Palestinians plead ‘stop the bombs’ at UN meeting but Israel insists Hamas must be ‘obliterated’
“Stop the bombs and save lives!” the Palestinian ambassador pleaded at an emotional U.N. meeting on the war in Gaza.

"stop the bombs"... But only incoming ones, not outgoing ones from Gaza because they're friendly rockets which are a symbol for peace! Look, we're such peaceful people who want peace!
Obviously Israel should just stop its efforts of freeing over 200 kidnapped citizens. Oh they also should pack up their bags, leave their home, kiss Hamas's feet, thank them for massacring civilians and pillageing homes, and let them take the entirety of Israeli land and start a new state called Iran.2.0.
Maybe then jews in Berlin won't have stars of david sprayed on their homes.
Obviously Israel should just stop its efforts of freeing over 200 kidnapped citizens.
Yes, freeing those citizens from life by bombing them.
Strong, brutal retaliation is what will keep Israel safe from future kidnappings long term. Significant disincentive. If they negotiate and confer a tactical advantage for kidnapping, expect more of it.
So they don't care about the hostages? Got it.
No. They care about minimizing hostage taking overall more than these specific hostages. They still care but are utilizing game theory effectively to keep the most people safe.
There is literally no other way of entering Gaza on foot but to bomb the area beforehand. Dead soldiers won't bring back any kidnapped prisoners.
Saving a few alive is better than adding hundreds of dead soldiers, entering their death to underground narrow death tunnels, filled with traps.
There's no reason to invade in the first place. Hamas has already asked for negotiations to free the hostages. "Saving a few or saving none" is a false dichotomy.
No reason to invade? And they're supposed to do what, say "ok don't do it again thx bye" to Hamas???
Hamas proved their lack of willingness to do anything but kill (Israelis and their own citizens). If Israel just backs down in a few years they'll have another attack, much bigger this time. There's no other way but to destroy Hamas, who no matter what are set only on death.
Any state in this world, after events like oct.7 would destroy the ones responsible. And saying they should just work towards peace, at this point, is gullible and delusional.
