“If Israel agrees to Hamas demands, which include the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza and increasing humanitarian aid, that would pave the way for a (truce) agreement within the next 24 to 48 hours,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue, as negotiations were set to resume in Cairo.

    Dude, who do you think their hostages are, IDF?

    They absolutely went after civilians. That doesn’t absolve Israeli forces from ALSO firing on the crowds, but the incident was caused by Hamas intentionally targeting the civilian population.

      Many of the hostages are Israeli soldiers lol. Taking settlers prisoner is utterly completely justified and correct. They were not harmed. They were well fed and treated. They received medical care. This is from their own testimonies. Israel could have gotten them back right after 7/10 by agreeing not to genocide Palestinians, but it decided it would rather murder both with airstrikes. The resistance took prisoners as a bargaining chip in order to protect Palestinian civilians. Israel revealed that it did not value the prisoners at all and proceeded with the genocide killing their own in the process. This is righteous anti colonial resistance. And this is reactionary colonial genocide. If you oppose this you support colonialism and violent subjugation.

        Dude, they butchered and kidnapped the attendees of a music festival. That’s not righteous resistance. Are you insane?
