Interesting niche of people (and it is a niche, even on here) who very clearly desperately hope the ceasefire plan to end the war fails not because it's bad on the merits (it is) but because it would undermine their "hope Dearborn is happy" schtick if it succeeded

LOL OF COURSE

The Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2025 is literally a staunch supporter of Netanyahu and his genocide on Gaza 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Nobel Peace Prize winner Mara Corina Machado supports Israel’s war and Benjamin Netanyahu? Here are the facts

Maria Corina Machado had strong political ties with Netanyahu’s Likud party and has said on Twitter that “Venezuela’s struggle is Israel’s struggle” when it comes to the matter of terrorism

Didn't she also spend much of the past two decades lobbying both parties in Washington for harsher sanctions and trying to build support for U.S. military intervention in her own country? Oh well, at least they didn’t give it to the other guy.

The war may be "over" on the news,
but the hunger didn’t end. The fear didn’t end.
My suffering didn’t end
I’m not asking for much…
just a chance to live, to stand back up, to feel human again
Please don’t turn away
Please don’t forget me
Your support is the only thing keeping hope alive in my heart

Now I live in a tent.
Still cold. Still hungry. Still broken.
Every night, I dream of normal life.
Every morning, I wake up to reality — nothing has changed.
The world might be moving on,
but we are still here — trying to survive among the ruins.

They say the war is over... but the pain inside me hasn’t ended.
The bombs may have stopped falling, but the struggle is far from over.
I'm Sakher — a young man who lost everything in this war.
My home… gone. My memories, my work, my future all destroyed

But I must also add, your initial response to me seems steeped in an Orientalist mindset. I would advise you to read more books by West Asian authors so as to grasp a deeper understanding of our region. Here's one that would behoove you: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.
