He stood out from the TV pack with his bowties, bushy moustache and movie reviews studded with cheeky turns of phrase.
@chargrille OFC staff will deny things knowing that they're more or less held at gunpoint.
Hamas knows where the doctors and their families live, so I don't even take this against them.
Fact is that #Hamas has commited the crime of aggression and they'd get their ceasefire if they released the hostages.
Because if there's one thing we know from the Causa #Shalit it's that #Israel will do whatever it takes to rescue the hostages...
And they ain't alone in that regard.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Israel goes full Yalta on #Hamas and since the Gazans can't disarm and disband Hamas nor make them stop firing rockets it seems only fair. Germany was also forced in a conditionless surrender in WW2... War is always ugly. It's just that we didn't see Hamas livestreaming their Crimes of Aggressions but we see the expectable reaction now. Remember: It's Hamas that decided to put their HQ under a hospital and to abuse all Gazans as human shields. #thxbye #next
