Speaking at a news conference in Doha, Qatar, alongside Qatar’s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Mr. Blinken said that “a deal was on the table that was virtually identical” to one that Hamas put forward on May 6.
At some point, he said, “you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not.”
Why is it hard to believe that the people who started this war don’t actually want it to end
What?
I agree with that (except calling this genocide a war).
Israel started it decades ago, and openly keep saying they won’t let it end until their genocide is finished.
They don’t want it to end yet, because there’s still Palestinians alive in Gaza.
Israel started it? Who was it that invaded the day after the British protectorate ended? Oh right, not Israel. Instead they got invaded by all of the neighbouring arab countries who didn’t like the UN approved borders.
That’s a weird place to start the clock…
Like, you understand that wasn’t that long after that land was all Palestine and the people who had lived there for generations had just been forced out with violence?
That’s like if you robbed someone but instead of leaving you just stayed in their house and made them live in the backyard for months while threatening them at gunpoint…
Then one day you sold the gun.
Would you be surprised the family took the opportunity to get their house back?
What do you expect that family to do if your brother was the Sheriff and the cops took your side?
