    And whose fault is it that the that deal, the ceasefire for hostages has not been consummated? Is it Hamas or Israel or both?

    Biden:  Hamas. Hamas could end this tomorrow. Hamas could say (unintelligible) and done period. And, but, and the last offer Israel made was very generous in terms of who they’d be willing to release, what they’d give in return, et cetera. Bibi is under enormous pressure on the hostages, on the hostages, and so he’s prepared to do about anything to get the hostages back.

    ???

      I get it, Hamas is a terrorist organization and are not innocent by any means. But they’re straight up murdering Palestinians and boosting the recruitment rate of Hamas. Blowing people to smithereens usually does not drive them to peaceful options. Its far beyond stopping Hamas at this point. This is nothing but wreckless hate of Palestinians and ravenous hunger for their extinction. Its plain as day.

        It seems to me what you (and Biden) are saying is that things have progressed to the point where Hamas (and by extension the Palestinian people) are unwilling to reach a peaceful solution.

        If that’s the case, what should Israel actually do? What terms should they offer? And what if Hamas rejects those terms? Is there a solution to this problem that actually solves anything?
