It's the same liberal psychology behind UNSC Resolution 1701 in 2006 where Hezbollah pinkie promised to disarm. And now look at all the dead bodies that this liberal solution caused 18 years later. Of course the same types propose the same solutions again with no sense of shame as to how much death it causes.

The actual durable solution is something like how Sri Lanka defeated the Tamil Tigers, or how Russia defeated the insurgency in Chechnya. Which is roughly the same as what Israel is doing in Gaza now. But Israel is playing on hard mode because the international community has given such a morale boost to Hamas, prolonging the time until surrender.



> morale boost to Hamas, prolonging the time until surrender.

I think this is key. The protest must condemn Hamas while supporting innocent people. Protests that support Hamas as some kind of justified resistance just prolongates everything. Hamas doesn't care for its people. It has an ideological system that glorifies death. Death is just a means to an end for them.

This is the problem of viewing things black and white. The whole conflict is varying shades of Grey.


> 18 year causality stretch without a single critical remark about israels constant desintegration of palestinian civic life.

Good job. The feat of not blaming the obvious aggressor is something very few accomplish.

Israel has control over water, electricty, gas, road, "law enforcement", etc. and used it for decades to push palestinians out of their homes. The last violent events are a result of long oppression and netanjahu establishing a theocracy. Only focusing on extremes and make conclusions on such a basis is something dumb people do, dont you agree? Israel is clearly to blame, when you know a little more nuanced history and consider its long time dominant position in that conflict.

> international community has given such a morale boost to Hamas

By ignoring israels obvious long running now openly genocidal master plan, you are doing the same.


Well, you seem to be confusing Gaza with South Lebanon, which is what UNSC Resolution 1701, and the 18 years since then, pertains to. There was zero aggression from Israel, they got attacked unprovoked by Hezbollah on October 8th, 2023.


You are right. I have my difficulties with single event causality chains.


Hezbollah are supported by Iran, who don't get mentioned enough in this conflict. Iran is quite happy to maintain the conflict at the cost of Palestinian and Lebanese lives.
