ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR
If We All Want The Same Thing, Why Are We Not Asking For The Same Thing?
The whole world (bar the few who benefit) wants the Israel-Hamas war to end, so why is the world not unifying and demanding the obvious?
When I looked at the news this morning, hoping, as I have done for the last 210 days, to see some good news, I felt enraged and deflated by the absolute insanity that is the world today.
The most likely kind of good news in the current situation is that Hamas and Israel are actually reaching an agreement that will lead to the release of the over-100 innocent hostages taken by Hamas from Israel on October 7th, and a plan to find a peaceful path forward for everyone. Not surprisingly, I was disappointed…again.
But today my disappointment came not from the news that Hamas has indicated they will reject the current proposal from Israel, that Antony Blinken has described as “very generous” on Israel’s part — evidenced by the fact that far right members of the Israeli government have threatened to resign if Israel and Hamas agree to its terms. That wasn’t so much a disappointment because it was to be expected.
