    I doubt Netanyahu will agree. As soon as the war stops, he’ll face corruption charges. On top of that he wants the genocide.

    I don’t see how this is even particularly generous. It’s a 40 day slowdown in genocide and an agreement for Hamas to release prisoners in exchange for Israel temporarily releasing hostages that historically they just re-abduct within days anyways. And then after 40 days it’s full speed ahead of civilian slaughter again, probably with a freshly regrouped and re-armed IOF.

      You’re looking at this wrong – neither Bibi’s government or Hamas care about Palestinian deaths.

      Israel temporarily releasing hostages that historically they just re-abduct within days

      Can you explain this or link something? I know Israel imprisoning Palestinians for years without charges is monstrous but I haven’t heard of them doing this after prisoner exchanges.

        I could have worded it better. I’m not necessarily saying that Israel will re-abduct the exact same Palestinians within a few days, but rather than Israel is constantly taking hostages. Israel could agree to release 100 hostages, but what’s the point when they’ll end up abducting 200 more the following week. It’s why prisoner swaps with Israel heavily favor Israel, they see hostages as a renewable ressource.

          Oh I see. I wonder if they increase arrests after prisoner exchanges, I’ll have to look up the numbers if they’re available. I see your point though Israel is constantly imprisoning more people so the exchanges aren’t exactly equivalent. The difference between hostage and prisoner is complicated though, it’s basically just the accusation of some crime, Hamas doesn’t really claim the people they take have done any specific crime but most of the time Israel doesn’t either because they hold people without charges so it is very similar.

    An article telling us about the extraordinarily generous offer should include what the terms are in a bullet list…

      The idea is to generate anti-Palestinian outrage while hiding details that could allow individuals to understand or make their own considerations.

    A 40 day ceasefire… The original offer was 6 weeks… That’s 42 days…

    There is no point for Hamas to engage with any of these fake ceasefire deals. Either a permanent ceasefire is offered or it’s pointless.

    The Biden Propaganda train is off the charts.

    I don’t fucking know that ‘generous’ is the right word, considering both the terms and the fact that this situation is from Israel pursuing genocide.

    But I also don’t know how much better they can get in their position.

    Gods only know what the strategically wise choice is here.

    If I was in politics or was looking to get into politics in the future, I would be trying to get arrested publicly for this. Look at the people who got arrested during the civil rights movement.

    If I was Hamas I would give Israel the finger and laugh at them. This is not an offer in good faith.

    Biden is worried about the optics of the genocide he is fully supporting, but he isn’t really doing a damn thing to stop it.

    Biden was just barely going to be able to eek out a win under the best of circumstances before this started, now however I don’t think he can win the election, specifically because of his full gung ho support for this genocide.

    And the fact that he is calling the protestors anti semites is completely laughable.

    Biden isn’t going to take any real concrete discernible action to stop a literal genocide and that is going to cost him this election.

    And whoever wins the election is also going to support the genocide. But I guess if Trump wins it will be the biggest genocide, the best genocide. Everyone will be saying it.

    (From Hamas’ point of view the only acceptable compromise is a total end of the hostilities on both sides. Any temporary solution will only allow Israel to continue the genocide after the 40 days)
