This Hamas spokesperson just said they would never stop and that they were willing to pay the price.
The Chinese have had a saying about this situation:
“When two great armies meet on a narrow road between mountains, one army must give way.”
Hamas has very clearly asked for this conflict and invited it, and has in effect said “We challenge you Israelis in a fight to the death. May the best army win.”
So calls for a cease fire are a waste of time.
Neither party’s army is fulfilling its responsibilities and sworn oaths to protect and defend if it stops now.
Before I saw this I could see the point of the cease fire protests. Now it’s clear that there’s no point, given that the core Hamas tactic is to hide and operate within civilian populations and critical infrastructure.
