Hamas has said it will execute hostages if Israel bombs residential areas with out warning. Now they have issued more demands for their release.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hamas wants US prisoners freed alongside those in Israel as part of a deal the terrorist group could make to release dozens of hostages taken to Gaza.
An exiled Hamas leader in Lebanon, Ali Barakeh, said that the group would aim to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli and American prisons. He has been the group's leader in Lebanon for years and is in charge of coordinating other Palestinian groups there.
Without specifying who, he said: "There are Palestinians held in America. We will ask for their release."
In 2009, a court in Dallas sentenced two founding members of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, once the largest US Muslim charity, to 65 years in prison for funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.
Three other men were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 to 20 years for conspiracy.
Barakeh added: "We have prepared well for this war and to deal with all scenarios, even the scenario of the long war. We will bring life to a stop in the Zionist entity if the aggression does not stop on Gaza."
Barakeh said Hamas has so far employed only a small number of its own forces. He said nearly 2,000 Hamas fighters have taken part in the latest fighting, out of an army of 40,000 in Gaza alone.
Hamas may also be able to count on its allies if it faces a major setback. On Sunday, Hezbollah fired several rockets and shells at three Israeli positions in a disputed area.
On Monday, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group claimed it sent four gunmen across Lebanon’s border into Israel.
The militants said they had wounded seven Israeli soldiers. Israel said its own forces shot and killed several gunmen who crossed into the country from Lebanon. It also shelled southern Lebanon in response.
“I hate that Hamas is still speaking.”
I think this may have been some MAJOR miscalculations by Hamas.
Hamas apparently got its answer from Israel, which was NO DICE (something that I could have told them).
So now they’re going to the Biden’s bunch and want Biden to demand and threaten Israel to stop. A logical second choice and it’s likely that Biden is already demanding and threatening Israel as we type. But given the images of what they did to civilians, and especially babies, and the fact that Biden hates them anyway, Israel is in no mood to listen to Biden and they will do what they think is needed to complete the job (think Putin’s situation in Ukraine...same thing). They’ll then deal with Biden when they’re done. So, NO DICE.
Next stop will be Russia, to get them to threaten us with World War 3 if we don’t stop Israel. They’ll have a discussion with Putin, but no, Putin won’t take the bait, as he knows that the Neocons DESPERATELY want World War 3 (why else start the war in Ukraine?), PLUS he knows that Israel will not listen to him anyway. This is not 1973, so that gambit won’t work - Putin will politely tell them NO DICE.
Hamas will next have to try to bring in other countries (Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Syria). Egypt and Jordan are not interested in having another war against Israel, Syria’s got their own major war to worry about and so adding a front will not help them, and Iran’s distance makes it hard for them to attack without major planning. So, NO DICE here also.
In the end, Hamas made their bed, and will likely have to sleep in it.
Christian Palestinians aren’t behind this.
RATs are very brave when arresting 70 year old grandma protestors. Not so much when it comes to foreign thugs.
How about some B-52s, Scarecrow?
Be like Russia and China. Stay quiet about your plans and just do what you have to do.
As God is my witness I thought muzzies could fly
Nice
But high flying to many in this austere body lol
Give them a threat back…. For every person harmed, we flatten a grid square.
We should introduce them to ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ and a few Spectre Gunships..............
Here is your Hamas employee. Unfortunately he was over the shipping weight limit so his head had to be returned separately.
Deploy thermobaric munitions on all HAMAS concentrations. Including their funeral processions
Totally eradicate ALL HAMAS , and the Palestinians that support them . No quarter
They should take them out to the tarmac with a plane waiting, make them kneel in pig fat and shoot them in the back of the head. Of course cameras rolling.
Maybe we can give them the squad?
Counteroffer: You can have the heads, but not the whole prisoners.
We should release them all. From 20,000 feet.
Where exactly are we supposed to release the Palestinian prisoners? In Gaza? Okay. We’ll do so and then Israel can kill them.
They know damn well that Brandon will do just that. This is all on him, one way and another and another...
Depending on whether Hamas has taken Russian hostages, Putin may send them their No Dice message on the nose of bombs delivered by Bear or Backfire bombers.
Sure Sure!!
Drop them off on the other side in gaza and then destroy it.
