the Biden administration, under its own domestic pressure between advocates of unstinting support for Israel’s war aims and concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, has fully backed a temporary pause in the fighting.

    Beginning with President Biden’s trip to Tel Aviv a week after the war began, and followed by multiple visits from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other senior officials, the administration has pushed hard with Netanyahu to understand that it is losing the narrative high ground as more Palestinians die.

    Brett McGurk, the White House National Security Council’s top Middle East official, is on an extended trip to the region to try to solidify the hostage release plan, including meetings in Israel and Qatar.

    McGurk told the conference that Hamas’s release of a “large number” of the hostages, believed to total 239, “would result in a significant pause in fighting and a massive surge of humanitarian relief.

    Those remarks drew an angry response from Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, who interpreted them as signaling that a pause allowing humanitarian relief would come only after the hostages were released unconditionally by Hamas.

    Paywall. Is Israel also going to release Palestinian women and children hostages?
