More fuss about nasty words than about nasty actions.

I note that Hamas have rejected the latest ceasefire terms.

Oh well.

 

[Highway Man]

probably because it involved handing back the hostages.

For a 60 day ceasefire Israel demand release of hostages and for Hamas to go into exile. Hamas refuse to surrender power, they are basically demanding that Israel surrender.

What is the point of agreeing a ceasefire. Everyone knows Israel will just break it again. It's all hopeless.

It's a rubbish deal. Israel get their hostages back, then carry on bombing once the 60 days are up.
If I was handing over my only bargaining chip, I'd want a guarantee of no more bombing.

They shouldn’t have hostages to begin with though. These are people not bargaining commodities

There is no guarantee of anything said when bibi and the orange rapist are involved as history shows!

Nor should the thousands of Palestinians languishing in israeli jails often without charge be 'bargaining commodities'/hostages!

Not the same whatsoever. Israel has not used these prisoners who are actually accused of terrorist crimes and are being held in cells with access to solicitors and telephones. They are not being held in tunnels, tortured and raped. Hamas has taken innocent people including children purely to wage psychological warfare against Israel,

Some haven't been charged with anything.

No, not true.

If you believe that it's different you'll believe anything...

Especially the zionist propaganda!

The israelis have been documented doing just what you describe...

As has the IDF using Palestinians as human shields!

I don't think either side is whiter than white, but if you had a choice of being held by either the Israeli's or by hamas, which would you rather take your chances with?

That's exactly what they are, that the whole point.
Nobody gets taken hostage to make up the numbers on a five-a-side football team.

Probably Hamas, the Israeli hostages have got their own side bombing them.
