    Given the events of the past 8 months would you say Netanyahu, and by extension the Israeli government, have been negotiating in good faith and actively trying to end the war?

      There has been one temporary ceasefire with hostage releases. Also remember the recent ceasefire for vaccinations. There are a string of other events that happened because of successful diplomacy.

      Israel’s message to Hamas since the beginning of the war has more or less been: surrender or die.

      Netanyahu never does anything in good faith. He is all about his personal advantage.

        There has been one temporary ceasefire with hostage releases.

        And there have also been instances of Netanyahu sabotaging getting hostages released as well.

        Also remember the recent ceasefire for vaccinations.

        You mean for polio right? The disease that started spreading because of Israel’s commitment to depriving children of basic human rights like clean water and healthcare, right? The same ceasefire where Israel has been reported not allowing vaccinators to enter right?

        There are a string of other events that happened because of successful diplomacy.

        And there’s a longer string of events of unsuccesful diplomacy on the Israeli side. I’ll also remind you that this list doesn’t start from October by the way.

        Israel’s message to Hamas since the beginning of the war has more or less been: surrender or die.

        Israel’s message to the Palestinian people is to simply die. Let’s not confuse what’s actually happening here.

        Netanyahu never does anything in good faith. He is all about his personal advantage.

        Oh, so you agree he’s untrustworthy?
