More information on the release of two American hostages from Gaza:
A source with knowledge of the release confirmed to Fox News that the two American hostages, a mother and her daughter, were released “on humanitarian grounds” following Qatari mediation efforts.
Hamas can string this out forever.
The U.S. ALWAYS does this when Israel is involved. Always ties their hands so their enemies can regroup.
Yes, exactly. Israel is going to have to make the tough choice to come down hard on Hamas, even if it means risking the lives of the hostages. Otherwise, the end result will be that more innocent persons die.
it could because Israel may need various munitions for such an “invasion” and the US has told them - we don’t have any!
thus the photo opp parade of leaders - ours UK France etc. like we didn’t figure that out. also Egypt is holding back aid from crossing into Gaza for the same reason. i hope the delay is helpful for Israel in one way or another. there’s no way to know.
Surround Gaza.
Leave one Israeli controlled exit.
Turn off all water, food, power and supplies.
Grab them as they come out and put them on a ship to Iran.
Lots of land in Iran.
Lots of sympathetic Moslems in Iran.
Lots of American Taxpayer dollars in Iran from traitor Democrats.
Negotiating with “terrorists”? When did that become official policy?
Another Iranian hostage crisis of 1979.....
Why listen to Biteme at all? Do what you must to protect your nation. The same way we should not be talking to other countries about what to do with the invasion in our country.
This is starting to remind me of the July Crisis, where Franz Ferdinand was assassinated June 28 (by assassins supported by Serbia).
And Austria dithered for a month and then attacked Serbia on July 28.
I was going to post similar.
Put invasion on hold?
Okay. Only if we cut off all food, water, power and humanitarian aid.
It’s a medieval culture. Put them under a medieval siege.
Hopefully the hostages realize their situation and have made peace with their deity. Even if their captors offer words of encouragement regarding hostage freedom one must keep in mind that the words of mucking fuslims are lies. The cult of islam lies like a WDC politician.
This could easily be the spark to ignite WW3. If Hezbollah joins in it’s on like donkey kong. That’s why many Western countries are trying to discourage Israel from any ground activities in Gaza. If they go in it’s almost certain Hezbollah will react and that could incite Jihad in the neighboring Arab countries which could easily get out of control.
There are elements in Israel that want to attack Lebanon, Syria and even Iran, as well as Gaza. Supposedly the delay is the internal dispute in the Israel War Cabinet over whether they just attack Gaza (Bibi) or attack Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
One of the things about the start of WW1 was that there was a “war party” in every country. It was stronger in Germany, but it was there in all of them.
All they needed was a trigger (in that case Russian mobilization) to give them the internal influence to start the general war.
There are so many ways that any attack now can escalate into a multi front war - maybe it is overdetermined.
“ to free the hostages”
Sure. Always negotiate with terrorists. Proven to be a winning strategy most recently by Biden and Qatar in their $6 billion deal with Iran for 5 Americans,
Don’t forget releasing the terrorists for that traitor Bergdahl.
So that whole, “The United States does not negotiate with terrorists” thing - kinda passe at this point...
