Who are "these people"? The Israelis are doing a pretty good job with "more guns, more bombings and the like."

Ther killing of Palestinian civilians is just giving Jihadist terrorists the excuse to commit more atrocities all over the world.
The West had better be prepared because I reckon it's not over even when the war in Gaza is ended.

"These people" are on both sides of the fence
With respect Trawler I don't think the india-iran link was for me... if it's the one linked in your post?On the Israel - Palestine issue.
I found it interesting when reading from an article, found thanks to an @orr link, that Iran is asking India to intervene and get Israel to back off on Gazza.
That seems interesting to me, as Iran I'm guessing didn't tell Hamas to back off, when they attacked Israel.
From the outside looking in, I wonder why that is. Has the issue changed? Has the reaction been different than expected? Has Israels vigor been worrisome?

Yet the killing of Israeli civilians (Oct7) doesn't count?
It's always so one sided with Israel.

Of course it does but Hamas are psychopaths and you would hope that national leaders are something above that.
What's the answer ?
Who knows.

No the link to the article wasn't from you, the link to the news website was what I was referring to and on the last system update I lost all my bookmarks, so I've lost that excellent website.
If you could remind me what it was called, it would be greatly appreciated. It is the one that has articles from several newspapers.

Announcement of a 4 day truce to release 50 Israeli women and children hostages . 150 Palestinian women and children will also be released.
Israel has said they will extend the truce by a day for every release of 10 hostages.
Better than the relentless bombing and fighting.

Perhaps in the short term.
There remains the raison d'etre of Hamas, the obliteration of Israel and the Jewish people.
They might sit down and stfu for now (maybe), but sure as eggs they will do something like October 7th again. They have admitted to such.
No, they cannot be trusted, not one iota.

Exceptionally complex to negotiate, create trust and then organise such a difficult release of hostages.
Excellent story on ABC outlines that process.

Negotiations over the mutual release of hostages/prisoners have been undertaken by all military forces in all arenas of war. The Russians and Ukrainians do it regularly. Both parties have an interest in making these things happen. Both parties have a need to trust and verify. The article I quoted went into the detail of how this is achieved.
