Hamas is seeking a permanent cease-fire, for displaced civilians to return to their homes in northern Gaza, allowing sufficient aid to flow through all crossings, a plan to rebuild Gaza and a withdrawal of the Israeli military from the enclave.

While all wars are different.  And the scales certainly are.  But I wonder what these three guys would have said to a similar German proposal in early 1945.  I think they demanded abject and complete capitulation.

Great pic for an anti-smoking campaign. From Wiki, FDR underwent testing at Bethesda Hospital and was found to have hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease causing angina pectoris, and congestive heart failure.

2 state solution is the only solution.

Agreed as far as I'm concerned.  But Hamas will never agree.  One state "from the River to the Sea" is not just a slogan.  They mean it.  So does Hezbollah.  Peace (or a truce) are only a vehicle to prepare for the next round of the conflict.  While they are not as vocal, I'm  sure there are many Jews that feel the same way.  Better to get it over with.  Those twelve virgins await the losers.

The Hamas fight is just a skirmish for the main event.

Schumer (senator majority leader in USA) is calling for new elections in Israel. Democracy in action. Demanding regime change of an ally.
