I’m not going to be measured now. This is a _disgusting_ allegation. I ask that you not only withdraw it this time, but apologize. I’m not amplifying Hamas propaganda. You’re not gonna call my country an apartheid regime and get an apology from me. Don’t make me laugh. Once again, just like I said about Netanyahu. You could make plenty of valid criticisms about Israel and their treatment of Palestinians. Instead you amplify Hamas by calling Israel an apartheid regime. Yeah, I am going to keep calling you out for doing so, and no, I am not going to apologize. > [@Banquet\_Bear](#): > > What matters right now is an end to the siege. What matters right now is that we stop killing children That was the logic in 2014 that prevented a ground invasion. 1,400 dead Israeli civilians later, a ground invasion is necessary. _This will not end until Hamas is finished_. A ceasefire just kicks the can down the road. You think Hamas will use a ceasefire to distribute aid to Palestinians under their control, or to foritify and dig in and make their eventual removal even more difficult (and even more costly in terms of Palestinian civilian lives)? > [@Discussion thread for the Hamas Attacks Israel thread, October 2023](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/discussion-thread-for-the-hamas-attacks-israel-thread-october-2023/991317/1215): > > I completely agree with you. And this means that we must remove the Hamas regime as quickly as possible. Exactly. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-israel-an-apartheid-regime/992614)._
