Israel has rebuffed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call for a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza.

Mr Blinken said he had discussed the idea with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials during their talks in Tel Aviv.

But in a TV statement minutes later, Mr Netanyahu said Israel rejected “a temporary ceasefire that does not include the release of our hostages”.

He said that Israel was “continuing with all our force” against Hamas.

      Oh so your solution is to kill 2.4M people in the course, how noble of you. I hope your parents are really proud of how good a job they did as parents.

          Ah yes, of course! It’s so much more humanitarian to evacuate 2M+ people out of Israel because Israel wants their land.

          So tell me how you would feel if someone comes to your home with a gun and tells you that tomorrow you should move to another place with all your family? Seriously!

            It’s more humane to move millions away from hamas rule where they are used as human Sheila’s and lack basic quality of life.

            If someone comes to my home with a gun I will shoot them or die trying. I wouldn’t allow them into my home and let them attack my neighbor. But that isnwhat Palestinians did when they voted in hamas

              I was about to block you when I saw that your 222 comments have the astonishing -999 karma.

              Perhaps it is time for you to look in the mirror and ask yourself if all the people here are wrong or there is something wrong with your moral compass, empathy, humanity, etc. I feel sorry about people like you.

                Why would I care what others think?

                Imagine gay right activists throughout the decades giving up because some people didn’t like thier views. Or African Americans or women or Christians.

        Of they don’t evacuate that js what will happen. Of they evacuate they will find better loves outside of hamas control and will have bo reason to become radicalized
