They should compromise on exchanging the hostages for Biden, Blinken, and Netanyahu.

Point out to libs that “give me everything I want and then we’ll negotiate” is not actually negotiating

No fucking way should that happen. Both Hamas and the other Palestinians know that lack of any collateral completely removes literally any tiny amount of leverage they have. They already tried working with the US and Israel in the “correct” ways, and just always get fucked without any real ability to push back. They would be better off just constantly uploading or streaming videos of them taking care of the folks in all possible ways. Allow families to see that (aside from lacking resources) their loved ones are fine.

Also would allow a constant look at the blanket bombings from Israel are the only things placing them in any physical harm or mental distress (aside from the obvious stress that anyone being held hostage would feel). Would be maybe useful for upping pressure on Israel to stop turning off the power and water, and for allowing aid supplies in. It won’t stop Israel but would help in getting more people and nations to stop voicing/giving support to them and the US. Because the US and Israeli govs and media will still act like it is Hamas and Palestinians as a whole are the “unreasonable” ones.

Oh you mean like all the decades of broken promises? The UN’s decision ignored? The continued invasion of settlers? The US sitting idly by, in fact not idly, criminalizing support for Palestine with the threat of losing government jobs? That process that was working so well? That process that the Palestinian people have gone back to time and again and by which now anyone with a brain must realize is just a ruse to calm them down while the slow genocide proceeds?

They should tell him they were already released and he just forgot.
