  1. SS: Hamas faces an existential choice over a US-brokered ceasefire plan that would require it to disarm and give up any future role in governing Gaza. There is immense pressure to accept the deal from Arab countries and from the devastated Gazan populace. Even though severely weakened militarily, Hamas could potentially survive as a political movement, even without its weapons. The group’s existential decision is to weigh the humiliation of accepting the surrender terms against the continued destruction of Gaza if it refuses.

  2. I was surprised how reasonable Trump’s deal was. Seems to give everyone what they want. Except Hamas that is, but even Hamas would be given amnesty in the deal as long as they disarm.

    There is no logical reason for this war to continue. Hopefully Hamas comes to that conclusion, for the good of the people they claim to represent.

  3. The line from the Pro-Palestinian movement and even the UN special rapporteur -has been that Israel is committing a genocide that needs to be stopped immediately. Therefore, Israel must be pressured to accept whatever terms Hamas is willing to give.

    Now those same people are demanding Hamas reject this peace deal. They don’t want to end the “genocide” unless doing so accomplishes their political goals.

    It could not be more revealing that they don’t actually believe it’s a genocide and they don’t actually care about the Palestinian civilians they are more than willing to continue sacrificing to their left wing cause.

    They literally don’t want it to stop.

  4. This might be the strangest “genocide” in history where the supposed victims have so much say over everything

  5. Accepting this plan would be tantamount to suicide for the Palestinians as a whole, not just Gaza or Hamas. The Palestinians are supposed to just accept complete capitulation to the same powers that have been facilitating their mass murder on vague assurances that they’ll get an apartment at some point down the line. All while their killers not only walk away Scot free, but stand to make massive profit from the redevelopment of Gaza. The conditions are so ruinous for the Palestinians that I fully and wholeheartedly believe it’ll cause a mass recruiting drive for all of the active resistance groups in Palestine, and very likely the birth of several new ones. The west is essentially asking the Palestinians to accept their demise and be grateful

  6. I don’t really understand what Hamas thinks it stands to gain in this scenario. Any objective analysis of the situation should lead them to the conclusion that their actions only supply israel with a pretext to render gaza uninhabitable and displace its people. 

  7. You are telling me that the guys getting killed need to decide if they want to stop dying or not? Wha a strange world

  8. My prediction is Hamas is going to call Israel’s bluff and keep fighting. They are so delusional they don’t know how badly they screwed up with Oct 7th. they were expecting Hezbollah, Iran and other nations to come to their aid. They may be winning the social war online but the reality is Israel is on a revenge war path and they don’t care about the UN or reputation.
