Hamas Says It Agrees to Release All Hostages in Gaza

[Toggle Almendro]

apart from this, is all, for example:

There is nothing blind about my statement there either. "Israel keeping the West Bank for themselves" is an appropriate reaction to such an outrageous accusation. It's really quite poetic. Justice can be beautiful sometimes.

 

[Koala]

That's not theft. Israel gets to keep the West Bank for themselves now because of the false accusations that they committed genocide.



Because Israel are fellow good guys and their cause is just.



There is nothing blind about our support. We know that we stand among the righteous.

What the serious???

Stop with the fellow good guy. You re not even really an American, you're an Israeli Zionist Jew, its obvious. No no no, we (real) Americans aint nothhing like you. You might be a dual citizen, but I think its high time to end that whole dual citizenship thing, this Israel episode has shown exactly why -- cant have dual loyalties.

Anyhow WTF???? Who was talking about keeping the West Bank? That WAS NOT part of the deal, and nobody but deranged Israeli Zionists think that the West Bank will be 'kept" by Israel. .

Isreal never stops, there is never a point at which they are satisfied. This wasnt about hostages, this wasnt about security, this was about taking ALL Palestinian land. ANd after that, Syrian, Lebanon, parts of Egypt, even parts of Saudi Arabia.

Dear God, now we can see very clearly, why exactly it is that Israel cannot be allowed to continue to exist. Its a tumor. You cant just leave it alone, even if you want to . Its just one thing to another with these guys, an endless game of wack-a-mole.

Thanks for spilling the beans. I mean I knew already, Im just surprised you guys are already saying the silent part out lloud.

 

[Manc Skipper]

It ends when Arabs, Islamists, and Palestinians accept that Israel will exist.

HAMAS agreed to release all hostages three weeks after Oct 7th but Netanyau chose obliterating Gaza to avoid going to prison..

Don't stop now. You haven't mentioned the Protocols of the Elders of Zion yet. Oh, oh, and and and they kill gentile children to use their blood for matzah.

You Jew haters are so predictable. Oh, and vile. Don't forget vile.

@Koala, I see you stopped trying to debate me about all matters Islamic. If I'm wrong about anything, you should easily be able to vanquish me, but you're a no-show. Why is that? Wouldn't it be great fun for you to prove me wrong - at least once?

Is there no end to the absurd attempts to re-write history, to manufacture fanciful excuses and to pretend that Hamas has no responsibility for ending this war?

 

[Captain Adverse]

I wonder about the “as field conditions for the exchange are met” and “affirms its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through the mediators to discuss these details” parts of that response. Hamas is quick to pretend to agree with whatever is presented to them, but then changes their terms for doing so.

Perhaps, but I think you know Trump isn't going to put up with that, not this time anyway.

I suspect that if HAMAS doesn't abide by the agreement, Trump will take the promised action.

I hope HAMAS actually follows the agreement myself, because option #2 may put American military forces in play.

 

[Aristaeus]

Palestinians continue to lose battles with Israel yet cannot accept that Israel is not going away. Until Palestinians stop supporting terrorism and the goal of eliminating Jews, there will be no peace.

The PA, which controls the West Bank, recognises Israel's right to exist and doesn't attack it, yet Israel continues to steal their land, restrict their access to water, and stand back and watch as settlers attack and kill them.

 

[Decypher]

"taking that as a concession" would be consistent with your other faulty judgments.

You lost the point, get over it. Make better arguments if it bothers you that much.

Gaza had restrictions on arms appropriately as it turns out.

Isreal had the place under siege.

Restrictions on arms is not warfare. Fail again.

They invaded Gaza to wage war on at least 5 occasions between 2008 and 2023. A matter of historical record. Your entitled to your ow
opinions, not to make up you own facts.

The best course for Gaza would be a surrender by Hamas.

Said by the people committed to their obliteration.

The PA pays families of Palestinian terrorists who murder Jews according to how many Jews their family member managed to murder.

Nonsense. There was no point. Just some vague and meaningless references to the West Bank.

Israel gets to keep the West Bank all for themselves now because of the false accusations of genocide.

"President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his threat that "all hell will break out" if Hamas does not agree to release hostages it has held in Gaza by the time he returns to the White House on Jan. 20."

He promised that action back in January so who knows what he will do. With trump it's hard
To distinguish his promises from lies from blather from dementia

Again, you are equating unequal situations. The West Bank is not Gaza. Do you, for example, equate the US policies towards Puerto Rico with the US polices with Cuba?

I think you are confusing ongoing responses to acts of terrorism with wars. How many rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza before Oct 7?

Said by the people committed to their obliteration.

Why does Hamas and the idea of elimination of all Jews and Israel still find traction among Palestinians?
Do you understand that compromise is considered an unacceptable behavior by Islamists?

If you hate rewriting history so much, then stop.

 

[snakestretcher]

You make no distinction between Gaza on October 7, 2023 and Gaza in October 2025.
Apparently you do not follow current events.

WW2 went on for six years. There were no 'current events' then either, merely a continuum, just like the Palestine-Israel conflict, ongoing for over 100 years.

The conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people is one of the longest-running in the world.

Well, see if your country had been under illegal occupation for 70 years, if you were born in and lived in an open air prison all your life, surrounded by 50-foot walls, armed watch towers, had every aspect of your life controlled by a European coloniser, including life's necessities (food, water, power), if you had 700,000 of your people forcibly expelled from their homes and land to make room for the interlopers, had 50 villages torched and now 60,000 of your fellow citizens killed in an ongoing genocide, what would you have done? To add to that there was Zionist terrorism, the bombing of the King David hotel, the Sergeant's Affair, the Sabra and Shatila massacres. You tell me who the terrorists are and who should 'compromise'.
Live a week in a Palestinian's shoes, I imagine your attitude might alter somewhat.

 

[Cope]

As I said, you won’t discuss the West Bank because it destroys your position on Gaza, so I’ll take that as a concession.

Gaza isn’t a state and Isreal did not relinquish control over it as I have demonstrated, contrary to your previous assertion.

So it proves that Isreal continued to wage war in Gaza after the withdrawal.

An oppressed people have few options.

They have the same option they have had for years. Migrate to a country that uses them to fight a proxy war against Israel and viola, no more oppression.
OR, stop fighting a proxy war against Israel.

Granted, there aren't many other options on the table today.

Anyway, this is a poor response from you, that @dcsports thought it was worthy of “liking” shows how the pro-Zionist position has little merit.

Hamas is not a Gazan nationalist group; they are a Palestinian nationalist group. Pretty amazing you can’t comprehend that.

 

[Decypher]

What supports that claim?

My goodness, it’s been explained to you several times now but here you go again:

“The restrictions on movement and goods in Gaza imposed by Israel date to the early 1990s. After Hamas took over in 2007, Israel significantly intensified existing movement restrictions and imposed a complete blockade on the movement of goods and people in and out of the Gaza Strip.”

I think you are confusing ongoing responses to acts of terrorism with wars. How many rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza before Oct 7?

You’re nitpicking. Isreal has continued to wage war or conduct military operations or whatever euphemism you prefer which has included the usual multiple civilian deaths. This occurred many times between 2008 and 2023.

Why does Hamas and the idea of elimination of all Jews and Israel still find traction among Palestinians?
Do you understand that compromise is considered an unacceptable behavior by Islamists?

The Gazans are a desperate, oppressed people. It’s not difficult to understand why they haven’t rejected Hamas.

There is not. The mis/disinformation campaign around this conflict has been the widest reaching most impressive such campaigns that I've ever seen. For the average left- leaning Westerner, it must have been like being an average Russian when the Ukraine war kicked off; all your media feeds were suddenly selling the same dishonest picture of a vicious Other.
