Best wishes to the hostages, prisoners and otherwise from all sides released today.

Some excuse of a ceasefire!!

The Israelis still hold more than 10,000 Palestinian "hostages".
360 of them children.

No-one is free until everyone is free

Fannie Lou Hamer famously said, “Nobody is free, until everybody's free.” She committed her life to calling out injustice, bringing light to the racism, misogyny, economic inequality, and ableism faced by Black people in America.

Maya Angelou:
"The poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou used the phrase, "The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free"

Martin Luther King Jr.:
"The idea is similar to his famous quote, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality," and the sentiment is often connected to his legacy"

"We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”​

Nelson Mandela.

I think we should send knave of tarts there. He could get a conversation going I am sure.

I prefer a discussion to grabbing people by the throat.
But Knave of tarts isn't available. I hear he's busy in the trial of Knave of Hearts, Myway Hen

Yes, percentages. That’s how you’ll get a true idea of how well they were looked after. So, 75 died out of thousands held by the Israelis compared to 83 out of a few hundred by the Palestinians. Doesn’t seem too bad to me - I know who I’d prefer to be held prisoner by if I had the choice.

Totally false argument.

You are trying to claim that Israel were better by taking thousands more hostage.

 

[Notch7]

At least they are alive to tell the tale.

Unlike the 65,000 dead Palestinians killed by the evil Netanyahu regime

Twisted logic if ever I've seen it in action

Talking of percentages.............

Yes, they are better off than the 65000 casualties of war. They were arrested and looked after.

 

[Vinty]

Israel have killed 65,000+ Palestinians

how many hostages dead...yeah not so many huh

Could be that a fair number of Hostages have died due to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

Very few areas that haven't been flattened, 1000's of other bodies under the rubble.

Trump said he wants a peace settlement in Gaza.

A piece for him for his new Casino and hotels , a piece for Netanyahu, and a piece for all these 'settlers' from New York and the rest of the world.

Lots of unexplored ordnance as well. Trump towers will need good foundations

Hamas will be building stronger tunnels now. Much deeper too.

Not what it says in the 20 point plan.

Yes, they are better off than the 65000 casualties of war. They were arrested and looked after.

Never charged with any crime, never allowed legal representation, never entered any courtroom, constantly tortured, abused and starved.
Some died in horrific circumstances.

Mottie thinks that's being well looked after.
