I don’t see how this is even particularly generous. It’s a 40 day slowdown in genocide and an agreement for Hamas to release prisoners in exchange for Israel temporarily releasing hostages that historically they just re-abduct within days anyways. And then after 40 days it’s full speed ahead of civilian slaughter again, probably with a freshly regrouped and re-armed IOF.
You’re looking at this wrong – neither Bibi’s government or Hamas care about Palestinian deaths.
Hamas very much cares about Palestinian deaths. Which is why a 40 day ceasefire and then more Genocide is pointless.
Most unhinged comment
Confirmed by the use of human shields?
Your source starts with Israel says and you’re calling others spreading propaganda???
Not only that, if they actually read the article, it’s just vague accusations from Israel and NATO, absolutely nothing specific, followed by a bunch of analysis that shows the claims are inaccurate and intentionally misleading.
Would you prefer NATO?

Much better than Israel says, but still showing neither care about civilians.
Still doesn’t give them the right to kill civilians

I’m not defending Israel, or criticizing Palestinians. I’m criticizing the comment that Hamas cares about Palestinian lives while there’s documentation of them putting them directly in harms way according to the Geneva Convention.
Israel temporarily releasing hostages that historically they just re-abduct within days
Can you explain this or link something? I know Israel imprisoning Palestinians for years without charges is monstrous but I haven’t heard of them doing this after prisoner exchanges.
I could have worded it better. I’m not necessarily saying that Israel will re-abduct the exact same Palestinians within a few days, but rather than Israel is constantly taking hostages. Israel could agree to release 100 hostages, but what’s the point when they’ll end up abducting 200 more the following week. It’s why prisoner swaps with Israel heavily favor Israel, they see hostages as a renewable ressource.
Oh I see. I wonder if they increase arrests after prisoner exchanges, I’ll have to look up the numbers if they’re available. I see your point though Israel is constantly imprisoning more people so the exchanges aren’t exactly equivalent. The difference between hostage and prisoner is complicated though, it’s basically just the accusation of some crime, Hamas doesn’t really claim the people they take have done any specific crime but most of the time Israel doesn’t either because they hold people without charges so it is very similar.
I doubt Netanyahu will agree. As soon as the war stops, he’ll face corruption charges. On top of that he wants the genocide.
Apart from anything else, you know this is a bad deal because David Cameron likes it.
I don’t fucking know that ‘generous’ is the right word, considering both the terms and the fact that this situation is from Israel pursuing genocide.
But I also don’t know how much better they can get in their position.
Gods only know what the strategically wise choice is here.
A 40 day ceasefire… The original offer was 6 weeks… That’s 42 days…
There is no point for Hamas to engage with any of these fake ceasefire deals. Either a permanent ceasefire is offered or it’s pointless.
The Biden Propaganda train is off the charts.
Biden doesn’t know his arse from his elbow, he just says what the Neocons in the CIA tell him to
The depressing alliteration of the day: generous genocide
surely leaflets will be dropped of incoming artillery fire and distribution of aid to civilians and helping the ones injured , in a genocide

They’d have to be stupid to take this deal lol
If I was in politics or was looking to get into politics in the future, I would be trying to get arrested publicly for this. Look at the people who got arrested during the civil rights movement.
