    The point is not that making a call for a cease fire will actually cause it to happen, but what is the stance of the future PM of this country. Will he unrelentingly back Israel in their war which puts millions of people’s lives in jeopardy, or will he work for peace?

      The point is not what might actually happen but [symbolic gesture, contentious framing, more contentious framing, platitudes].

      A ceasefire will do fuck all for the overall situation, it just saves lives now at the cost of future lives. Its just a liberal take that is no actual solution to the issue at hand. The issue being there are two far right wing, religious groups who hate each other and have no qualms with civilian deaths being a part of their hatred.
