I’m not sure if Hamas has noticed but they’re not exactly winning this war.

At this point they’re obviously just trying to get as many Palestinians killed as possible for propaganda.

The poor Palestinians have a government that’s actively trying to get them killed.

If Hamas cared even an iota for their people they’d surrender and end the war.

Have you seen what happened to parts of Gaza occupied by the IDF?

This community has a large pro-hamas faction. Youve just pissed them off.

I don’t really understand their position. Surely the option that leads to least Palestinian deaths would be something they want? It’s honestly just weird.

Some of you Palestinians may die, but it’s a sacrifice Hamas is willing to make

😞

Dumb plan, Hamas. Israel will just bomb you to shits in record time…

Edit: y’all don’t get it. This gives Israel an excuse for total war. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

That’s what Israel is doing, has been doing, and would continue to do whether the hostages are returned or not.

If it makes no difference either way then they should free the hostages simply because it’s the right thing to do…

It really shouldn’t be hard or controversial to support the innocent people on both sides of this horrible war. Free the damn hostages and stop the bombings.

The hostages are there for a reason, and that’s to give Hamas more leverage during the eventual ceasefire negotiations. There are Palestinian prisoners they need to release and goods they need to get through the blockade, among other things.

Israel has said it’d end the war if Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages.

Seems like the only way to prevent Palestinian deaths at this point

Is it?

Because Israel was killing them before Hamas ever existed, and they won’t suddenly stop after.

Israel is Nazi Germany, they won’t stop anything until they’re forced to.

I mean, its not like they weren’t bombing the shit out of gaza in the first place, killing hundreds every day. I’d be surprised if Israel could bomb gaza any harder than they already are.

“Israel” is committed to destroying Gaza and getting revenge by killing as many people as possible. Hamas doesn’t want that, and Hamas has the hostages. So simply: want to destroy Gaza? Your hostages will go down with it.

Israel is committed to destroying the army of Hamas, and to prevent it from ruling Gaza. It is not committed to destroying Gaza.

Hamas could end the war any minute. Pressuring Israel to let Hamas survive instead of pressuring Hamas to surrender and return the hostages is being pro-Hamas, not pro Palestinian.

Then why did they destroy Gaza worse than the allies destroyed WWII Germany?

“Not wanting the murderous government that is actively finding ways to kill and displace Palestinians in places that it controls to take control of Gaza is being pro-Hamas”

Hamas are the extremists of the Palestinians, the IDF and “Israeli” government are the extremists of the “Israeli” people. Why would I want the IDF to take control of Gaza?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Hamas, the group which controls the Gaza Strip, has ruled out any more hostage releases until Israel agrees to a “full cessation of aggression”.

Fighting continues in Gaza, with Israel bombarding the north and south of the territory and Hamas firing rockets at Tel Aviv.

Among the Palestinians reported killed were the director of the police station in the southern city of Khan Younis and a daughter of the head of the Gaza health ministry.

The week-long truce this month brought an increased flow of aid into Gaza, where the UN has warned that the population is at risk of famine if the war between Israel and Hamas continues.

In a statement, Hamas said: “There is a Palestinian national decision that there should be no talk about prisoners or exchange deals except after a full cessation of aggression.”

Early on Friday, the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry put the overall death toll there since 7 October at 20,057, including at least 8,000 children and 6,200 women.


The original article contains 467 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 65%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Israel can’t defeat Hamas without catching them in a lethal, collaterally damaging strike on Qatar. The Holocaust of Gaza will continue until morale improves.
