POW/MIA all over again. Israel has made this impossible by burying half of these people under a mountain of rubble. This provides convenient justification for continuing the depraved starvation.

Is there even a complete list of hostages anywhere?

"Give up all your leverage and then we can begin negotiations" you'd have to be the dumbest motherfucker on the planet to fall for that

They've been demanding that from Russia for the past year and a half, so I'm not surprised they're doing it here too. It's insane.

Doing starvation as a negotiation tactic

No warcrimes detected though

Also, even if all other hostages of unknown status were alive and well in some secret Hamas base, they’re asking Hamas to get rid of its only bargaining chip in exchange for an unreliable promise to possibly pull the knife out 1 nanometer as the knife of being denied human rights continues to push itself in under its own gravity

> Hamas releases hostages

> It's not all 240 because Israeli bombs killed a lot of them

> Israel demands the rest of the hostages even though Hamas doesn't have any left

> Israel continues bombing Gaza over hostages that Israel already killed in previous bombings

Yep exactly. Or keeps demanding hostages that don’t exist.

It's just like the POW/MIA shit the US pulled to stay in the Vietnam war. Sadly, it works.

Check out all these war crimes

What hostages. Isreal already bombed them all

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago

this is just taking hostages with extra steps

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago

How much aid does the US even give to Gaza anyway. Bonus: what percentage is it compared to Israel?

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

I think they’re just talking about opening the border to allow aid in

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 10 months ago

I thought they just hated Hamas? Why are they refusing to provide aid for the innocent civilians in Gaza? 🤔

Strange how this just. keeps. happening.

"McGurK" is a fake name. Seen it on a cartoon once.
