DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back Saturday against growing international calls for a cease-fire, saying Israel’s battle to crush Gaza’s ruling Hamas militants will continue with “full force.”
A cease-fire would be possible only if all 239 hostages held by militants in Gaza are released, Netanyahu said(snip)
also insisted that after the war, now entering its sixth week, Gaza would be demilitarized and Israel would retain security control there. Asked what he meant by security control, Netanyahu said Israeli forces must be able to enter Gaza freely to hunt down militants.

They are fighting for the life of Israel against barbarians that want to exterminate them. No contest, keep fighting.

Hamas is deliberately using the hospitals for its media/psyops propaganda. A "militant" projectile of some kind hit the hospital gate. Not one bit of official verification. But IDF is being blamed.

Hamas has broken every
cease-fire since 1947. 14 times. Hamas will use cease-fires and pauses to slip away just as Osama did.

Anyone else notice the names of the so-called reporters of this Hamas slanted article? No doubt the Obama/Biden Junta are the ones really pressuring Israel to stop the life or death necessity of eradicating Hamas and the Islamic Jihad from the face of the earth. God how I hate and loath the communist death democrat propaganda media.

"The Israeli military has alleged, without providing evidence, that Hamas has established command posts in and underneath hospitals, using civilians as human shields." So saith the AP, American Pravda.

No more dollars for Israel, or Palestine, or Iran, for that matter. We have paid for both sides of this war. Not one cent more.
How many lives could we have saved if we we gave them nothing? No more money to these thieving vampires!
We have blood on our hands, and we are morally bankrupt.

The firing will cease when Hamas is wiped out.

I don't doubt that the situation is bad in the hospital.
I also don't doubt that the hospital spokesperson is in league with Hamas in his basement.
Hamas set up shop there for a reason, and this response scenario was in their play book.
What would our response have been to international calls for a cease-fire after Pearl Harbor?

Have FAITH in our One True God, Israel. He wants you to shame allah and give some Palestinians one last chance to recognize the true God. Many many refugees will be walking away from this (literally walking) praising the God of Israel.

Blinken made two trips to Israel with the "cease fire" message and Biden attempted to go but was not welcomed. The United States is stupid enough to declare their own defeat while winning a war but the Israelis can not afford to do that. Bravo IDF.

There must be a winner and a loser. No need to debate endlessly with ceasefires based on emotions. IDF knows what to do. Netty must stiff arm Woke War Lite heroes!

There will be time enough to CONSIDER granting a Cease Fire to the Palis—who have violated every cease fire since 1947–but ONLY AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES UNHARMED

Good for Bibi...this is NOT the time to back off...the fact that Hamas' supporters are making so much noise is....ready?...is because they are losing in Gaza and the IDF is hurting their game plan....and they were counting on Bibi getting frightened because of all the demonstrations in this country....not happening...WE stand with Israel till the job is done....God bless Israel and keep her safe from murdering terorists that kill babies and children and innocents....

Notice all the pre-printed and professional signs at these “demonstrations”. Someone is paying and coordinating these events. Soros, CAIR?

At this moment in time, Hamas and Israel are the key players in a spiritual war, a battle between good and evil, God (God's people Israel) against Satan (Satan's people Hamas). It is prophecy being fulfilled, with wars and rumors of wars that will not end until the return of Jesus Christ, Who will return to this earth in Power and Glory and will rule with righteousness and truth from Jerusalem (after the rapture and the seven year tribulation period known as (Jacob's [Israel's] Trouble). If America decides to take the side of Hamas, it will be choosing it's own destruction. Those who bless Israel God will bless and those who curse Israel God will curse. But... most people in this nation couldn't care less about God or about Israel, so our future, doesn't look good. The forces of evil are at work in this nation and have the ear of most people. Pray, they don't get their way.
