Imagine having to make a deal with some of the worst people on the planet, knowing whatever decision you make the outcome is futile.

If Hamas agrees to release the remaining Israeli hostages, then they have no leverage against Israel, not that Netanyahu cared about the captives in the first place, but at least it was a small way to stop him from completely razing Gaza to the ground – killing everyone as well as the hostages.

All Netanyahu has to do is lie, one of his favourite pastimes, and accuse Hamas of breaking the agreement, and the genocide will resume and accelerate. What good is a free Palestine/Gaza without its civilians?

Thank you, Aaron. Your posts are highly valued.

As awful as the last two years have been, the one coming up will be just as bad for the Palestinians. There are about 1.5 million still alive in Gaza and nowhere for them to go. My bet is both Trump and Netanyahu thought they could force surrounding countries to take them as refugees and now they have a huge problem and the world is watching.

After the theft of their land, after the Nakba, after all the broken promises, all the death and destruction, after residing in Israel's concentration camp, followed by a genocide Trump simply could have ended it with, "I have a bridge in Brooklyn, I can sell you."

Garbage, All you Jew haters as usual flocking to Aaron’s claptrap. You probably want Ukraine to surrender in a war you blame THEM for, and Hamas to get a nuke and teach those hook-nosed SOB’s a lesson. How DARE they want to live in peace in their homeland??!!?? Oh right, the pretend national identity the Arab states marooned and used as straw men for 80 years are just reasonable people. A billion relatives with 10% of the world’s land mass can’t find a place for them except that microdot where the Jews live. The Jews are supposed to just shut up lie back and take it. You all are literally te old joke: Hitler meets Stalin in Hell. Hitler says to Stalin “What did you do to get here?” Stalin answers “Oh, among other things I starved 10 milion of my own people to death including the farmers, which made another 10 million people starve to death.” “Not bad” says Hitler. “What did YOU do?” Stalin asks. “Well among other things, I invaded Poland, killed 6 million Jews, and murdered a clown.” Answers Hitler. “A clown? Why did you murder a clown???” “You szeeee??? Hitler says. “I TOLD YOU NO ONE GIVES A FU**K ABOUT ZE JEWS!!!”
