DOHA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday total victory in Gaza was within reach, rejecting the latest offer from Hamas for a ceasefire to ensure the return of hostages still held in the besieged enclave.

Netanyahu renewed a pledge to destroy the Palestinian Islamist movement, saying there was no alternative for Israel but bringing about the collapse of Hamas.

“The day after is the day after Hamas. All of Hamas,” he told a press conference, insisting that total victory against Hamas was the only solution to the Gaza war.

      You’re right in general, but Bibi is a symptom, not a cause. The Israeli public has always been pro-genocide, and they’re shifting to, not away, from the right. We need to recognize that a solution is only possible if the international community forces Israel to compromise.

      No, because you’re forgetting, Palestines don’t want peace either. They’ll accept any deal they can get. But a soon as they rebuild…

      Bang fighting starts again.

          Yes, well most of them.

          It’s literally in their fucking charter… Do you read?

          NOT that Israel is any different, they don’t plan on stopping until they have taken all that land… And probably finished the genocide their currently committing…
