Sedona, AZ — Who can turn their heads away from the images of starving Gaza children and families holding empty pans in desperate panic, begging for a bit of sustenance to stay alive?
Finally, reportedly, a trickle of food has been allowed into the demolished ruins of what was once home to the Gazans and is now only rubble. Thank God for that bit of mercy for however long that may last.
But will Hamas screw it up once more for their people?
It boggles the imagination how Hamas can continue to fight Israel while their entire country burns and dies.
That Oct 7th massacre was one of the most stupid acts initiated by a country against another in recorded history.
That evil act of terror set the ball rolling for the annihilation of Palestine and the ruination of their people.
Bombings, shootings, starvation, Hamas just does not care and continues to hide behind innocent civilians that are paying the price of Hamas’s audacity to keep on fighting when everyone knows it’s a lost cause.
Release the hostages and the remains of those who died in custody. Surrender. Drop your weapons. Give yourselves up. Leave the country. Disappear off the face of the earth. Go away forever.
Save your people!
Your enemy will not stop until you are no more, even if they have to sort through every human left in Palestine to get to you.
Once upon a time not long ago you had a country. People lived in homes and apartments. There was food. There were jobs. There was a modicum of stability.
That imbecilic and cruel act on the fateful October 7 day marked the end of your days and the destruction of your nation.
Your people now have nothing. No place to live. No place to bath or wash. No sanitation. No food to eat. No place to hide. Suffering. Living in abject fear. Never knowing when the next missile, bullet or bomb aimed at you, striking them instead.
This needs to end to end and needs to end now. You have nothing to negotiate with and have only remnants of country to preside over. And you will lose, even if you are the only ones left alive when it finally, the war, comes to a bloody end.
For the sake of your people what’s left of them, accept whatever terms and slink away, never to be seen again.
There is no moral right or wrong here. Only what has to be, done.
Quit. And run.

It’s easy to imagine that Hamas disappearing itself would stop the Israeli government from continuing its complete annihilation of Gaza and the Palestinian people who rightly inhabit their land. Hamas is a horrendous terror organization with the lives of many Israeli and Palestinian on their hands. This does not justify leveling patient and staff occupied hospitals, food distribution sites or anywhere else just to take out 1-2 Hamas members among hundreds if not thousands of innocent Palestinians (mostly pre pubescent children). I am part Jewish and I cannot speak for all jews but it sure seems the Israeli government has forgotten where and why an Israeli state was founded. Leveling an entire country’s infrastructure flat and killing hundreds of thousands of un armed civilians is not the way to combat ethnic hatred on either side of the river between them. All Israel has accomplished is ensuring they will have pissed off Israel hating armed enemies to deal with for decades to come. This was already the case prior to Hamas attacking Israel and murdering innocent Israeli civilians (though military service is obligatory for Israeli citizens). It’s the same hatred plaguing Ukraine, Bosnia/Serbia/Kosovo and it’s the same hatred plaguing our own country.
The Israeli government stated, “the only thing we should be delivering to Gaza is bombs!” How is that kind of hatefulness any different than the hate of Israel and or Jews that spurned Hamas into committing a well planned murder spree upon Israeli’s?
Hate is hate and murder is murder. There is no right or wrong hate nor right or wrong killing. It’s all wrong!
Netanyahu should leave the planet and head for mars. They are murderers.
Free the Palestinian peoples from 77 years of imprisonment.
Wonder why there is anti Israeli reactions throughout the rest of the planet? That’s why.
Wake up, Joseph.
Anti Israeli Anti Jewish sentiment and racist hatred is as wrong as Donald J Trump being POTUS! Netanyahu and his alt right cabinet of fascist criminals are just that- Fascist Criminals just like Trump and his Administration. Has nothing to do with race or even religion! It’s a genocidal land grab theft and murder of Palestinians and their land. The Israeli government has its eye on taking over and developing the entirety of Gaza on behalf of their own illegal settlements. May the ghosts of every innocent Palestinian haunts the simple minds of the Israeli government which has forgotten where they came from or why it is they even exist in the first place!
The Israeli Government (not the Jewish people) just announced that they fully intend to occupy all of the Gaza Strip! With this announcement they have proven themselves to be everything and more of what the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians, Iraqi’s and Iranians have long said they were. Again I am referring to Convicted Criminal Netanyahu and his criminal Alt Right supporters who wish to overthrow and re write their own Constitution to allow Netanyahu to stay in power and continue committing genocide as well as lying to and grifting his own people! Just like our Convicted Criminal Grifter!
