I'm not sure a man who isn't aware of the wider meaning of the word 'snipe' should be making bets on military terms.

would you accept the bet too?

 

[Knave of Hearts]

Put up or shut up, no more replys unless you accept the bet.

I think you need professional help.

Gambling disorder is associated with grandiose narcissism and an inability to regulate emotions.

Narcissism causes such problems as:

Anything that involves the truth, anything that gives credit to anyone else, anything that involves them failing or losing, anything involving shame or vulnerability, or anything that involves how well they interact with others.

It looks like it describes you exactly.

In a video statement published on his Telegram channel discussing his visit to the US, Benjamin Netanyahu said the IDF “will remain in most of the territory” as part of the plan drawn up with Trump, and that Israel did “absolutely not” agree to a Palestinian state. Netanyahu said:

It was a historic visit. Instead of Hamas leading to our isolation, we turned the tables and isolated Hamas. Now the entire world, including the Arab and Muslim world, is pressuring Hamas to accept the conditions we set together with President Trump: to release all our abducted – both living and dead – while the IDF remains in most of the territory. Asked whether he had agreed to a Palestinian state during his visit, Netanyahu said:

Absolutely not, and it is not written in the agreement either. But one thing we did say: we are firmly opposed to a Palestinian state. President Trump also said this; he said he understands our position. He also declared at the UN that such a move would be a huge reward for terror and a danger to the state of Israel. And of course, we will not agree to it.

Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, a member of Netanyahu’s coalition government, blasted the plan as a “resounding diplomatic failure”. “In my estimation, it will also end in tears. Our children will be forced to fight in Gaza again,” he said.

So just hamas against it then? let Israel carry on till they eradicate them, seems the only solution

What did people think would happen after hamas killed so many civilians in Israel? it's panned out exactly as i and others predicted.

@ Al Jazeera says - the proposal does not recognise the right to Palestinian statehood. Rather, it acknowledges statehood as something that Palestinians are seeking. Like the other provisions, this one is also shrouded in vagueness and ambiguity.

When you read through the 20-point plan you can see the levels of ambiguity contained within the rhetoric, combined with today's announcement from far-right members of Netanyahu's war cabinet who just won't give up on their policy of establishing a Greater Israel. Who will appoint the members of this 'Board of peace'? It doesn't say. It's more of a smorgasbord of tidbits designed to arouse Western leaders into hoping the war can end with no regard for highlighting the details of a day-to-day solution for Palestinians to work with.

And, in reply to @Mottie asking about other genocide in the world:

Haskel went on to South Sudan, a staunch Israel ally, promising aid to the fragile, young country currently caught in armed conflict between President Salva Kiir and sides loyal to First Vice President Riek Machar. Haskel, in a statement, deployed whataboutism, questioning why all eyes were on Gaza when countries like South Sudan also face humanitarian emergencies.

What the diplomat did not mention was that her visit came right as reports leaked of talks between Israeli and South Sudanese officials over controversial plans to forcibly transfer Palestinians from Gaza to the East African country. South Sudan has denied the talks, despite reporting from credible sources like Reuters and The Associated Press news agencies. The forcible transfer of Palestinians under Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza could constitute a war crime. Allahu Akhbar@Al Jazeera

What Israel seems to be doing is spreading a network among against critics of its policies against Gaza, notably SA, and tempting them with promises of aid and arms. Considering what's going on in Darfur atm, their support is consistent with their fascist policies.

What did people think when Israel killed nearly 200 Palestinians over 5 years, before 7th October 2023 The vast majority of them being women, girls and boys..
And that was just in Gaza.

Ah yes, the world took no notice.

What terms were changed in Trumps 20 point plan remains my question.

Let's ask someone who was there...

Standing next to Donald Trump on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged that he had accepted the plan put forward by the United States president to end Israel’s war on Gaza. But a few hours later – and this time speaking in Hebrew rather than English – Netanyahu couched that agreement, telling his domestic audience that he definitely had not agreed to a Palestinian state and the Israeli military would remain in most of Gaza.

On paper, Trump’s 20-point plan fulfils many of Israel’s stated war aims: the return of Israeli captives, the dismantling of Hamas as a military and political force, and the creation of a temporary international administration in Gaza unlikely to threaten Israel. But agreeing to any deal has political and personal costs for Netanyahu, who has kept his government together largely because of his insistence that the war continue. Is he finally ready to end a conflict that has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians? Or will he find another way to prolong the war?
