Does Hamas have any guarantee that doing so will stop a single thing Israel is doing or will do? The answer is clearly no because - as even rational factions in Israel will concede - the war is about population engineering, land annexation and settlement, not the hostages. It was clear from the very first two weeks when that intelligence report leaked laying out war options which included exactly what we are seeing, when Israeli leadership declared starvation plans and stated that Gaza would be reduced to a "city of tents." And just last week the IDF let kahanist lunatic settler Daniella Weiss enter the strip to survey land for settlement. The hostages don't matter on any political level, only on a propaganda, morale and moral level.
How about you fucking wait until we see what he'll do before being smug about it? He says "hell to pay" but that's exactly what Biden has been doing, with more platitudes.
If Israel cared about hostages being released, they would have handled it by now. They've given up on saving the hostages, and just using them as an excuse to massacre civilians.
Oh but haven't you heard? No wars under Trump. Trump will end it as soon as he takes office, or so I heard from some voters dumb enough to no longer be in my life.
The Biden administration has been working since last year with Israel and international mediators, including Qatar and Egypt, on a cease-fire deal that would include release of the hostages.
I'm sure this is just a coincidence and all that was really needed to end the conflict was an old man yelling "Don't make me come in there".
After all, Hamas has such a long history of being scared of the US and trying to avoid poking that particular bear. /s
This is what the people in Dearborn voted for—along with the people of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and others.
Across the board, almost every category trended rightward (edit: by way of staying home, you know what I mean) since the last election. Ask yourself: why is your first instinct to attack the tiny minority in Michigan who have been treated as subhuman for months? They’ve been held in constant limbo while their families are killed, ignored as they plea for mercy from a government that continually sinks deeper into racism and hatred.
If I saw my friends and family being treated like irrational animals, I might not be surprised to feel the urge to act irrationally.
You’re not even wrong about your statements, but … have some damn empathy.
