Israel having to negotiate for the release of its civilian hostages is among the most absurd and humiliating things I’ve ever seen in my life.

These aren’t POWs being exchanged among warring nations after having been captured in battle. They’re KIDNAPPING VICTIMS, forcibly dragged from their homes at gunpoint and kept in underground rat tunnels for months. Yet Israel has to send delegations to Paris and kindly ask that the governments of Qatar and Egypt—those noted bastions of human rights!—intercede and convince Hamas terrorists to release them, in exchange for Israel releasing violent criminals (with a ratio that will undoubtedly be an order of magnitude greater, of course). As if civilian hostages and Hamas militants are morally fungible.

Maybe I’m just a dumb Marine who doesn’t understand the world of diplomacy, but it feels like nothing less than a ritual in forced humiliation. Having to barter for the safe return of women and children. Rape victims and babies.

It’s repugnant.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame Israel for doing anything its power to secure the safe return of its people. I respect them for seeking resolution using all the means at its disposal. God knows, I’d do nothing less in their situation.

But Israel shouldn’t *have to*. Hamas releasing the civilian hostages it seized on October 7th should be a basic prerequisite for all other points of consideration here. Returning the hostages should *precede* negotiations for a ceasefire, not be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for one.

Then again, what do I know? I’m just a random guy on Twitter who continues to be shocked at the utter moral cowardice evinced by so many public figures, global leaders, and political officials since October 7th. Surely, I’m missing something in my understanding of the situation. After all, there’s significant historical nuance here, and the dynamics are far more complex than terrorists simply having kidnapped, raped, and murdered innocent people.

Right?

Every hostage must be released immediately and unconditionally.

Bring them home now!

בהקשרי השפעה ישראלית בלבד, אני מציעה לכולנו להיות קצת פחות ישראלים ולעשות פחות ניטפיקינג לכל דבר ושוב אתן את הדוגמא של האג:
ישראל יצאה מהאג בשן ועין עם צווי הביניים - קריאה לשחרור החטופים וצווי ביניים להכנסת סיוע הומניטרי.
דרום אפריקה וחמאס לא קיבלו את מה שהם רצו.

כמה מילים על שינוי מחשבתי בהקשרי תודעה והשפעה וכמה פחות כדאי לחשוב בראש של
הסברה.

אנחנו אומרים אמת, אבל צריך לדעת להדהד אותה ולהעצים כל ניצחון קטן,
אחרת נמשיך להפסיד בזירה הזו.
זה דורש שינוי מחשבתי.

That's what the Palestinian leaders mean when they say 'from the river to the sea'.

We won't wait to be slaughtered again.

Rage at Hamas for shooting people who try to get food from the humanitarian aid that was entered into Gaza by Israel.

The Gazans blame Hamas for the war.

What an honest and profound perspective from a Muslim who was exposed to the horrors of Hamas-ISIS through digital platforms, sharing the truth of the October 7th massacre and deeming it ‘indefensible.’

This war is more complex than one might have thought.

Please, read the full article at the link below and share it.

[Israel in UN/Geneva🇮🇱🇺🇳 @IsraelinGeneva]

Israel forcefully rejects the despicable and unfounded claims published today by a group of so-called UN experts, including one who just days ago legitimised the massacre of October 7 in which more than 1,200 people were murdered, executed and raped, and another who publicly doubted the testimonies of Israeli victims of gender-based and sexual violence.

These mandate holders have remained silent on the horrific sexual violence and gender based violence perpetrated by Hamas on and since October 7. It is clear that the co-signatories are motivated not by the truth but by their hatred for Israel and its people.

The State of Israel will continue to abide by its obligations under international law. No complaint has been received by Israeli authorities but Israel remains ready to investigate any concrete claims of misconduct by its security forces when presented with credible allegations and evidence.

Muhammad Smiry is a terrorist, he is part of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He even tweeted saying that he is in 2014. He even mentions the name Shaqaqi, which is the name of one of the co founders of the PIJ. Many other members of the Smiry family are part of the PIJ as well.

חברים וחברות, צריכה את העזרה שלכם.

יש לי סדרה של ציוצים שאספתי מה-7 באוקטובר שמוכיחים שלל שקרים. הכל מצולם ומתועד בצילומי והקלטות מסך.

הפעם - מוחמד סמירי הנודע לשמצה, כותב את הציוץ הזה ב-06:33 ב-7 באוקטובר.
בשעה הזו בדיוק אני כבר הייתי בממ״ד (06:29 התחילה אזעקה), מטח רקטות ופצצות מרגמה כבד מאד נורה לחלקים נרחבים בארץ ובעיקר בעיקר -
חמאס חדרו לתוך ישראל והחלו בדרכם אל יישובי העוטף כדי לבצע טבח, אונס ולחטוף ישראלים.

בינתיים בעזה ב-06:33? לא קרה כלום.

האם מוחמד ידע מראש והתחיל לייצר נרטיב שקרי כאילו ישראל תקפה כבר ב-06:33 כשלצערי ישראל ב-06:33 לא הבינה בכלל מה קורה (קל וחומר שלא תקפה בעזה) ?

שתפו את השרשור. תודה!

Yair Yaakov was announced yesterday as dead.

Yair and was brutally murdered on October 7th by Hamas-ISIS and his body is held in Gaza, while his 2 sons - Yagil (13) and Or (16) were kidnapped into Gaza by this terrorist organization and were freed in a hostages deal in late November.

Yagil, Yair's youngest son, wrote yesterday on Instagram:

"I miss you so much Dad, if I could only replace you, but at least I know you're not suffering anymore... I truly miss you, I love you, you're the best dad, please keep us safe from heaven - you and grandpa."

RIP Yair 💔

"Hamas is not a terrorist group" said Martin Griffiths

I'm glad that @UNReliefChief is at least honest and thinks that raping, slaughtering and kidnapping Jews is ok.

Moreover, he forgets that Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S., European Union, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and more.

Maybe you should take out a statement that will clarify the facts rather than your own admission that you support a terrorist organization.
