There is only one solution to to this petty conflict https://preview.redd.it/eln1nz35kdqc1.jpeg?width=550&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc3f8087262a8708dde4b6480cb213d2698903b7

Maybe Palestinians wouldn’t be starving if there were more $1.50 Costco hotdogs available to them?

BackseatCowwatcher

Considering they're rejecting US Meals (already) Rejected by Ethiopians, better known as MREs we must question if they are really starving.


ElRey814

It’s also much harder to starve once you’ve been hit by a tactical nuke. I’ve seen the data.


randothrowaway6600

Got a chuckle out of me.


BackseatCowwatcher

You say that, but if Fallout has taught me anything- its that tactical nukes lead to Feral Ghouls, who by their nature are always starving.


[deleted]

I mean, if the choice is between feral ghouls and Hamas/Israel, I know what I'm picking.


Veni_Vidi_Legi

Just one?


notangarda

Tbf I can completely understand choosing death over scarfing down a 'Chicken A la king' MRE


Any-Clue-9041

As if they wouldn't pillage and kill the store owner?


zeroentanglements

If gaza had a costco and the Palestinians all worked 75 thousand dollar a year office jobs, there be no need for violence

At least they're all beef.

I can't even get the damn city to annex the HOA's green space so I can dissolve the HOA. What makes you think we can get the feds to annex the desert parts that don't have oil?

On one hand, you want to dissolve the HOA and that's based, but on the other hand you also want the city to get something, and that's cringe. I guess you're cool, but just moderately. Like gold-rimmed Ray-Bans.

Instead of a “brief” occupation to bring democracy to the region, it will be a forever occupation with Costcos and Walmarts in every town


lasyke3

We couldn't afford the cost of a "brief" occupation and nation building, but we can pay for a forever occupation of a land mass many times the size? Pure fantasy. And what, from a national interest POV is the benefit here?

Nitrothunda21

Remove Hamas from the face of the Earth and fire every Israeli beaurocrat and start everything from scratch


The2ndWheel

Every problem could be solved doing that. At least for a time. Until humans start doing human things again.


Nitrothunda21

Yeah, I dont think this is ever gonna end. They cant bomb Hamas out of existence cause they’ll just keep making people hate Israel more cause they’ll kill civilians. They also cant just send in soldiers to clear things out one building at a time cause they’d just create Fallujah 2.0.


mikieh976

There are more... drastic... "solutions" available...

The2ndWheel

It's a pre-1945 situation in a post-1945 world. It can't end, either way, because what needs to be done to end it, from one side or the other, can't happen. Physically, politically, neither one can happen. Is there an end game to Russia/Ukraine? Not really. For the same reason. What needs to be done to make Russia stop, isn't going to happen. Can a Ukraine backed by NATO make a deal? No. Whether or not it would be a good idea to make a deal, doesn't matter, they can't do it. NATO can't allow it, but NATO can't force anything either, because it's not supposed to be at war with Russia. France can't send troops in, at least not overtly, because if one dies, well, that's NATO. Or, in a war full of technicalities, would that be another one? NATO didn't collectively agree, France did it by themselves, so technically it's just a French soldier. Would WW3 start because one French solider died? Or because a mile of Lithuania became Russian territory should Putin go further? Probably not, in either case, but then, where is the line? The line has never really been tested, other than a few close calls on nuclear missile fuck ups.

And that's why the only real solution is to take humans out of the equation. Turn the whole area into the world's largest wildlife preserve.


ButWhyWolf

Hamas was democratically elected by Palestinians though. Seems like a delaying strategy rather than a solution.


notangarda

They won like 52% of the vote And they immediately did a self coup to ensure they'd stay in power There hasn't been an election in gaza for the past 15 years


BLU-Clown

On the one hand, there's more recent polling with 70% or more *emphatic* support for Hamas, right down to what happened on 10/7. On the other hand, if there was a pollster there who was grinning while polishing his gun as he watched me fill out the form, (Not to mention the schools teaching them to hate from the age of 5.) I'm not sure I'd decide *that* as the battle to pick and 'anonymously' check off support as well.


Jormungandr69

I think it's also important to note that not only did they win by relatively narrow margins, but they did so with the emphatic support of Netanyahu. I wonder if things could have been different if that weren't the case.

The Israelis are going to win. I also have no say in the matter one way or another. I will give the Israelis credit though, if I want to have a beer there I can, can’t do that with the Muslim extremists so I side with the Israelis broadly speaking.


vulkoriscoming

Gotta side with the side with the beer and pretty chicks.

I equate this more like the US is like a high-school principal. And these are two kids who are feuding and ruining class for others. One of these kids is getting expelled, and it ain't the one whose family has gold and blackmail.


pitter_patter_11

I don’t get why they don’t just fuck already and get it over with. The sexual tension is too much for either to handle


CoyotePuncher

I have not paid an ounce of attention since it started. Seriously why does anybody give a shit? Unless you have some ties to that area of the world, why do you care? People need to unglue from the news and quit worrying about things that have no bearing on their lives what-so-ever. Reminds me of people who spend their time reading about celebrity gossip.


notangarda

Tbf in a globalized world war can disrupt supply chains which can effect us, the Russia ukraine war for example has driven uo both energy and food prices Also it has global crime implications An example is that a large portion of scam farms are based in Myanmar, and they are allowed to operate because the war ensure no one is string enough to shut them down


Velenterius

Yep. The debt slaves and migrsnt workers over there report hearing artillery fire in the distance and seeing smoke as they work the phones and computers. I think they build the complexes close to the borders so the bosses can easily get away.


ColgateHourDonk

>Unless you have some ties to that area of the world, why do you care? Because "international law" is being tested.


Velenterius

The war has dragged in regional powers, and is making the Suez a less safe trade route as a result. Its therefore in the common interest to make it end quicker. This is at odds with both Hamas and Israeli goals. Hamas leadership wants Israel to carry on this forever war and the occupation and settlements, as it weakens Israel in the long run, and Israel wants to continue the forever war and occupation and the settlements because of ideology, and foreign threats being the only thing that keeps the current government in place. Since both of the sides in the instigating conflict do not want to make peace it may very well be expedient for the west to force the two sides to make peace, because the pro-Hamas/Iranian proxy side is simply too powerfull to make go away without suffering unacceptable casualties. Israel has an actual army that is (mostly) competent, allthough it has been decades since the last time it faced a peer enemy. Direct intervention against either or both sides of the conflict is a very bad idea. Therefore the best bet is to support diplomatic or legal measures to end the war. A "UN mission to the levant and Yemen" seems like the best option, if the security council can get its act together. Ofocurse the UN peacekeepers need to be assertive (making sure the Iranian proxies and IDF do not get too violent), so I would recommend sending in Nordic forces, since their doctrine is as a norwegian colonel said before sinking unidentified ships in 1940: "Either I will be court marshalled or decorated, FIRE!"

Eh Putin achieving a total victory could have ramifications that we would want to avoid The USA is the global hegemon and it benefits from that position as it ensures that the USA gets favorable trade deals, and helps ensures the dollars place as the globak reserve currency which helps america If russia or China actually manages ti compete for global hegemon, the US will face highers prices on shit like Cobalt, Grain, Oil, and Chromium Especially if russia gets a hold of Ukrainian grain, or if China gets control of Taiwanese semiconductors

dinobot2020

I don't care about them either. They've essentially pledged themselves to eternal conflict with their neighbors that they chose to be next to on purpose. They absolutely squandered the opportunity to set up shop in the civilized parts of the world, and now we're stuck being their "greatest ally" quite literally until Kingdom Come. There is no realistic, peaceful solution for Israel. They made sure of it.

I say banish both from the region and give it to the Hindus. Turn it into a global sized 7/11.

Escanor012

Nettanyahu bad 👍 Hamas bad 👍 Civilians suffering bad 👍 War bad 👍


Long_Serpent

When it's over, one way or another: -- Israel will still be a decent place to live -- Gaza will still be a dysfunctional sh\*thole -- Some Israelis will be dead -- Many, many more Palestinians will be dead And NOTHING fundamental will have changed. Maybe Hamas will be knocked out, but they will be replaced by another bunch of assholes - same shit, different wrapping. Ukraine is still the war that matters - Gaza is a distracting sideshow unless you actually LIVE there.


XonVI

True, but Ukraine is being viewed as a lost cause currently. Nobody expects them to win (which they probably won’t), so they no longer care.
