Hamas wanted Gaza destroyed, and Palestinians killed, cos they knew that's what would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, that's an unreasonable demand, framed as a reasonable one. The reason hostage exchange is usually done simultaneously is because there's no trust for the other side to follow-up. Israel are doing this to attempt to make it look like they're being reasonable, while in fact just manufacturing an excuse to carry on with genocide. Similarly, Hamas can point to this as unreasonable escalation and threats, instead of a direct hostage exchange, and go "look at them commiting war crimes, see how we're fighting for you against this oppressor!" and keep on with their own terrorism.

I think some sort of financial pressure needs to be put on Israel though, sanctions or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
