The Israel-Hamas war is an armed conflict between Israel and Hamas militant groups that has been taking place in and around the Gaza strip since October 7 2023.

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

No, not until HAMAS is defeated because otherwise it is just kicking the can down the road to come back later
@9QYDNKN2wks2W
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.

I don't believe Australia needs to take a stance on matters concerning the Middle East.
@9PDPBQY1mo1MO
Yes, but instead of a military approach, we should help Israel take a diplomatic approach in conquering Hamas.
@9P4BD2L1mo1MO
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

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
@9JTJ6RFAustralian Democrats6mos6MO
No, Hamas has demonstrated, it will not abide by a ceasefire and will continue to use Hostages and Palestinians as human shields
Yes, but instead of a military approach, we should help take a diplomatic approach towards ending Hamas' rule in Gaza.

This war doesn't involve us nor affects us stay out
@9N9NYLW2mos2MO
No, a permanent ceasefire in Gaza would destroy the Israeli state and would displace Jews
@9M8CT843mos3MO
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.
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.
