A diplomatic source told CNN the Hamas response “contained amendments to the Israeli proposal, including a timeline for a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.”

A senior US administration official told CNN that “the goalposts are moving,” in Hamas’ response, and the group “is now pressing for even greater specificity than it did before.”

Did they think no questions would be asked or details were needed?

If you're calling us terrorists apologists, then you're parroting Zionist propaganda. Emphasis on the parrot.

There is a war. One side is winning, the other is being decimated. Why would the winning side come to the table and make any concessions?

Take all the emotions out of it. Remove the actors and please answer my question.

There is a genocide, and there are freedom fighters. Tell me, which side is out there killing women and children daily. It's interesting that I've never had to see a child with the top half of his head missing until Israel started bombing tf out of Gaza.

I like how you're straight up ignoring the terrorist apologist comment you made. And really? Your current question wasn't even your original standpoint. You just came in here talking shit. So no, I don't think I give a care enough to answer your sociopathic question. "Take emotions out of it." Get real.

How many women and children did the US kill in order to win WW2? War is dirty and messy and that’s why it fucking sucks. We all want it to end but sitting here trying to make an argument for why Hamas should get any of their demands is silly. Israel doesn’t care about killing innocent people to win this war, clearly. So if Hamas wants it to end, it will need to surrender unconditionally. Period. Or else Israel will just keep trucking

Is it horrible and sad? Of course. Is that going to change Israel’s tactics? Probably not. So you gotta square with reality, and if you want it to end, concessions will need to be made from your side

You lost the argument. Take a hike, touch grass, sniff paint, jog on, do one.
