Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

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.

US could force Israel to comply

how? cutting support would cause hamas to be emboldened. using force would be throwing decades of treaties away (and remember this started because israeli civilians were killed in a terrorist attack) and alienate a nuclear power... just like cutting aid to ukraine, all that would happen is israeli civilians and gazans would continue to suffer

netanyahu isnt going to moderate because the un passes a non binding resolution and hamas isnt going to moderate because the us pulls funding

Apparently you were too lazy to read my previous reply, so I'll repost it for you. Save your speculation as to whether or not Hamas would be emboldened, it's meaningless nonsense.

What tactics has the West utilized against Russia that they have not employed against Israel?

Economic sanctions. Apply them to Israeli leadership in the military and in politics. Plus Business leaders and bankers. Prevent Israeli banking institutions “from accessing SWIFT, the international system for financial transactions, and restricting access to Western financial markets.” Ban Israeli access to international goods and services import as well as export. Let’s see how long their military can go without oil.

remember this started because israeli civilians were killed in a terrorist attack

This started because Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian territory and has violated every cease-fire over the last 15 years. If you think it started on October 7 you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
