The incident has sparked intense criticism and debate, with Hamas claiming that the release of the four captives does not change the strategic failure in Gaza and that the resistance still holds a larger number of captives.

This is why no one, ever, should donate for US led humanitarian aid. This is called perfidy, and it is a war crime. To create military infrastructure disguised as aid infrastructure or using humanitarian infrastructure to conduct military operations is a war crime. I suppose just another line on the laundry list of crap that Israel and the US have done in the past 6 months alone. But the worse is they just destroyed the credibility on the ground of any aid initiative and made it even harder for anyone trying to help to be trusted again.
yes, US and Israel have a long history of using the cover of humanitarianism to do military actions. https://x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1799605369141948538
I got downvoted heavily for stating this fact. Glad it's being acknowledged

Geneva Suggestion
Geneva Guidance.
Treat it like the lost arts to commit war crimes.
Every single accusation is a confession.
Haven't the IDF killed almost 40k, half children, at this point?
Killing innocent people is wrong. So is kidnapping innocent people. Honest question, do you think those 200 would have died in the hostage rescue operation if there were no hostages? Also Hamas = Palestinian. Palestinian does not necessarily = Hamas. Depending on how you report it changes the situation significantly. Let’s rewrite the article headline with some reality baked in. Over 150 Hamas terrorists killed with historically low collateral based on the demographic of the area during daring rescue of innocent bystanders who were kidnapped by Hamas militants and Palestinian civilians during an invasion on oct 7
Nitpick but your use of the = sign is astonishing. If A = B then B = A.
When I made this graphic months ago, I expected I'd only need to use it one or twice. Unfortunately, it's seen a lot of action.
Don't worry though guys, it's totally not a genocide, the government told us so and we all know how much we can trust the government.
I belive the term ethnic cleansing and ethic violence is more accurate than genocide, and I think it's more helpful to the propalestinian argument as it's less debatable, but you do you
