Finally found it.

I would hope so, it's literally the 2nd paragraph 🤣

Means that both are guaranteed to happen. But only one party is part of the UN and bound to the decision.

That's why it's the security council. They could actually enforce it. But it's a shame getting the hostages out in exchange for stopping the mass murder is not enough motivation.

It would be simple. Hamas could surrender and lay down their weapons. Release the hostages. But, no. They still fire rockets at Israel, they still fight house to house.

[–] OccamsTeapot@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yawn. Anyway, I only commented to inform you that the hostages were included in the vetoed resolution.

Israel could also simply stop trying to occupy and colonize Palestinian soil but they sure as fuck won't.

In 2005 Isreal actually physically removed every Israeli from Gaza.

Then proceeded to blockade them and kill their economy.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not quite, Gaza elected Hamas in 2006 and started collecting materials. Then Israel blockaded some goods.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The blockade started in 2005. 3 months before Hamas is elected. Also "started collecting materials" what do you expect a government with a genocidal explicitly hostile neighbor to do?

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say, and honestly I don't care.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -5 points 11 months ago

Fair enough. I don't care about your drivel either.

[–] TheCrispyDud@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

How magnanimous of them to have the people leave who shouldn't of been there in the first place. Then proceed to screw over their own people they brought back after the fact.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com -2 points 11 months ago

Sure, sounds like colonizing doesn't it?
