OP
And if Hamas refuses to listen to governments, why would they listen to activists?

Exactly. They are terrorists and extremists, logic plays no part in their actions

No reason to believe they won't break another ceasefire considering they've said they plan on more 10/7 like events. Then what?

There have been protests in both Israel and the U.S. ever since they started this horrific war - calling for a ceasefire and the release of hostages.

(744 posts)3. Right.
I don't think people understand Hamas. They're not interested in peace. They want Israel gone. Jews dead.

Otherwise they wouldn't have attacked a superior power and started a war.
