The killing of 10,000 children. Blasts leading to amputation—sometimes carried out without anaesthetics—and lifelong disabilities. Entire populations, including pregnant women and children, facing hunger, a quarter of them (576,600 people) at catastrophic levels, – that means at the risk of starvation and death. Warnings from the UN children’s agency that nearly 335,000 children under five in the Gaza are at “high risk of severe malnutrition and preventable death”. Thousands of children buried under the rubble and presumed dead.
The balance sheet of 100 days of war on Gaza is grim. It is a dark moment in history that we see on our television screens.
“If there is a hell on earth today, its name is northern Gaza,” in the words of one senior UN official.

At noon on Tuesday, hundreds of students gathered on Cross Campus for a walkout titled “There is No Back To School in Gaza.” Students listed demands of the University, including publicly supporting a ceasefire and boosting support for Palestinian studies and scholars.
Is either side even interested in a ceasefire at this point?
Since October 2023, both sides ask for ceasefire under some conditions. Those conditions are not met due to the historical settler colonial background of this conflict.
Hamas recently issued an ultimatum to Israel that there must be a permanent ceasefire in order for the remaining hostages in Gaza to be released.
(...)
Israel’s rejection of Hamas' initial demand was expected
The following article describes the unwillingness of the Israeli government to prioritise its people, from their point of view.
Weinberg, 27, who spoke to CNN in Tel Aviv’s so-called Hostage Square, where the families have gathered for weeks to protest, was angered by the killing of a top Hamas commander in Lebanon earlier this month - widely attributed to Israel. She said some of Israel’s “military action” is “directly endangering the hostages.”
The country’s leadership “must put the release of the hostages at the top of its priority list,” Weinberg said.
part of the problem was that the Israeli government has two aims: the destruction of Hamas and the return of the hostages.
“But there can’t be two aims because sometimes these aims clash - like the elimination of al-Arouri,” said Weinberg, referring to the drone strike that killed Hamas number two Saleh al-Arouri on January 2.
I went from October 2023 to a timeline of the question of Palestine, and then added 2 recent articles.
Most of these supported by links, in order to try and have a conversation in good faith.
What I get from you is:
Kinda leaving out an important part there.
I am leaving literally most parts out. This is why the links are present.
Do you have some sort of constructive comment to add, or should we leave it here?
A ceasefire is totally feasible, with the right amount of pressure from the international community. Well, the west/colonial states could also help by not arming Israel, recognising that Gaza is the biggest open air prison that ever existed/apartheid, recognising the right to exist of Palestine. The dehumanization of Palestinians doesn't help either. 10000 children dead do not occur in a war, it occurs in a genocide.
Still, even if you are not looking for a timeline, it is not possible to answer your question without taking into consideration how we got here. This is not something that started in October 2023.
Anyways, in case you don't like reading take a look this speech and you'll have you answer:

Blockchain is a horribly inefficient, wasteful implementation of a distributed ledger which can be created in many other ways.
The novelty with blockchain is related to a paradigm shift. Instead of having a centralised entity controlling the servers for instance, blockchains provides a transparent and decentralised alternative. Transparency comes from its open source nature, and thanks to transparency the open source community -or anyone actually- can verify the claims of decentralisation.
If a blockchain is not 100% open source, it's just another centralised thing.
