“A ceasefire is on the table today, for six weeks to be built on into something more enduring if Hamas would simply release women, wounded and elderly,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters
Hamas says it will only accept a deal based on a permanent ceasefire that ends the war and includes an Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza, rather than another temporary truce.
“We’re determined to try to generate a ceasefire where at least six weeks with the hostages coming out and then try to build on that into something more enduring, but I can’t make any predictions about where this will lie,” Sullivan said.
If they’re going to declare arbitrary subsets of the hostages, why stop at female? Why not demand only the short hostages, or only the ones with blue eyes?
I think it’s just the lower likelihood that they will end up as combatants. If you’re in a military conflict you’re generally more likely to hand over hostages that are less likely to come back and fight you
Clearly you missed all the female IDF soldiers thirst-posting on Tik Tok dancing on the rubble of destroyed homes and schools.
No I saw. I’m just under the impression that it’s a lower likelihood that women in the IDF are serving in direct combat roles. I mean maybe they are, maybe all of Hamas’ hostages are highly trained combatants, although I doubt it
…what. IDF soldiers are literally dancing on graves? I mean, I guess I’m not surprised. I’ve seen videos of them gleefully spewing genocidal bile and discussing their genocidal exploits.
There’s one of an IDF soldier proposing to another, with romantic music and fellow soldiers applauding, on top of the rubble of a school they blew up. It’s cartoonishly evil, and it couldn’t be even more cartoonishly evil unless they did something ridiculous like bomb Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, on Christmas day. I mean, that would be insane on so many levels if they did that, right? Yeah well, they did - https://www.livemint.com/news/world/israeli-forces-strike-bethlehem-on-christmas-day-amid-raids-across-occupied-west-bank-11703498336126.html
Israel’s draft is co-ed.
Hamas ALREADY OFFERED EVERY HOSTAGE.
HAMAS ALREADY OFFERED EVERY HOSTAGE AND ISRAEL SAID NO.
Fuck this man, every fucking lie will be twisted to make Hamas look like the bloodthirsty goons while Israel parades its slaughter and destruction and sells the rubble to fascists.
The only fascists in Gaza are Hamas. Israel is a democracy, I’m surprised you didn’t know. It’s kind of a central factor in western policy on this matter.
Genocide apologism detected: opinion discarded.
Go back to reddit if you want to be a smug zionist
Why, you want to be in a bubble of safe feelings? Good luck with that.
I think it’s exactly that attitude that prevents you from seeing what’s right in front of your eyes.
Can’t get over the hump. All you see are the headlines, not the last sentence that says “these reports could not be independently verified.”
This is the peak highlight of your dissonance
Why can’t both Hamas AND Israel be facist? At least be fair in your judgement.
Also again the fact that you have not blocked me yet tells me that you know I’m right. Maybe it’s painful to admit?
Hamas: ‘But who will we rape during the holy month? Also that would mean the Palestinians get fed which we evidently oppose.’
Ding ding.
