   Israel can just blow up a city and killing thousands of people. The only country that might be able to stop this and force a ceasefire is the USA.

   However, when you ask US politicians about this, the most sympathetic response will be a combination of "But what about October 7th?" and also "But we're *asking* the Israelis to kill slightly fewer civilians!"

   You know what would kill the least number of civilians? A ceasefire, that's what.

     #WarInGaza, #WarInUkriane

     Interesting aspect and would fit in with my analysis of the #Kremlin being one of the major beneficiaries of the war in #Gaza.
     What ate your sources for this claim?

     The evening before HAMAS attacked ISRAEL , they received millions in Bitcoin from Moscow.
     Truthfully , they are still trying to pretend that they are living in the dark ages & their foolish religion has set them on the path to extinction.
     2024 and they still have the 72 virgins stuck in their pointy little heads😂😂😂

     Hamas fighting Israel is a clear case of asshole on asshole violence, with a lot of hapless people stuck in the middle. The best thing that could happen would be for everyone to turn the guns off and go home.

     Because Israel is winning, as everyone knew that they would, they are unwilling to entertain the idea of a ceasefire.

     What might change their mind is if their patron state decided that this bloodbath had gone on long enough and threatened to halt support unless they stop.

     A thing about saying "but what about Hamas?" and "but what about October 7th" is that Israel's response to that has already been disproportionate; they have killed an order of magnitude more civilians than died in Hamas' attacks.

     Everyone paying attention knows that Netanyahu's government wants to sweep the Palestinians out of Gaza and has used the provocation that Hamas provided them to do exactly that. Their genocidal intentions are a matter of Public Record.

     Too bad, but thanks anyway for the response.
     I have this issue mentally "bookmarked" now.
