Calling Palestinian civilians animals and refusing to allow them food and medical supplies isn't going to improve the situation. What do you think is going to happen? Is Hamas going to say "oh guys, I think we made them mad this time. Better release the hostages so they don't do anything violent!"?
“Calling Palestinian civilians animals” so basically you are just inventing stuff I never said.
I was referencing Israel's official comment on the matter from the article. This is what you're defending by supporting Israel in this situation:
With 25,000+ lives taken by Israel, many of them women and children civilians, you can't make the argument he's not talking about treating civilians like animals.
He was talking about the ones that committed the oct 7 massacre . Not Palestinians in general. I dont know how else to call people who killed women whilst raping them. Subhuman? Animals is too good for them. Again not all Palestinians.
There you go. Dehumanizing Palestinian people. Claiming you don't mean all of them doesn't make a bit of difference. There are lots of really horrific people, but they're still human beings and we must not forget that. Using your language to claim otherwise is how this genocide is being allowed to happen. You're literally using Nazi language. You're disgusting.
The thought process is that hammas is the governing body of Gaza and is responsible for its civilians. It would be in his best interest and its civilians to just return the hostages. Otherwise how would you put pressure on hammas to give back the hostages?
What should be done in your opinion for hammas to return the hostages safely and alive?
Hamas offered the release of the prisoners in exchange for permanent ceasefire ages ago. Israel refused because it would rather genocide Palestinians than get its prisoners back.
This is not to mention that what you are describing is a crime against humanity and an act of genocide.
Hammas also said theyll do oct 7 all over again the moment they get the chance. How about give hostages first…
Let me remind you that oct 7 was literally a genocide and literally crime against humanity.
You know that collective punishment is a war crime, right?
It's actually the occupying force that is responsible for the wellbeing of those it colonized.
