“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

    Okay, but for the sake of this example, imagine you are Hamas and have changed your mind, what would be step 1?

        Okay, but let’s say your step 1 is what you would do if you didn’t want to accept your demise (because I don’t think this choice is one that anyone would really take).

      1. Contact Isreal and negotiate a surrender that would involve at minimum releasing all hostages and turning over any and all war criminals involved in the planning and execution of the massacres.

      That is not something Hamas would ever consider though so we are just in the realms of fantasy at this point.

        So if Hamas “surrenders” to Israel, how is this going to stop Israel’s daily oppression of Palestinians? What would Israel have to give back to Hamas?

          It would stop the ground invasion that is about to happen.

          Isreal is not going to give anything to Hamas after the massacres this week. That is no longer an option.

            Israel has had options for so long and have waited for this moment to say they are out of options so they had to cut water off 2 million people of which one quarter of a million are now homeless and displaced.
