Nice, they called Netanyahu's bluff. Now watch him torpedo his own peace proposal.

This is his play for his vaunted Nobel Peace Prize. I don't think Bibi is gonna help him.
Prisoners*
Hamas has prisoners, it's the propaganda that calls them hostages. If you want to call them hostages, you should call the prisoners that Israel has hostages as well.
Hamas has prisoners, it’s the propaganda that calls them hostages. If you want to call them hostages, you should call the prisoners that Israel has hostages as well.
Actually, propaganda is what you are doing.
A hostage is someone :
1. That isn't sentenced for anything.
2. That can not be precisely located anywhere.
3. That doesn't know if he will be released or killed by his captors.
For instance, Nelson Mandela wasn't a hostage. He was a political prisoner.
(A political prisoner is still a prisoner)
Semantic lawyer arguments over dictionary definitions are a waste of time. Reality shapes language, not the other way round.
“Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that.
Meaning that as soon as the hostages are out the bombing can continue?
What Trump doesn’t understand because he’s an ignorant idiot is that Netanyahu needs this war to keep power and it has nothing to do with hostages or anything but that for him anymore. And his far right crony government wants more land for their murderous expansionism. I will be shocked if this changes anything.
I swear to god if Trump figures out a way to actually get Israel to stop this shit I am gonna be so fucking confused I won’t know whether to shit or wind my watch. I’d probably just have to shit on my watch.
Not that the Cheeto Bandito is likely to but still…
If he doesn't go too hard with the fascist stuff he could be beneficial in the long run. Like Winston Churchill, bit of a bastard at the time but was necessary for a few years.
Trump... ordered Netanyahu to cease fire? What are the chances Israel agrees to the deal? I'm seeing a lot of conditional statements.
Don't get me wrong, peace would be great. Exchanging hostages would be great, too. If Trump can pull that off, I'll give him his flowers for that. But I have many doubts that the sides will actually reach an agreement if only because Trump said they will.
