That's the beauty of it, the deal isn't for an end to the genocide, just a temporary pause so that Israeli hostages can be exchanged for Palestinian ones.
And then presumably the released Palestinians will be bombed.
I don’t see how this is even particularly generous. It’s a 40 day slowdown in genocide and an agreement for Hamas to release prisoners in exchange for Israel temporarily releasing hostages that historically they just re-abduct within days anyways. And then after 40 days it’s full speed ahead of civilian slaughter again, probably with a freshly regrouped and re-armed IOF.
Israel temporarily releasing hostages that historically they just re-abduct within days
Can you explain this or link something? I know Israel imprisoning Palestinians for years without charges is monstrous but I haven't heard of them doing this after prisoner exchanges.
I could have worded it better. I’m not necessarily saying that Israel will re-abduct the exact same Palestinians within a few days, but rather than Israel is constantly taking hostages. Israel could agree to release 100 hostages, but what’s the point when they’ll end up abducting 200 more the following week. It’s why prisoner swaps with Israel heavily favor Israel, they see hostages as a renewable ressource.
Lol, wth is this bullshit? We're past the point of this kind of propaganda having any kind of effect, dude. They fucking double tapped World Central Kitchen workers who were in contact with the IDF to make sure their route was approved.
Yeah, and I'm sure they're dumb enough to fall for it the eighth time. Israel's definitely done genociding this time, they pinkie promised they won't come back and finish the job in another two decades when everyone forgets again. If only Hamas could be more reasonable and just accept Israel's incredibly generous offer to return to the status quo of Israeli settlers stealing Palestinian land and killing them when they protest!

As opposed to the current situation of Israeli settlers stealing Palestinian land and killing them even when they don't protest?
Fuck, the solution to being a captive who believes they will be killed isn't to put your captor's gun to your head and tell them to pull the trigger. If you're operating off of the assumption that a ceasefire is unacceptable short of Israeli capitulation to Palestinian demands, regardless of how justified, despite the fact that they have overwhelming superiority at this point in time and are on the cusp of completing their long-awaited genocide... I don't really know what the fuck to tell you.
If I was in politics or was looking to get into politics in the future, I would be trying to get arrested publicly for this. Look at the people who got arrested during the civil rights movement.
If I was Hamas I would give Israel the finger and laugh at them. This is not an offer in good faith.
Biden is worried about the optics of the genocide he is fully supporting, but he isn’t really doing a damn thing to stop it.
Biden was just barely going to be able to eek out a win under the best of circumstances before this started, now however I don’t think he can win the election, specifically because of his full gung ho support for this genocide.
And the fact that he is calling the protestors anti semites is completely laughable.
Biden isn’t going to take any real concrete discernible action to stop a literal genocide and that is going to cost him this election.
And whoever wins the election is also going to support the genocide. But I guess if Trump wins it will be the biggest genocide, the best genocide. Everyone will be saying it.
(From Hamas’ point of view the only acceptable compromise is a total end of the hostilities on both sides. Any temporary solution will only allow Israel to continue the genocide after the 40 days)
