There are still Israeli hostages? I genuinely was not aware of that.
Netanyahu truly doesn’t care about them, which is why he’s refusing deals that return all the hostages in exchange for a few weeks of ceasefire then permission to resume bombing.
Yeah there are 50 something presumed alive.
That many? I really have not kept up with that side of this story. I don’t think it’s all that relevant to the overall picture at this point, which is why, but I still feel silly not even knowing that.
It’s the official reason the US vetoed the UN ceasefire proposal. I say officially because they would do so regardless but still.
Oh absolutely. They would use literally any excuse, including something entirely fabricated if necessary.
Yeah they’re not really pulling their weight though tbh. What good’s a hostage if your opponent doesn’t care about their well-being?
It gets worse:
The IDF is killing mostly Palestinian women and children, about 70% according the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, OHCHR.
Exactly the type of humans you need to rebuild a population.
Hmm, what could the IDF’s objective be…
And also generally not combatants. Or to use the crass parlance “not having military value.”
