Despite Gaza death toll soaring, U.S. unlikely to rethink weapons supplies to Israel - Lemmy.World

Genocide Joe is his legacy.

Bush: Iraq and Afghanistan… Obama: Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya Joe: Palestine

Then USA media be like: Why there are terrorists in the Middle East and why they attack the Uniyed States…

Just adding to this as a reminder. Hamas kidnapped American citizens as part of the 200+ hostages.
And Hamas actually wants to return them, but Netanyahu doesn’t want to negotiate and would rather flood the tunnels and kill them all.
Kinda… hamas wants to exchange for people for some known terrorists, some are just kids throwing rocks but some are hamas main line terrorists
Not just "some" are kids throwing rocks. Setting aside the Israeli justice system's ability to fairly judge Palestinians, there are thousands of Palestinians being held without trial.
Sorry but what? If Hamas wants to return them, why did they take them in the first place?
Because hostages are one of the few ways Hamas has to get concessions out of Israel. Those usually include freeing Palestinian political prisoners and loosening the blockade.
Don’t bother these people don’t even read news and will go through hoops to justify the IDF report of killing people at the rave party to not be taking hostage.
Really? Hamas wants to return them? Is that why they couldn’t produce any more hostages that weren’t raped, beaten, or dead?

Huh, that’s weird given that this article showed up in my Google News feed the other day: nbcnews.com/…/israeli-hostage-handshake-hamas-rcn…

I guess you can choose to selectively ignore it because it doesn’t match your worldview. If that’s what you want to do.

After she was freed, Israeli hostage offered a handshake to Hamas

After she was freed, Israeli hostage Yocheved Lifshitz offered a handshake to her Hamas captors.

NBC News

“I went through hell,” Lifshitz said at a hospital in Tel Aviv early Tuesday.

Her captors beat her in the ribs with sticks, she said, making it difficult to breathe. She was visibly exhausted and physically worn. But she told reporters that she offered the handshake because the Hamas militants “were gentle with us” while she was imprisoned in the “spiderweb” of tunnels under the Gaza Strip.

Stockholm Syndrome textbook example right there. Kidnapped and beaten by Hamas, but thanked them afterwards.

I don’t know where you’re getting anything from that article that says Hamas wants to return hostages. This was part of the ceasfire agreement Hamas broke.
