Do you support the government calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza?

No

Yes, but Hamas is to lay down its arms and dissolve, the hostages are to be released, and the Israelis must be subjected to a more 'boots on the ground' review.

The government should call for an end to Hamas rule in Gaza as a pre-condition for a permanent ceasefire.

No, tell Hamas to surrender. If Hamas surrenders the war is over straight away.

No, Hamas has support of Palestinian people and will just regroup and continue attacking Israel. They want nothing less but destruction of Israel and Jews. Israel is in an existential fight for survival

No, not until all hostages are released and Gaza is no longer under Hamas terrorist rule

Yes, and Australia should recognise Palestine as a country.

If they mitigate the resulting anti-Semitism in Australia

It’s none of our business we should not be involved

Yes, but I would like to see the hostages released.

Austrslia needs to back out of areas where its not our business. Get these people out of our country and get us out of theirs!

The British should own the land or the Aramaic people

Yes, but only if it means returning the land to Palestine under International Law

Gaza has been allowed to operate as a terrorist nation for too long, and needs to have a stop put to it.

No, not until HAMAS is defeated because otherwise it is just kicking the can down the road to come back later

I don't believe Australia needs to take a stance on matters concerning the Middle East.

Yes, but instead of a military approach, we should help Israel take a diplomatic approach in conquering Hamas.

Yes, but instead of a military approach, we should help take a diplomatic approach towards ending Hamas' rule in Gaza.

No, Hamas has demonstrated, it will not abide by a ceasefire and will continue to use Hostages and Palestinians as human shields

No, I don’t support the genocide of Israel. A proper solution is in order, not telling the victim the rats can hurt them as they please.

No, a permanent ceasefire in Gaza would destroy the Israeli state and would displace Jews

No, but unless you have to remove the terrorists to keep Palestinians alive until the end of the war, Israel will pay for the damage in Gaza that was destroyed and kill innocent people.

This war doesn't involve us nor affects us stay out

No. Not without a call for / resolution for the immediate return of hostages and immediate laying down of arms by Hamas, whose direct actors must be imprisoned. Followed by the dissolution of Hamas and UNWRA

No. Gaza have sown the wind, and are now reaping the whirlwind. A ceasefire would undermine the efforts of the IDF and show the West is more concerned about optics than doing what has to be done.

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 them to surrender. I believe it will take the same for Gaza - their people are similarly indoctrinated to a similarly extremist ideology. Furthermore, for peace between Israel and Gaza, there will likely need to be a decades-long occupation - a real occupation, with soldiers on every corner. Not whatever protesters have been calling an 'occupation' for the last 20 years.

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.

No, the Gazans don't deserve peace. Not until they surrender unconditionally.
