Hamas not responding to attempts to get hostage negotiations back on track
Hamas has been unresponsive to overtures made in recent days to try to restart hostage negotiations, a source familiar with the efforts told CNN, as the US and other mediators try to resurrect talks that would see more hostages who were abducted on October 7 be released from capt...
You're viewing a single thread.
At the same time Israel was releasing Palestinian "prisoners" (largely children and largely imprisoned for petty crimes like throwing stones) they were capturing and imprisoning from the West Bank (where there is no Hamas) roughly the same number of people as they were releasing in Gaza.
Throwing a stone is not a petty crime, it's called assault with a deadly weapon
If you’re a crowd who throws 100 of them, perhaps. Not one little boy, throwing a single stone. Don’t be ridiculous.
Nah, a stone can be a deadly weapon. Even one.
Head trauma is no joke is.
a grape can be a deadly weapon under the right circumstances. that doesn’t mean it is one.
you’re still being ridiculous.
Head trauma is no joke is.
yet you’re not dead. I rest my case.
There are people who die from getting hit by a stone
Plenty more get killed by Israelis these days.
Oh so that makes it okay
Kids throwing rocks at the people operating the open air concentration camp they're detained in with the food, water, power, trade and movement restricted (at best) as Israel levels their homes, displaces and kills them? You're right - I think there's far bigger concerns than the kids throwing rocks.
What do you think it says about you that you'd use a few kids throwing rocks as justification for shooting, shelling, bombing, and starving thousands of children, innocent civilians, and turning every building in the area into said rocks?
I'm pretty sure kidnapping and killing thousands was the justification. Israel does detain people without charging them, but I find that the actual problem instead of the teenagers being charged with a crime in an actual court.
So Israel's response to Hamas' actions (a group Israel propped up over moderate secular orgs for reasons that definitely don't involve manufacturing pretext for the genocide of people they're keeping in an open air concentration camp) was a reasonable, proportionate one that's killed what - 18k so far, potentially tipping Israel over the "10k children killed since October" line?
There are the overwhelming majority who don’t
Majority of people who get stabbed also don't die, is that why people here defend "children" who stabbed Israelis and went to prison?
Why are teenagers not children? Please explain.
Because childhood has a definition
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child
A child (pl.: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty
lmao
Why are they imprisoning children?
If you care so much about children, ask the Israelis why they bomb hospitals full of them. Almost 8,000 children massacred and counting. Nice genocide ya got there.
Are you lost or just desperate for attention?
When people say children, it includes people who are 16 years old.
When people say stone, it includes gravel and dust
Do you take the same attitude with your sexual partners?
What do you call killing thousands of children?
I don't know, why don't you ask Hamas, since they are the experts in killing children
Suddenly you're all bashful about slapping labels on stuff?
It's OK - we can try another - what do you call a group that's killed orders of magnitude more children than the "experts in killing children"?
Also experts in killing children. Who said either of the sides is blameless?
It's implied in you running straight past Israel's actions to focus on condemnation of Palestinians comparatively minor actions - or is there another explanation?
I don't condemn Palestinians
So what do you call the group killing many, many times more kids than the "experts in killing children", and why did you deflect to the comparatively minor crimes of Hamas?
At this point, Israel has killed far more children in this war than Hamas. So I'd say they're both experts, but Israel is the one with more experience.
Arresting kids for throwing rocks is petty enough as it. Labeling their actions as assault with a deadly weapon before you arrest them is just absurd.
How is it petty? It's actually physically dangerous to people.
