Yes, war anywhere is ugly. Ideally we'd maturely solve problems with words and respect. But don't call for one side to cease fire at the expense of the other. Both need to peacefully stop.

 @B2BM93Xfrom Ontario  answered…4wks4W

No, I believe more so in a ground sweep to specifically target Hamas to avoid the civilian casualities which Hamas uses as shields.

 @B29S24Xfrom Kentucky  answered…4wks4W

No, but Israel should try to minimize its attacks to only places where terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah are meeting.

 @B29BM44from Ontario  answered…4wks4W

This is not a Canadian problem, we have enough issues to deal with. Israel is surrounded by terror threats and they have the right to protect them selfs, that being said there should be a two state solution but it’s up to those countries to figure it out

 @B28797Sfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

No. Hamas is a criminal terrorist organization and the Palestinians support this hate group so the ceasefire is pointless

 @B25LX3Vfrom Montana  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but there's also been multiple ceasefires that have been broken, so I understand the stupidity of those who still cry for a ceasefire

 @B23CRQ3from Nova Scotia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, and we should also commit to supporting the Palestinian Armed Resistance groups to eliminte Israel and Zionism.

Netanyahu Faces Revolt: Far-right Threatens Walkout Over Hamas Deal

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, as he faced pushback against the US-brokered agreement from his far-right allies.Netanyahu’s government, which relies on the parliamentary support of two far-right parties bitterly opposed to any deal, accused Hamas of backtracking on Thursday morning.“Israel will not set a date for a cabinet and government meeting [to approve the deal] until the mediators announce that Hamas has approved all the details of the agreement,” Netanyahu’s office said.Israel said earlier on Thursday that Hamas was seeking to dictate which Palestinian prisoners should be released in exchange for Israeli hostages.Netanyahu’s statement came as a finance minister Bezalel Smotrich’s far-right Religious Zionist party said on Thursday morning that it could leave the government if the deal led to a permanent end of the war.Speaking to Kan Radio, Zvi Sukkot, a lawmaker from the party, said it would “in all likelihood” resign from the government if a deal was approved, since its mission was to “change the DNA of Israel”, not just make up numbers in the coalition. The party said later on Thursday it was “a condition for the party to remain in the government and the coalition” that Israel should resume fighting “immediately upon the conclusion of the first phase of the deal”.While Smotrich and his far-right ally Itamar Ben-Gvir are not thought to have enough support in the cabinet to torpedo a deal should Netanyahu put it to a vote, if they both pulled their far-right parties out of the government, it would lose its majority in parliament.This would not automatically spell the end of Netanyahu’s government, as Israel’s political system does not bar minority governments, and opposition parties have said that they are prepared to prop up the government if needed.But the loss of his two far right allies would shake Netanyahu’s hold on power and could lead to early elections.
