    Peace is preferable to conflict.

    From CNN
    https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/25/midd...ian-state-is-established-mime-intl/index.html

    CNN —
    Some Hamas officials are signaling that the militant group could give up armed struggle against Israel if the Palestinians get an independent state in territories captured by Israel in the 1967 war.

    The messaging suggests a softening of Hamas’ position as its fate hangs in the balance with Israel’s pummeling of the Gaza Strip, which Hamas ruled before the war. The Palestinian militant group has long called for the Jewish state to be destroyed.

    Basem Naim, an Istanbul-based member of Hamas’ political bureau, told CNN on Thursday that the group would agree to disarm if an independent Palestinian state was established.

    “If an independent state with its capital in Jerusalem, while preserving the right of return for refugees, (is created) Al Qassam could be integrated into (a future) national army,” he said, referring to the group’s armed wing.

    Hamas has traditionally rejected a two-state solution that would see a Palestinian state established alongside Israel and has instead advocated the creation of a Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine that today encompasses Israel, the occupied West Bank, occupied East Jerusalem and Gaza.

    There would obviously have to eb a lot of details to be ironed out and definite steps for accountability to both sides.

    Yeah right, this is like WWE wrestling when two bros are about to shake hands, and then the heel dude jumps in the ring with a steel chair and hits them over the head.

    The goal of Hamas is to destroy Israel.

    You see the Crips and Bloods living next door ? Nah breh, drive bye every day

    I don’t know what to make of this proposal. It could be a sign that Hamas is starting to really fear for its survival or it could be a cynical move by putting forward a proposal that they know won’t be accepted.

    I'm not sure it's exactly a proposal, yet. It looked like some members were open to making that proposal. I'm not sure which members at which level.

    lol comeon who would believe these pieces of ****.

    They have made a 2 state solution impossible with their disgusting actions

    Also, after what Israel did it is impossible for any Gazans to forget, there is just no way now. They literally uncovered a mass grave with 300+ women and children (the CF neo nazis were screaming in joy)

    the graves were done by Gazans, but don't let facts get in the way of the Islamist brainwashing media you consume
