Hamas has called on Israel to allow an impartial international investigation into its attack on 7 October 2023 and has rejected that it killed civilians or committed atrocities.

“The resistance did not target any hospital, school, or house of worship; it did not kill a single journalist or any member of ambulance crews. We challenge [Israel] to prove otherwise,” it said.

In the new document, Hamas said that “Western media and Zionist lobby groups” had launched a disinformation campaign about the events of the attack.

“The Israeli entity promoted a series of lies and fallacies about killing children and raping women, paving the way to proceed with an all-out genocide project that was pre-planned and aimed to erase Gaza from existence,” it said.

Naive is thinking that if they do, the problem will be solved.

I agree that they should be forced to withdraw without precondition. I also add that both parties should submit to a peacekeeping force that will reabilitate and reform both societies for integration. Also without precondition.

You need to address the causes of the conflict on both sides, otherwise one of the two parties will just continue to reignite the conflict as they have been doing since the 1940s.

What a bunch of bullshit . The cause of the conflict was Zionists coming from Europe forcing a state on the land by ethnically cleansing Palestinians then started building settlements making a Palestinian state impossible . The proof that the problem was always Zionists only is that in the 1881 a bunch of Yemini jews came to Palestine and was welcomed by the local population and integrated . Things got bad only when it became clear that the Zionists came to the land to take it all.

The reality is that Israel is the major power. Israel could end occupation right now and if hamas keep attacking they can reoccupy in a day. While Palestine could be liberated today and would take at least a century if ever for Hamas to be able to destroy Israel

We saw how your peacekeeping bullshit doesn't work in Lebanon. We saw how the lack of armed resistance in Syria led to Israel annexing the Golan height and declare sovereignty on it and now after the fall of the butcher Assad Israel occupied more land.

I will tell you exactly how thing should work. Of course it will be hard to do but it's logical. The west should stop supporting Israel since it is the occupier then ask Israel to dismantle all the settlements and to end the blockade on Gaza. The PA will be the official temporary government that will get full support from the world from money to weapons. If Hamas refuse to drop arms then the PA will be in charge to dismantle Hamas. Since the blockade in Gaza would end , Hamas will lose most it support.

I dont disagree with the steps you highlight and that Israel certainly controls the immediate future. I just think that those steps dont go far enough.

Nor did the peacekeeping efforts by the UN in recent times. This is largely the failing of the US undermining the international community. What should have been happening since 2023 at least is an increasing sanction pressure followed by military intervention to protect civilians. But so long as the superpower have the veto, its prone to being corrupted by small interest groups, like the zionists. They only need to convice or compel a few dozen people to shield Israeli leadership from consequences.

People need to learn from the Lessons of the post war WW1 restitution vs the post war WW2 reabilitation. Without reabilitating both sides, the conflict wont end.

What people dont always remember was that post WW2, not just Germany got socially reabilitated, but also the countries they occupied. without that the seeds for the next conflict would be sown in the hearts of the occupied.

The reabilitation happen after the occupier surrender.
