Hamas rejected a hostage deal drafted in Paris over the weekend because it did not include a permanent ceasefire.

    The people on here pretending that continuing the war in any way helps the situation are sickening.

    No they’re saying that giving up your only leverage is a stupid idea. This is about the politics of war and negotiation. The only thing keep Palestinian and Hamas from being paved over into a parking lot are the hostages. But it’s not like the IDF gives a fuck about the hostages anyway

    Hamas started this war for propaganda. They’ll never let those poor female hostages tell of their horrors - that will look bad.

    Everyone knows Hamas is bad. How many ppl do you see saying, “I stand with hamas”. The ongoing opinion is there is no good guy in this. Only civilian (mostly Palestinian civilians) victims

      Leverage? Hostages are getting raped and Palestinians are dying enmass and starving.

      Perhaps you live in a universe where all this leverage hamas has in the hostages has in any way limited the IDF actions?

      Leverage over lives…it sickens me.

          Hamas is never letting those women go. You’re deluding yourself if you think otherwise. In effect all you’re doing is arguing in favour of a terrorist organisation raping hostages. Mull on that sometime.

          In the meantime the Palestinians will start eating all that leverage hamas has secured no doubt.
