Morning Joe: There's Skepticism Hostage Deal Will Hold -- Because Bibi!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/17/2025 2:29:18 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On today's Morning Joe, Jonathan Lemire said there's skepticism the hostage deal will hold because Netanyahu -- not Hamas! -- might "submarine" it.

Yes, you can always trust the sterling citizens of Hamas to be good to their word. But Bibi? Not so much--you know those tricky Israelis!

Lemire also got in an unintentional laugh line, saying:

'"Biden privately blames Netanyahu for prolonging the war, which he believes hurt his re-election chances." As I posted at X: "Yes, if only Bibi had been more malleable, Biden wouldn't have said 'we finally beat Medicare' during the debate."

Morning Joe has more faith in Hamas than in Bibi to uphold the hostage deal.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

The deal will hold because Trump made it clear the terrorists options only get worse starting afternoon 1-20-25

Moron Joe continues to prove he’s a MORON.

I believe so.

When they spring them they will likely start disappearing.

Then the Israelis won’t have to worry about them anymore.

NO!

Because terrorists lie.

Deal?

How would you like to sell this island for $24 dollars’ worth of beads?

You get: 33 hostages, 10 or more of which are dead

We get: about 2,000 terrorists released to hurt & kill again

The Gazans rob aid convoys all the time.

Interfering with relief aid is a war crime.

Israel can film the war crimes and arrest the culprits.

Within days it will have hundreds of Gazan war criminals in custody. Many have connections to HAMAS.

Eventually the Gazans will wise up and stop robbing aid convoys, but Israel will then have better bargaining chips in hostage negotiations.

The Gazans went periodically for operational training. They went so often that Israelis assumed October 7th was just another training day.

On October 7th, it was the real thing.

Israel probably can figure out who went to operational training time after time. Unless individual Gazan suspects have evidence to the contrary, the Israelis should assume the training was put to use.

Israel can round up the trained people without electronic alibis.

I assume young Gazans are like the young people I saw in Spain, ~50% of which were glued to cell phones.
