When will biographies be posted of the children being murdered in the west bank or Gaza?
Do their lifes somehow matter less?
I was wondering too.
Oh, these killed by the Israeli air strikes? Along tens of thousands of Palestinians?
No, the hostages were murdered by Hamas. They were not killed by Israeli air strikes.
Hamas blames Israeli airstrikes for death of six hostages in Gaza
“The ones who kill our people daily are the Israeli colonizers with American weapons. The hostages found in Gaza were not killed by us but by the relentless Zionist bombardment,” Rishq said in a statement.
He further criticized the U.S., saying, “If President [Joe] Biden truly cares about the lives of Israeli hostages, he should cease his support for this enemy with money and weapons and pressure Israel to end its aggression immediately.”
Rishq emphasized that Hamas had been more concerned about the lives of the hostages than Biden himself, citing Hamas’ agreement to a cease-fire proposal and the UN Security Council’s resolution, both of which were rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Are you really taking the word of Hamas, who kidnapped the people to begin with? The air raids killed the hostages in an underground tunnel? Yeah, okay.
If Hamas was concerned about the lives of the hostages they could have released them. Propaganda at best.
Propaganda is you believing that Israel wouldn't start an extermination campaign the very day after Hamas agreed to any internationally-agreed peace deal that didn't explicitly demand the IOF pulling out of Gaza.
Israel could've had these people back alive if they agreed to the July 2nd peace plan as the US and Hamas had supported, yet Netanyahu wants indefinite control of the Gaza strip and total extermination of the Palestinian people; The hostages are just a good excuse to keep useful idiots like you in line.
Are you really taking the word of a convicted apartheid state that runs a minimum of one torture camp that intentionally bombs civilians?
I’m having a difficult time believing that Israel jets killed hostages located in an underground tunnel.
Then you're as much an idiot as the rest of the morons who take Netanyahu's word. You can tell me what you think a 2000Lbs bomb would do to a hand-dug tunnel a few meters below the surface.
Especially one reliant on manual ventilation since there's little to no electrical power (hmm who did that I wonder?).
Even if Hamas killed them in cold blood, which is a stupid negotiating tactic by the way, they have infinitely more reasons for doing so considering the reality of most of the prison guards having their entire family lines wiped out by targeted attacks on civilians over 10 months.
Why?
You don't believe all the released hostages who said the thing that scared them most was the Israeli bombing?
Not interested in this framing when 53 Gazans were killed the same day, and liberals are only interested in the ones Israeli ones.
