Ok, small start... Are they gonna end the apartheid, give back all the stolen land, and pay restitution to the victims? Or is it like the "ceasefire" in Lebanon?

Gonna be honest, despite me having no faith in Israel, I think they genuinely did not want this ceasefire in the first place unlike in Lebanon; I still think everything will be bad going forward, but at least there will probably be an end to the missile strikes. The fact that they're doing this ceasefire tells me that for some reason they're scared of Trump (and I genuinely don't know why; he honestly does not strike me as anti-Israel in the slightest).
There will definitely be zero restitution, and I think even if Trump is going to put his foot down on this ceasefire, even he won't demand restitution.
Genuinely speaking, Palestine has lost so much compared to what they've gained (the eyes and ears of many around the globe), but Israel has certainly lost any goodwill they had except with Germany and the American government (I'd like to think most of us are firmly pro-Palestine at this point, or at least not pro-Israel). I think any government that continues to support Israel at this point are at least under no illusion that they're helping some poor, weak country that needs salvation (and by illusion, I mean they can't even lie to themselves anymore about it).
Ilan Pappe stated that before Al-Aqsa flood, he felt the cause of Palestinian liberation was really on the ropes and possibly done for. Saudi legitimization of the entity would have been disastrous, and the Resistance themselves cited this as a reason for launching Al-Aqsa Flood; now that’s not happening anytime soon. Now Pappe says he think the entity is living on borrowed time.
Not to downplay the unimaginable price paid by the Palestinian people over the last 15 months, but the story isn’t over yet. It is certainly possible that down the line, schoolchildren will learn that it was Al-Aqsa Flood that was the beginning of the successful liberation of the Palestinian people and maybe even the end of the Zionist entity (inshallah).
I don't believe the way this has turned out is going to make your prayers come true.
A sudden ceasefire under Trump II reopens the door for the Saudis (and other sunni states) to make agreements with Israel and present it as the only viable path to long lasting peace. Not doing so will only allow Donzie to give Bibi the nod to take really the gloves off.
And there's no way that Hamas is going to be able to pose a similar threat in the next few decades anyway. They seem to be giving in to most of Israel's demands under this deal. Even the smallest rocket attack will be seen as them needlessly restarting everything.
Anyone here think journalists will finally be allowed in to extensively study everything, or do you think Israel will still prevent them going in? I can't imagine Israel would be stupid enough to allow in journalists from around the world to confirm that yes, this was a genocide, especially not with an arrest warrant already out on Netanyahu and the defense minister.
Mainstream media is massively pumping articles about every Israeli human rights violation. They are trying to catch up their past year of censorship.
censorship
I wish I believed it was censorship; the way they talked, it was complicity.
Oh yeah. I mean their own censorship. They are releasing their months old footage proving Israel was committing war crimes.
Peace candidate trump lol
Waiting for the day after inaugeration so Don can take credit?
Kinda on Biden since he had the entire last year to do this
I wonder if the ceasefire is motivated in part by the collapse of Assad's government.
Not at all. That benefitted Israel. This is a hundred percent Trump.
I don't follow
Assad was joined with Iran against Israel. The new group in Syria appears to be cracking down on resistance and has actively stated they have abandoned Palestine.
Yeah I know this. But how does it follow from this to trump being responsible for the ceasefire?
With Hamas seemingly agreeing to most of Israel's terms, I think he gave them a hard 'last chance' in order to force it.
Biden could have done this for ages but didn't. Instead he just sent another 8 billion in weapons to Israel.
Biden had nothing to do with the delays. It is like saying Carter could have gotten those Iranian hostages out before the election... no he couldn't. One party to the deal was waiting until after the democrats lost the whitehouse until they accepted it.
