@EliLake I may be missing your sarcasm, but this took place in PA-controlled Tulkarem. Unfortunately, Hamas is far from the only problem in Palestinian society.
Please watch this and share this. I know Jon Polin. I want you to hear about the bravery of Aner Shapira who managed to dispose of 8 grenades and died holding a grenade he picked up and could be identified by DNA.
I want you to demand that the @RedCross be allowed to see all of the hostages ASAP. And that all hostages be released immediately.
@aviadsanders זה מתכון לפופוליזם ודבקות בעמדות המקוריות (ועדת החוקה, לדוגמא). רק מאחורי הקלעים אנשים מוכנים לוותר על נקודה א' כדי להשיג ויתור מהצד השני על נקודה ב'.
@AriLamm I can’t help but compare it to when a random Israeli citizen was being held in Russia on similar charges and it was a top story in the news here basically the entire time until her release. What does the difference in coverage say about the two societies?
@Yair_Rosenberg It’s not so obvious that Netanyahu doesn’t want Lapid to be PM during the interim period. He’d most likely very happy to have a PM Lapid to run against.
@AriLamm I'd also point out that to the general (secular/traditional) Israeli public, Ishay Ribo largely represents Torah and the strength of Jewish wisdom. I'm not sure how that fits into the analysis though.
