The reason why Germany was able to be denazified was because the Allied powers bombed them into submission, and then killed anyone with ties to the party. It’s all based on who can bring the most pain upon the other. That’s why this solution goes through Israel, unless we want to bomb them into submission. They will not respond to other pressure
That’s exactly what Israel is trying to do to Hamas right now. Bomb them into submission and then kill anyone left over who had ties to them.
I ignore the statehood/settlements stuff because Israel will never do it. It’s pointless to sit here and say “well they should just give Hamas everything they want” because they will not. They are winning the war from their perspective, so they’ll just keep bombing and killing until they get what they want. Say it’s horrible and terrible all you want, it will not change their perspective. To them, Hamas is Nazi Germany and they are the Allies. They’ll win by killing everyone if they have to.
The only TRUE solution is complete Hamas surrender. And then options like statehood are back on the table. Until then, it will just be bombing and killing
I don’t care what Israel wants. Like I said, Hitler wanted to keep killing Jews - should we have worked with him? Should we have let him continue? You point out that we bombed them into submission but somehow don’t support this solution with Israel’s unreasonable demands, why?
I don’t think boots on the ground would be necessary if we actually sanctioned Israel, stopped providing arms, made them a pariah. But if it came to it and that was the only way to prevent more bloodshed, then we should do it.

First off. Negotiations don’t work that way. Both sides must make concessions. Of course we shouldn’t give Hamas everything they want.
Second, why do you seem to think it’s ok that we give Israel everything they want? Just because they’re currently winning thanks to US and generally western weapons and backing?

Then we should declare war on Israel is your perspective? Because we were at war with Hitler, that’s why we didn’t just give him what he wanted. Because we knew we could beat them by killing them. If you truly think the US will ever declare war on Israel, you’re insane and this conversation can end here. It’s so outside of the realm of reality
The only way this specific conflict will end is either complete destruction of Hamas, or their complete surrender. Period.
Not how SHOULD this conflict end. The only way it will.

Sanction. Boycott. Make demands with actual consequences. Then if none of that works, international peacekeeping forces should stop the genocide immediately.

Yeah that’s why I did not say that.

Wrong. Cease fire. Prisoner exchanges. Happened many times before.
Again WHY do you think everyone should bend over backwards to do what Israel wants “for peace” but not make any concessions for Hamas? Don’t you understand that peace requires both sides to actually agree?
Are you thinking that Hamas is actually going to lay down their arms? Or that if they were destroyed another terror group wouldn’t take their place? Is that realistic?
Their comments here and comment history just show they want Israel to be able to eliminate all Palestinians. Idk if any logic you present will change their mind (or any others that think like that)
Probably not but I think it’s good to make the case and to give people a chance.
But yeah that seems to be it. Israel gets everything “it’s the only way, I’m just being realistic” and Hamas surrenders entirely and gets nothing because… that is “realistic” apparently? This will make Palestinians stop fighting for their freedom, somehow? Bizarre logic.

Again, not going to happen man. They are America’s strongest ally in the region, *AND one of our strongest allies in the entire world. We’ll never do this. You’re living in a fantasy land. So we should just stop here. You can keep wishing but you aren’t looking at the facts and reality. Goodbye
You ignore everything else so you can pretend you’re being “realistic” and everyone with morals is “living in a fantasy land.” Ronald fucking Reagan suspended weapons delivery to them so let’s not pretend it’s so impossible.
Reagan not only supported UNSC Resolution 487, which condemned the attack, but he also criticized the raid publicly and suspended the delivery of advanced F-16 fighter jets to Israel.
And since you’re just ignoring anything inconvenient to you, I’ll just leave this question here again…
