I thought the "There never was a Palestine" :smuggo: thing was passe. Why bring it back now?

it's less about the argument and more an attempt to frame the protestors as "oh they don't know what they want" or whatever, like occupy back in the day

Senior Israeli official: Israel has not agreed to end war and withdraw from Strip
After Channel 12 reported that the terms Israel agreed to — and which are being conveyed to Hamas — would include a second stage that would examine an end to the war in exchange for the release of additional hostages beyond the initial 33, a senior Israeli official says that “Israel did not agree to an end of the war, to a withdrawal from the Strip, or other demands that Hamas presented.”

they want Hamas to surrender unconditionally and release hostages so they can stop pretending they care at all and continue their genocide

‎Israeli officials: Israel makes new concessions on exchange deal‎

‎Israeli officials said the new Egyptian proposal includes significant concessions by Israel, including an "implicit willingness" to discuss an end to the war, the full return of displaced people to their homes, and the army's withdrawal from the Netzarim corridor.‎

‎Tel Aviv proposes Hamas release of 33 prisoners in exchange for security prisoners‎

‎Israel's Channel 14 said Tel Aviv had proposed that Hamas release 33 resistance prisoners in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners.‎

‎Smotrich and Ben Gvir threaten to withdraw from the Israeli government‎

‎Israel's Kan TV reported that ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir are threatening to withdraw from the government if Rafah is not invaded.‎

quote:

We left the meeting very disappointed because Netanyahu talked about dismantling Hamas as the goal of the war. He didn’t promise anything regarding the demand to return the hostages. He merely said a military operation in Gaza was needed to serve as leverage for the hostages’ release.

“We later found out that Hamas had offered on October 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the government rejected the offer.

Netyanahu could have had all the hostages back on day 1 but was more interested in genocide than getting them back. Times Of Israel article puts him in a terrible light. As a man more interested in his own political survival than recovering the hostages or ending bloodshed. Palestinian civilians and the Israeli hostages are blood sacrifices he offers up to keep his coalition together.

Senior Hamas official says low chance latest Israeli truce proposal will be accepted

A senior Hamas official tells the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese al-Mayadeen news station that the terror group sees a low chance of accepting a recent Israeli offer for a hostage release deal without “fundamental amendments.”

“The Israeli proposal that was presented does not reflect a fundamental change in the Israeli position. It does not give clear answers to the issue of the withdrawal [from Gaza] and a full ceasefire,” the official says, without providing details on the proposa

hmmm makes sense, seems like as usual israel was talking out of their rear end.

however, the key take away seems like it's Hamas who seems to be in the much stronger position in the negotiations.

Israel has never made a case for why they should be trusted or how they’d act differently if they get what they want.

It does no good for there to be a prisoner swap if Israel returns to behind the walls around Gaza and periodically arrests people in barbaric dragnets.

I’m thinking maybe mechanics from Crusader Kings where Jihad and Crusade are the same thing and the title depends on your leader’s religion?

Long live the martyrs (by definition: dead) requires too much engagement with metaphysics for contemporary American audiences imo

I wouldn't even trust them to return to the Oct 7 status quo at this point. They just want the hostages off the board so they can go full tilt into the genocide without having to risk taking heat from the Israeli public for killing even more hostages in their indiscriminate bloodlust.
