POW/MIA all over again. Israel has made this impossible by burying half of these people under a mountain of rubble. This provides convenient justification for continuing the depraved starvation.

Is there even a complete list of hostages anywhere?

    "Give up all your leverage and then we can begin negotiations" you'd have to be the dumbest motherfucker on the planet to fall for that

      They've been demanding that from Russia for the past year and a half, so I'm not surprised they're doing it here too. It's insane.

    Also, even if all other hostages of unknown status were alive and well in some secret Hamas base, they’re asking Hamas to get rid of its only bargaining chip in exchange for an unreliable promise to possibly pull the knife out 1 nanometer as the knife of being denied human rights continues to push itself in under its own gravity

    > Hamas releases hostages

    > It's not all 240 because Israeli bombs killed a lot of them

    > Israel demands the rest of the hostages even though Hamas doesn't have any left

    > Israel continues bombing Gaza over hostages that Israel already killed in previous bombings

    I thought they just hated Hamas? Why are they refusing to provide aid for the innocent civilians in Gaza? 🤔

    Strange how this just. keeps. happening.
