“You cannot kill them all.” In a remarkably candid interview, former US diplomat Ryan Crocker warns Israel that the wars in Gaza and Lebanon must reach an end diplomatically. “The harder one stamps, the more militants one seems to engender.”

@WajahatAli Israel’s stated policy has always been killing not diplomacy.

The aim of the war is for your enemy to surrender. Peace comes through victory. Good people support victory over the Islamic Republic and their allies.

You are an anti-israeli disguise as a journalist! All your interview somehow are with people who criticise Israel. Shame on you 🤬

What if you can’t kill all the Israelis or Jews? Doesn’t it make a little sense to make peace with em, Christine? Hm?

This silly American thinking is why the region is such a shit hole right now. Yes, you absolutely can kill them all. How's ISIS and Al Qaeda doing these days?

Hamas must surrender and release the hostages. That is how this war will end. Immediately.

To paraphrase the late Christopher Hitchens: “We must never give in to the logical fallacy that the root cause of Islamic terrorism is our resistance to it.” Israel has the right to defend itself. Full stop.

Lost me at “only one genocidal act … and that was on October 7” really shocking he can still say this with a year of footage never mind actual genocidal rhetoric from govt down to lowliest footsoldier.
