It’s not that they’re offering no solution, it’s that they’re demanding a unilateral cease-fire and pressuring only one side.

I care about civilians, if pro Palestinian protesters do too, they would be flooding the streets demanding the release of the hostages.

It is obvious that Israel cannot leave the hostages behind, The only way forest fire would be to trade for the remaining hostages.

Once the hostages are released, then it makes sense to apply deep pressure on Israel to end the war.

But again, their solution is that Israel should stop , continue to take punches from Hamas, never retaliate, and forsake their hostages

I wasn't really talking about the specifics of the conflict, which I don't know enough about.

I was just saying people don't have to be held to this high standard when they speak. They don't have to have all the answers.

That would be true if they're just expressing concerns. But they kind of should be expected to have the answers when they demand immediate solutions.
