Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If you won't even acknowledge what even The Jerusalem Post acknowledges, I can't help you. You're clearly not living in the real world.

No, Hamas forces are steadily getting smaller. If there are new recruits, they are not enough to make up for the losses.

Your link:

Hamas may have lost half its battalion commanders by December, while half its battalions had been broken down as well.

The article suggests that they can recruit in the future, and maybe they can. Or maybe Palestinian militants will join a different organization, as I suggested.

But for now, Hamas is definitely smaller than they were in October.

You either did not read the whole article or are dishonestly taking that line out of context.

But for now, they are smaller than they were in October.

This is also dishonest because we are not talking about "for now," we are talking about how this war will end, if it ever does.

You clearly have an honesty problem and I don't see why I should continue this discussion further.

You said the Hamas military is growing. It isn't.

You showed me an article that speculates about how it might grow in the future, but that doesn't mean it's growing now. It doesn't even mean it will grow in the future. It's just speculation.

As for how this war will end: I don't know and neither do you. You seem to think that Israel will kill 100% of Palestinian children but I don't believe that will happen.

Which is what we are obviously talking about when talking about reaching a military objective.

I am tired of your blatant dishonesty. This has all been about justifying Israeli genocide and I wish you had just been honest about that from the start.

Goodbye.

Are you suggesting that Israel cannot achieve its military objective?

Maybe so, but that does not mean that they intend to "kill all children" (or that doing so would be justified), despite your assertions.

I have been trying to follow this discussion, but this is taking it a bit too far...

Would it be rude to suggest a ceasefire?
