Public sentiment on the Israel-Gaza conflict is predominantly negative, with strong support for Palestine and condemnation of Israel and its allies, particularly the USA, for their roles in the ongoing conflict. Many comments express sympathy for the Palestinian cause, frustration over media bias, and skepticism about ceasefire negotiations. While some blame Hamas for the violence, the overall discussion is marked by frustration over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and disappointment with international actors, reflecting a deep division among public opinions.

International Community

After seeing the recent headlines published by BBC and The UN surrounding the conflict, flag or not, I think we can all agree that the methods that HUMAN BEINGS living in the Gaza Strip have been reduced to, to survive is disgusting. Reports coming from Health officials located in the territory detailing family members being malnourished due to insufficient caloric intake among other things putting pregnancies at risk and those who have just come into the world. 

This cannot be allowed to play out much longer, I refuse to believe a single country, because of its “necessary” blockade of a region for “security reasons” has caused children to be fed out of date food and scraps by their own parents spreading disease and illness where people have been pushed together in makeshift camps because of “military operations”. Mounting piles of Aid needs to be allowed to be delivered before it’s too late, the clock is ticking daringly fast and this is no longer a war.

While the world celebrates Eid, Israel is bombing, displacing and starving Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a war crime.

It’s an occupation, 70 year war, and genocide committed by Israel; not a conflict.

Could Likud Be proscribed as a terrorist organisation?? 

The Likud government have now killed far more than Hamas, who rightly so are described a a a terrorist organisation.

But Likud have killed far more and are planning on killing a whole lot more (2.1 million og the Gaza population + West Bank).

Therefore it only seems right to register Likud and the other far right Isreali parties as terrorist organisations.

When is anyone here going to learn that literally nothing will stop these 2 from trying to destroy each other without USA, Russian or Chinese intervention. They both have millions of reasons to hate each other and it doesn't end until someone loses unfortunately :( 

Another unfortunate truth is that Gaza literally can't exist without the help of the Israeli government because the surrounding Arab countries refuse to help them but are instead using them as shields and martyrs for their own causes. The IDF is NOT innocent at all either so they shouldn't be acting high and mighty cause clearly they've done some horrible stuff

⚠️Action to stop #GazaGenocide 

If you have or have access to an organization or activists or to any leadership in your country, PLEASE pressure them to put forward United Nations General Assembly Resolution 377 A. This resolution can OVERRIDE the reprehensible US veto of the Security Council ceasefire resolution in Gaza and could pave the way for a Chapter 7 (armed involvement by UN forces).

Hey look up the most recent protest that the Palestinians were having and it turns out they were both anti-war and anti-hamas. 

I want to know that this does not mean much other than this is something known as desperation politics. The people of Palestine are reaching for any solution to try and solve the crisis in front of them especially considering that what we're seeing is now considered a full-blown genocide in multiple genocide experts.

Edit:

Genocide experts would disagree with the argument that this is not a genocide.

BetterWarrior

I’ve been thinking for a long time about this.

And honestly I really think that everything that is happening all around us right now, is meant to happen, and has always been.

And there are good reasons to think it.

Because in the Christian holy bible, Israel has to be where it is now, for Israel to be invaded, and for Jerusalem to be attacked by outsiders, and for god to strike them down and Jesus to return.

For the Jewish people, they have to be there because that is there ancestral home and land, that they were promised by their own god in their own Jewish Hebrew bible, and we’re they greet Jesus for his first coming. 

And for the Islamics, the Jewish people have to be there, so that they, can attack the Jewish people for not being more Muslim, and it is said for them to attack Jerusalem, while the Jewish people are there. 

How could all of this be a coincidence? 

There is no free will, everyone is doing exactly what they were always meant to do at this time and in this moment, the end times are coming

NecessaryViolenz

Do you care if Hamas is still able to attack Israel and massacre civilians, possibly instigating yet another war, and enslave and steal from its own citizens after the ceasefire or are those acceptable consequences for you?

Agreeable_Recipe3075

Hamas only agrees to a ceasefire pause when they get worried about their position.

Deciheximal144

&gt;Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has further complicated the negotiations by adding the ‘voluntary’ resettlement of Gaza’s 2.1 million Palestinians as a war goal.


This seems to uncomplicate the situation, not complicate it. 


&gt;A French-Saudi plan intended to break the stalemate in the ceasefire talks would require Hamas to disarm but allow it to retain political influence by functioning in Gaza as a political group rather than a militia.


Won't work, as Hamas will seek to rearm and reexert control. Then we're back where we started.


&gt;Hamas has demanded a Trump guarantee after Israel violated a ceasefire engineered by the president in January, days before his inauguration, by resuming in March its assault on Gaza and blocking the flow of all humanitarian aid into the Strip.


Israel didn't violate the ceasefire. Phase 1 of the ceasefire ended. Hamas wanted to move to Phase 2, but a key requirement for a permanent end to the conflict (the end goal of Phase 2) was that Hamas goes onto exile or turns themselves in, which Hamas did not agree to. The ceasefire was over at that point. Israel then offered an extension of Phase 1 to continue the ceasefire in exchange for more hostages. Hamas declined, insisting on Phase 2. Then the bombs started again.

RoarkeSuibhne

It seems like a rerun of the Biden administration. Very little pressure on Israel, if Hamas is ready to accept the deal then the U.S. and Israel talk, Ron Dermer or whoever adds some more poison pills. Little indication that this is anything different than the first 2025 ceasefire that was just designed to get out hostages then resume the war (and work on finishing leveling Gaza and herding Gazans into concentration camps to then be expelled if possible or stay in those concentration camps indefinitely while the rest of Gaza is completely destroyed so no one can go back.)

In this case (as of the most recent public draft, I read the one Hamas gave to Jeremy Scahill at Dropsite News) there’s not even much around more than a slight IDF withdrawal and slight increase in aid during a ceasefire.

Blaaarrghhh

&gt;US officials admitted Mr. Witkoff’s proposal employed deliberately ambiguous language on the core issues so that the deal would be acceptable to both sides.

Of course because there is Hamas's side which is mostly what your article is about.

Then there is Israel's side which you misunderstand either being in Sinagpore and ignorant or it simply doesn't fit with your agenda.

Then there is Witkoff's side which is to make a deal and get a 'win' by trying to force through some deal with ambiguous language which doesn't work for any side and is just a PR game.

What your superficial article misses is that Israel will not stop the war period. The hostages are not the primary objective they are secondary. While it may accept a pause to get 10 more hostages back it will never agree to end the war until Hamas is no longer a threat to Israel.

Hamas knows that Israel will not stop, so their strategy is to survive long enough to  get the international community to put enough pressure on Israel to change that position. 

The Witkoff deal is terrible for Israel, Hamas gets 60 days to regroup and a huge influx of aid they can steal to pay their employees and fighters and control any dissent. Israel/United States aid distribution will be on pause or permanently terminated and the clock on Hamas survival will be reset giving them a new lease on life.

  
Yet Israel has to appear to agree to the proposal due to US pressure and may even be pressured into accepting the deal if Hamas is smart enough to accept it(so far they aren't).  
  
It simply won't work at best it buys Hamas 60 - 90 days and we will be right back in the same position again. People like you help Hamas with your finger pointing at the Israeli Government and Pro Hamas rhetoric, it still won't work.

cl3537

Well, what is the source of:  
\---------  
Hamas officials have at times hinted that they might accede to Israeli demands that the group’s Gaza-based leaders and fighters go into exile and that rather than disarming, the group would put its weapons arsenal in the custody of a third party, possibly the Palestine Liberation Organisation or Egypt.

Hamas has also said it would not be part of a post-war Gaza administration.

Netenyahu will listen to Trump

The final arrangement will be pro Israel enough for Bibi to accept

metsnfins

Hamas likely won't accept but they should.    A rejection will allow Trump to allow Israel to go full out, more than they already have

maxgrody

I’m proud to be Canadian.  This is a big step in official language from 3 important nations. I know Netanyahu has already dismissed this statement but let’s see what happens. Maybe this forms some sort of turning point.

Nervous-Willow5290

I guess we finally have an answer to the question of how many civilian casualties is acceptable. Fifty-thousand is the number apparently. 

  
Edit: as BuffZiggs correctly points out the 50k statistic includes non civilian deaths on the Palestinian side.

&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; A man carries a child to the hospital following Israel's fresh offensive in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza Strip
&gt; 
&gt; Hamas has proposed releasing more hostages under a new Gaza ceasefire deal, after new negotiations were held on Saturday. The talks began hours after Israel's military launched a major new offensive in the Gaza Strip.
&gt; 
&gt; Hamas has agreed to release nine hostages in exchange for a 60-day truce and Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners, a Palestinian official told the BBC.
&gt; 
&gt; The official said the new proposed deal would also allow the entry of 400 aid trucks a day, and the evacuation of medical patients from Gaza. Israel, in turn, has demanded proof of life and detailed information about all remaining hostages.
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; The new round of ceasefire talks is being held through Qatari and US mediators in Doha, and began on Saturday afternoon local time.
&gt; 
&gt; Israel is yet to respond publicly to the proposed deal, but said prior to the talks that it would not withdraw troops from Gaza or commit to an end to the war.
&gt; 
&gt; The proposal would not include these elements, the BBC understands.
&gt; 
&gt; Israel's military announced the launch of a new offensive named "Operation Gideon's Chariots" earlier on Saturday, amid the deadliest wave of strikes in Gaza in months.
&gt; 
&gt; At least 300 people have been killed since Thursday, rescuers say, including at hospitals and refugee camps in the north and south of the Strip.
&gt; 
&gt; Thousands have died since Israel resumed strikes on 18 March, following the collapse of a fragile ceasefire which lasted two months.
&gt; 
&gt; Aid agencies say Gaza's grievous humanitarian situation has also worsened, as Israel has been blocking supplies of food and other aid from entering the territory for 10 weeks.
&gt; 
&gt; Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this month promised a major military escalation in the war to occupy and control swathes of Gaza, force the Palestinian population to the south of the territory, and "destroy" Hamas.
&gt; 
&gt; Speaking from inside Gaza, journalist Ghada Al Qurd told the BBC's Newshour programme there had been lots of "airstrikes, shellings, drones, shooting and even exploding, in the north and east."
&gt; 
&gt; "It's terrifying and horrible," she said.
&gt; 
&gt; She said her family had only been having one meal a day, due to the scarcity and spiralling cost, and accused Israel of "using food as a weapon" - an allegation UN officials have also made in recent weeks.
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; The BBC's Fergal Keane reports on the rise of malnutrition in Gaza's children as Israeli blockade continues
&gt; 
&gt; Aid agencies have warned about the risk of famine among Gaza's 2.1 million population, as footage and accounts emerge of emaciated children suffering malnutrition under the Israeli blockade.
&gt; 
&gt; US President Donald Trump said on Friday that "a lot of people were starving" in Gaza. The Israeli government has repeatedly rejected claims there is a food shortage in Gaza.

&gt; 
&gt; Victoria Rose, a British reconstructive surgeon working at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that her team were "exhausted" and staff had lost a "considerable amount of weight".
&gt; 
&gt; "The children are really thin," she said. "We've got a lot of youngsters whose teeth have fallen out.
&gt; 
&gt; "A lot of them have quite significant burn injuries and with this level of malnutrition they're so much more prone to infection and they've got so much less capacity to heal."

&gt; 
&gt; Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said on 5 May that Israel was preparing an "[intense entry into Gaza](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd020j97l79o)" to capture and hold territory, but that it would not commence until Trump completed his tour of the Middle East. He left the region on Friday.
&gt; 
&gt; That day, residents across northern and central Gaza were told to leave their homes or places of shelter - an order aid workers say is almost impossible because many have already been repeatedly made homeless during the war.
&gt; 
&gt; The IDF said on Saturday it wouldn't stop operating "until Hamas is no longer a threat and all our hostages are home" and that it had "struck over 150 terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip" in the preceding 24 hours.
&gt; 
&gt; Strikes on Saturday hit towns in the north of Gaza, including Beit Lahiya and the Jabalia refugee camp, as well as in the southern city of Khan Younis, the Hamas-run health ministry and civil defence forces said.

&gt; Thousands of Israeli troops, including soldiers and reservists, could enter Gaza as the operation ramps up in the coming days. Israeli tanks have also been seen at the border, Reuters news agency reported.
&gt; 
&gt; The intensified offensive has been condemned by the UN and some European leaders.
&gt; 
&gt; Commissioner-General of the UN's Palestinian refugee agency (Unrwa) Philippe Lazzarini expressed shock at Israel's military operation, saying: "How many more Palestinian lives will be wiped off from their homeland by bombardments, hunger or lack of medical care?"
&gt; 
&gt; "Atrocities are becoming a new norm, under our watch, making the unbearable bearable with indifference," he said.
&gt; 
&gt; Following the new strikes, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani all called for a permanent ceasefire, while Germany's Foreign Ministry said the new offensive risked "worsening the catastrophic humanitarian situation for Gaza's population and the remaining hostages".

&gt; 
&gt; At least 53,000 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry, including more than 3,000 people since March.

For all their cutting edge technology (including that AI hubub), the IDF is still unable to get rid of Hamas. The US estimates there are about 30,000 Hamas members. How many do you think are dead? I saw a whooole bunch when the first truce was announced.

They've resorted to just starving absolutely everyone. All that advanced weaponry US citizens spent their tax dollars on, useless. 

Look at Yemen. A bunch of poor people living in the mountains were able to inflict some real damage. All those fancy bombers and weapons barely phased them.

We could have had universal healthcare.

ExoticCard

Any news that involves a release of hostages and any length of ceasefire and aid distribution is good news.

That being said, Israel likely will reject this. This proposal is timed to try to prevent the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation from taking over aid in Gaza which is the plan where Palestinians have to all huddle near 4 distribution centers to get aid. We know this is the intent because Hamas could easily have made this proposal last month.

My guess is that Hamas plans to release hostages for a temporary ceasefire every time aid runs out and the GHF tries to take over aid distribution, which could prolong this situation for at least until the end of this year.

And while Israel and Hamas play these political games, Israel will continue to starve and bomb Gaza.

All this bombing and ongoing siege is not going to wipe Hamas. It’s going to strengthen them. You go to someone’s home and starve them, beat them, block off their water and food, bomb them and get surprised if there’s retaliation? With all offense intended: Piss off. 

And it’s obvious Israel isn’t interested in finishing Hamas off they need a reason to continue carpet bombing Gaza.

My daughter (32F) is so obsessed with the Palestinian cause you’d think she was a descendant of refugees.  I tell her both sides have nationalist extremists that hate the  “other” and, if the Israeli peace activists like Miko Peled can’t fix it, no one can.  They’d both have to awaken to Who Jesus Is.
