A big part of the problem is that this is a genocide, not a war, but all the framing is around negotiating a “ceasefire” to end the “war” even as Israel keeps rejecting any ceasefire agreement which would require them to end the genocide.
Hamas insists on an end to the genocide, and Israel goes "No can do, but tell ya what: we can pause the war for a few weeks!" And then the mass media go "HAMAS REJECTS CEASEFIRE" while liberals go "Oh it's so sad that they can't negotiate an end to this terrible war!"
But it's not a war, it's a genocide. You can negotiate an end to a war, but you can't negotiate an end to a genocide. Israel has openly declared that the killing will continue until there are no more Palestinians left in Gaza, either by death or by ethnic cleansing. Israel wants to eliminate all Palestinians from Gaza more than it wants the remaining hostages. It wants to eliminate all Palestinians from Gaza more than it wants peace. Hamas has nothing to offer Israel that it wants more than it wants to purge Palestinians from a Palestinian territory.
If this were being treated as a genocide, all law-abiding states would interfere to force Israel to stop. But because it's being falsely treated as a "war" they just stand passively by and periodically cluck about ceasefire negotiations, thereby allowing Israel to continue its genocide.
