Calling for a ceasefire after brutally murdering women and children is laughable.
Was it laughable when it happened in Ukraine?

The squad will wear this stain for the rest of their lives.
They are proud of it. It's truly bizarre that anyone can think that way.

Do you see a difference between condemning the violence while calling for a cease fire and cheering on and supporting terrorists that rape and murder innocent men, women, and children"?

The Muslims waged a war against Israel and lost. They lost their land. Spoils of war.
Today, however, the practice is referred to as “looting” and “pillaging” and is illegal under U.S. and International law.
The Lieber Code, Brussels Declaration (1874) that recognizes the prohibition of pillage and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, modified in 1954, to avoid, if possible destruction of enemy property and, in fact, to provide protection for it.
The Statute of the International Criminal Court provides that in international warfare, the "pillaging a town or place, even when taken by assault" counts as a war crime.
The Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 explicitly prohibits the looting of civilian property during wartime.
What can legally be taken as war booty, spoils of war, or as a trophy?
Ukraine has been zero threat to Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine early Thursday morning.
Putin is concerned over NATO's expansion and has falsely said Ukraine is committing genocide.
In a speech Thursday morning, Putin said the invasion of Ukraine was an act of self-defense against NATO expansion.

By all means...show your work...
Ministers, senior officials and representatives from around the world called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and for peace talks to commence, decrying the crimes being committed against civilians and children, while warning against escalation of the conflict into a third world war, as the Security Council addressed for the second time in a week the impact of the conflict on both the region and the international community.
Antony Blinken, Secretary of State for the United States, said when President Vladimir Putin found he could not break the Ukrainian military, he tried to break the Ukrainian spirit. Despite the thousands of men, women and children killed, the energy infrastructure destroyed, and children abducted and relocated to the Russian Federation, the spirit of Ukrainians is stronger than ever. The Council should not be fooled by any calls for a ceasefire, he stressed, noting that the Russian Federation will use any pause in fighting to replenish its forces. “Russia fights for conquest. Ukraine fights for its freedom.” If the Russian Federation stops fighting, the war ends, but if Ukraine stops fighting, it ceases to exist, he warned.
Mr. NEBENZIA (Russian Federation), said the word “peace” — used by the West — means infliction of strategic defeat of the Russian Federation, and ideally, followed by the disintegration of the country. These true goals of Western interference were explained nine years ago, on the day of the 2014 coup, which resulted in a hostile Russophobic regime on his country’s border. “Ukraine is up to its elbows in blood and Nazi tattoos,” he asserted, pointing to the nine-year period of elimination of Russian-speaking citizens in Donbas, denying Russian-speaking Ukrainians their universal rights and freedoms. It was at that time that the Ukrainian internal conflict erupted. “Ukraine is not a victim,” he declared, noting that if Ukraine did not wage war against the people in Donetsk and Luhansk, there would have been no need for Moscow’s special military operation. In addition, Crimea would have probably remained within Ukraine, as people in Crimea chose reunification with the Russian Federation only after direct threats from the Kyiv authorities.

Yeah, and Trump says he could end the conflict in a day, if elected. And even when he was President, and afterwards, he advocated for a ceasefire, and for Zelenskyi and Putin to sit down in a room, he'd be right there to help broker that deal!
The only silver lining is that some of us are starting to agree again. Common adversaries tend to do that.
“The Squad” needs to be kicked out of federal government and tried for treason.

Ah, I should have started my post...At the same time......
to help you to make the association to Trump's call for a ceasefire, at the same time Biden and Blinken were not....calling for a ceasefire.
"This is collective punishment, a war crime, and the U.S. should oppose any violations of international law if we truly support a rules-based international order. Instead of continuing unconditional weapons sales and military aid to Israel, I urge the United States at long last to use its diplomatic might to push for peace,” she stressed.
Tlaib said in her statement over the weekend, “The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation, and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere should have to suffer or live in fear of violence. We cannot ignore the humanity in each other.”
“As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue,” she continued.
U.S. Congresswoman Cori Bush called for “ending U.S. government support of Israeli military” in a recent statement around the deadly Hamas attacks in Israel.
“These devastating attacks on Israelis are deeply alarming and my heart breaks for the victims & their loved ones,” Pressley wrote this weekend on the X social media platform. “We need an immediate ceasefire & de-escalation. It is long past time to stop this cycle of violence & trauma, and work toward a just & lasting peace in the region.”
Today is devastating for all those seeking a lasting peace and respect for human rights in Israel and Palestine. I condemn Hamas’ attack in the strongest possible terms. No child and family should ever endure this kind of violence and fear, and this violence will not solve the ongoing oppression and occupation in the region. An immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives.”
“The bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment. It also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas’ horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation,” she said.
