25 hostages are coming home from Gaza. With more to come. There is finally a glimmer of hope, and great joy and relief for their families.
@georgetakei AND 150 Palestinian children who've been held hostage under indefinite detention.
@JJand5gypsydogs @georgetakei Has Israel released them??
@JJand5gypsydogs @georgetakei @Jon_Kramer Dunno, but surely not after a resounding indoctrination and brainwashing. -_-
@OdinVex @JJand5gypsydogs @georgetakei , I think that is expected for anyone who takes hostages.
@JJand5gypsydogs @georgetakei @Jon_Kramer Maybe an explanation for why they've done what they've done, but maybe not *expected* in particular.
@georgetakei Ceasefire is a wonderful thing... 24 Hostages released! and Part of the deal is RELEASE 10 MORE HOSTAGES, GET ONE MORE DAY OF CEASEFIRE... The War Could be over in a month.
@georgetakei @Gregvan Ths is not how we want to be. Taking hostages is an affront against all civilisation and this "deal" is blackmailing against the people who care about the hostages, and nothing else. Ceasefire is one thing. But abusing people as hostages should bot be part of it.
@textcontainer @georgetakei @Gregvan all the Palestinians living in Gaza, are hostages, held there by Israel
@Gregvan @ColmDonoghue @georgetakei This is not true and you know it. Try to recognize that anti-semitism is ethical wrong, I can't convince you, you have to convince yourself to use non-toxic rhetorics.
@textcontainer @Gregvan @georgetakei is some other state preventing them leaving the Gaza Strip?
@ColmDonoghue I am not interested in your disgusting right wing mindset, stop texting me.
@georgetakei and many more Palestinian children and women who were held hostage in Israeli prison for years.

@georgetakei

In the meantime, it’s highly likely 250,000 residents of Gaza are either dead (more like 25,000 to 50,000 dead at this point) or are suffering long term health effects that in many cases are just beginning and will absolutely result in death. I don’t think that number is an exaggeration.

They were already living in densely populated areas with a 50% unemployment rate before this even started. No wonder they were pissed.

@georgetakei I'm praying for the safe return of ALL the remaining hostages, soon πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™
@georgetakei 25 hostages - great. ... and how many Palestinian kidnapees are coming home from Israeli prisions? (You forgot to mention).
