    How do we know the number 10,000 is true. Its not like the Hamas or the Gaza authority are a bastion of truth.

      We know it’s not true.

      There’s no way to count the bodies and separate dead civilians from dead terrorists.

      Nobody seems to care.

        Good point that we can hardly differentiate civilians from terrorists. Does that justify any civilian deaths?

    What the article actually says…

    U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is touring the region to try to reduce the risks of the conflict escalating, get more aid into Gaza and draw up plans for a sustainable future for both Israel and the Palestinians.

    To the OP that’s both sides of the table

      The other links I provided say different … like this one that says Blinken doesn’t want to push for a ceasefire because it would let Hamas regroup.

      I included other sources to refine my argument.

        And it would allow Hamas to regroup. From a military standpoint it makes zero sense.

        If you want to have an argument, don’t dress it up as news.

            Because your admitted goal was to present an argument, then you editorialize at the same time. Thats not news, that’s your opinion. Put it in in comments where it belongs.

              If you’re unhappy about how I do things, that’s fine. Don’t read anything I post then.

      A pity because for once the UN is right about something and it is actionable. Easier to stop combat than it is to stop using oil.

        Telling Israel to let the terrorists take a smoke break to regroup is not actionable. If they want anything done, countries need to start offering real solutions.
