I swear to God the people talking about the hostages are the hostages are the worst people
I swear to God the people talking about the hostages are the hostages are the worst people
It's like a hundred people, Israel killed a big chunk of them and a few Israel hostages is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians killed or sent to rot in an Israeli prison.
the unspoken part is
Every time I tell them "yes great that's why we need an all-for-all hostage exchange" and then they proceed to explain why the 12-year-old Palestinians who haven't been charged with a crime are hardened terrorists and should probably just be executed
Not to mention hundreds of Palestinians captured to be imprisoned in the Israeli blacksites which includes a lot of children. Also settlers aided by iof keep doing more and more pogroms. But nah these hasbara warriors have to harp about hamas or hostages.
I’ve seen more videos of released Israeli hostages saying they were treated well or they were more scared of the IDF killing them than I’ve seen a single Palestinian hostage crack a smile upon release.
They’ve been using the same arguments since last year to justify the genocide. Except anyone who’s not a psychopath isn’t buying that bullshit anymore.
What else can you do but laugh at the people who give more of a shit about these hostages than their own nation does? Like Israel bombs them and doesn’t even care. They don’t even say anything about it from what I can see. The hostages are a complete non issue because the only way to save them is to stop bombing Gaza.
I do a weekly torture session on myself by listening to NPR on the radio on the way to work. They have been a bit more wishy washy on murdering every existing Palestinian lately, but they make sure to bring up the hostages almost every time.
That the IDF technique of Dresdening every city in Palestine may not be great for recovering living people seems to get glossed over a lot.
I keep going over that in my head. How much I want to scream at people on the racial exchange rate they're working with. Or flash images of dead and maimed kids in front of them, asking for each one if this is returning the hostages.
Also please don't ask why Israel has Palestinian hostages for some reason. Funniest shit to ask about!
But now really, if possible let us just try to save as many civilians as possible. Throw to the lions whatever leaders did wrong, but be certain that there's people who couldn't give a flying fuck about the politics of the conflict they're involved in even if they tried. I think it's a legitimate stance, I wouldn't want to die for my country either.
