We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

and ceasing all hostilities, including Israel’s operations in Lebanon

This is why I have doubts. Netanyahu needs his genocide to continue. He won't stop killing unless the US stops supplying him and we know that won't happen.

How about the world finally holding Israel accountable and gradually isolate it? Israel would never dare to do a genocide, if rhis happened decades ago

Israel will become isolated because they dragged the US into this war, weakening the country that they relied on.

Europe needs to ban all Israeli from entering the EU and expel anyone with an Israeli passport.

Better have real sanctions on the state of Israel itself

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 5 hours ago

No, the exact opposite: The EU should encourage the minority of Israelis unhappy with Netanyahu and co to resettle. An Israeli mini-exodus is already ongoing, and encouraging more of that would do more to hurt Israel than shutting Israelis out of most of the developed world. As a plus, an influx of liberal highly educated immigrants is always nice to have. That's of course different from tourists, which absolutely should be banned from entering the EU

That's the primary job of Trump.

Eh, the current US government is as self centered (and also desparate) as it gets. They can just blame Israel for everything and force them to stop if they want to. And I think Iran has every intention to make them want to. What we've seen so far is only the beginning of inflation and shortages, it's going to get way worse.

The Trump administration is practically unable to continue like this. They will lose the midterms and with them pretty much all initiative they have left. They have to make a deal. Either that or invasion. And invasion is ironically a political capitulation in this case, and incredibly costly in every sense as well

Russia, China, and the EU should get together and negotiate a deal with Iran. They could offer a different perspective, and Iran trusts them more. If they negotiate a deal, it will put pressure on Trump to follow.
