Hamas Decides to Bet That Trump Is Bluffing

The Iranian-backed terror group Hamas has decided to call President-elect Donald Trump’s bluff and abandon negotiations toward a hostage deal, waiting instead to see if it can get a better deal when he takes office January 20.

Trump said at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve, “They better let the hostages come back soon,” reiterating a threat that there would be “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas did not free its remaining 100 Israeli hostages by his Inauguration.

According to the Quran, Muslims are forbidden to gamble. However, there are casinos in countries where Islam is the predominant religion, and there are numerous other countries throughout the world with casinos that focus their marketing strategies on attracting gamers from Muslim-majority countries.

I wonder if they think Netanyahu is bluffing, because all Trump has to do is put his support behind Bibi.

And he has always supported Bibi.

I’m pretty sure Muslim countries have bars (Abu Dhabi).

My take is there are no living hostages.

Can’t help stupid. There will be nothing left of Hamas and those who sponsored them, no matter where they reside.

“According to the Quran, Muslims are forbidden to gamble.”

In the US it is forbidden to openly run a group that it’s major function is to accomplish or assist dangerous groups that create harm to the citizenry. 18 U.S.C. § 2339B And the government, at federal and local level, is guilty of this.

So we’re both wrong.

It won’t be a Reagan moment then

Thanks for the thread! After Dolly’s comment on the train last night, I’m looking at who is doing all the work here :)

I have hoped from the start that any and all Hamas folks would be terminated and all Hamas territory would be absorbed into Israel. The buildings would be razed to the ground and turned into beach front vacation spots.
