Hamas are the government of Gaza. When they attacked Israel on October 7, they did so representing the Gazan people. The response to this attack in Gaza was that of euphoria - dancing in the street and celebrations.
Continually, Gazan authorities have placed their civilians in the line of fire against international law and blamed Israel when they ended up hurt or killed. When Gaza infrastructure is attacked, the number of casualties claimed always far exceeds the actual number - the Gazan ministry of Health claimed 500+ casualties at Al-Shifa hospital caused by an Israeli bomb - it turned out… Read more

Demand a plan for peace and justice in Israel and Palestine, to end the genocide in Gaza, to free all remaining Israeli hostages, demand Hamas to disarm, Netanyahu to be sent to ICC with Hamas leaders and for elections in their respective societies. Push for an end to Israeli settler occupation in West Bank and protect Jerusalem and important Holy places by putting them in a neutral territory managed by Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders. Push for two-state solution.

The stats given in the description above are biased and show heavy favour to one side of the story.
I support international pressure for a ceasefire, but the conditions included must be that Israel returns the Palestinian territory it has seized since the beginning of the war. Hamas must also be removed from Government and both countries face an international court for war crimes. Palestine should be internationally recognised as a country.
Israel needs be pressured to end its conflicts in Lebanon and all other territories it is attempting to occupy. We cannot encourage expansionistic colonising mindset, or it will lead to a repeat of the current situation.

In theory absolutely, however it depends if Hamas accepts the existence of Israel. Gaza had decades and huge amounts of fundings from Arab nations to make the place better but spent on weapons and tunnels. Israel has the right to exist and decent itself. The government hasn't been tough enough calling out Hamas and Palestinians supporters in Australia.

There is no reason for a ceasefire to be entertained at this time.
Gaza have shown that their only desire is for the destruction of Israel and the killing of the Jews living there. Every time that Israel or anyone else has extended an olive branch to them, they either rejected it outright or took it and then attacked them immediately. They see mercy as weakness - and so they will respond with war. If they desire war so greatly, they shall have war - in all of its brutality. Perhaps, when they are treated like the losers in a war, they will see reality.
It took the total and utter annihilation of Germany and Japan's ability to wage war in order to get… Read more

Yes, the government should call for a permanent ceasefire in Palestine, Lebanon, and all other territories that Israel is currently attempting to occupy. The government should also call on Israel to cease its occupation of Palestine, and cease their expansionist actions. We should also commit to prosecuting any war criminals that make it onto Australian soil, regardless of their nationality. It is also vitally important that Australia firmly insists that our allies cease dealing arms to any state that is infringing on the sovereignty of another, and that we ensure we also do not engage in this profiteering, war mongering behaviour.
I believe that there should be a permanent ceasefire on both sides wherein Hamas stops using both Palestinians and Israeli as shields and where Israel is held responsible for the unjust genocide and continued segregation of Palestinians. No one's hands are clean. This is the escalation of an apartheid within the nation that has been present since its partition, it needs to be resolved in diplomacy, not violence.
