Anthony Blinken is against a ceasefire, claiming it will bring about more Hamas terrorism. It's not about reponding or retaliating, it's about Israel's defense and trying to ensure this can't happen again. Hamas undertook the slaughter and knew Israel would have to respond, and they placed all their leaders and weapons in residential buildings, underneath hopitals and schools, knowing tat in Israel's necessary reponse, there would be civilians casualties. Israel can't be expected to let this situation continue. No country can live like that.
