are against Netanyahu.

My point was that the Arab leaders and the Palestinian protesters are not allowing any context. Context gets you a pause today at 2PM so families can flee to South Gaza from the North like the IDF said Saturday. Only one way. Hard time lines like the ones given gets you Israelis committing war crimes. That is what they want: to have absolute control of how to define things. That may work in a Palestinian traditional marriage as defined by Hamas but it doesn't work in the real world. Really, a cognitive opening takes place during war and it would be nice if that psychological opening included peace on all sides as an aspiration, not just Israel making war on its own, but how it started and how it will end.
