Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent
geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoSince Israel and the collective Western civilization do not appear to posses any morality, those prisoners are the only leverage Hamas has. They would be crazy to give it up for free.
Israelis are protesting to get their prisoners back, not because they want to end the genocide and care about Palestinians. Plenty if polls have proven this.

They already released 33 of them, and had about 2000 prisoners released by Israel. Are you going to say “we need to still keep the remaining ones to make Israel release 2000 more” or are you going to say “the bombing casualties are big but they are less than 2000 so let’s still keep the hostages”, or I dunno, maybe “those prisoners are more valuable than hostages and any possible casualties”?
Are prisoners supposed to fix that or what? What about the rest of the protesters around the world? Do you not consider the possibility of those protesters to increase in numbers if there would be no hostages?
As much as I want to understand the point, I don’t see how the remaining hostages are going to benefit Gaza. There are not enough of them. They are not worth it.
The OP image should have also highlighted the second paragraph.

What have protests achieved? People voted for Harris and Trump in droves.
The West does not care. There is no reason for Palestine to appeal to their Nazi oppressors.
Israel took many released hostages back to the torture camp. Israel is the least trustworthy opponent of all time. There is no good faith with them.
Israel already said they would continue the genocide even if Hamas released their captives.

Those Nazi oppressors released 2000 people for just 33 hostages.
Oh really? Fine then. Let’s say Israel will be doing it to 100% of people they release. Then what else could Hamas possibly achieve by still keeping the hostages?
I could say the same about Hamas.
All the more reason to stop wasting resources on hostages.
Are those hostages made from gold or something? Why people seem to protect them from possible release? If it’s so difficult to just release them - ask Hamas to kill them all. We know it won’t change anything, right? But then they could concentrate on other things that are possibly more meaningful for their own survival.

Damn why does Israel have 2000 hostages? Actually scratch that make it 9000.
No you cannot because Hamas keeps its promises. Hamas kept their end of the ceasefire deal. Israel violated it more than 900 times.
You are projecting the evils of the Nazis onto the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. The double standards you apply to the resistance are completely ridiculous.
