Hamas totally out-negotiated Trump

While the bigotry is true, it's pretty common to demean the enemy since it makes it easier to kill them. Most Westerners are raised to believe killing people is wrong. Solution? Don't think of them as people. Think of them as a degenerate, subhuman race. It makes shooting them in the head a lot easier. :)

Isn't that what the Palestinians think about Jews?

20 college students for two thousand Palestinian prisoners is a deal Hamas would take any day of the week, and twice on Ramadan.

Hamas hasn't agreed to disarm or cede authority to Trump's proposed international commission. So the odds are better than even that Trump boot-lickers are prematurely spiking footballs and popping champagne corks.

Have you forgotten how many times Trump has prematurely bragged about the great deals he is supposedly making?

:cheer: "200 deals in 100 days!" :cheer:​

Those college students were the only things keeping Hamas alive you idiot. Trump convinced Hamas to release their only leverage to prevent the IDF from annihilating Hamas. If there were no hostages Israeli could flood the tunnels and flush the vermin out.

So? That is obvious, did any of the arrested Palestinians have a part in that?

Rights probe alleges sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli forces used as ‘method of war’

Senior human rights investigators reporting to the UN Human Rights Council alleged on Thursday that sexual and gender-based violence by Israeli security forces against Palestinians – including children - have been increasingly used “as a method of war” following the 7 October 2023 attacks that...

Israeli soldiers have been sexually assaulting Palestinian women for decades. Now they're speaking out

Researchers documenting violence against Palestinian women say so many have been attacked by Israeli soldiers since 7 October, the silence that once accompanied assaults has been shattered

They are all linked through terrorism.

The fact remains the killing won't stop until one side is wiped out.

IMO, it's the Palestinians who are pissing up a rope. They should make peace and start policing themselves by getting rid of terrorists.

So this wasn't Trump's peace plan?

This was a ruse, a trick, before Isreal's final offensive of utter annihilation?

Then why did you MAGA morons spend the last 72 hours shouting from the rooftops that peace had broken out, and chanting for Trump to get the Nobel Peace prize?

Well, everyone -- including NBC Nightly News -- is calling it "Trump's peace plan." I agree that he had little to do with the negotiations but by Krom he's gonna take all the credit.

I probably shouldn’t admit I haven’t followed this very closely. I know there’s the broader U.S. and Trump negotiated peace plan, and then there’s the Israeli government negotiated hostage release. This thread feels like it’s mostly trolling about the hostage deal.

I get what you’re saying about how it’s being framed, but I don’t watch the nightly news so I can’t speak to that part.

Hamas is surrounded.

They have no say in anything.

They can lay down their weapons or die.

Why don’t you go over and help them?

Do you think they care about that? Do you think they're afraid to die?

These are people who pray to Allah for the privilege of dying for their cause.

Anyone who thinks the likelihood of death is a deterrent, grossly misunderstands and underestimates their enemy.

The next suicide bomber who kills dozens of Israelis in a crowded marketplace will be one of the aforementioned people.

Maybe even one of the ones released in the latest prisoner exchange.

In both cases it was no big deal as far as we were concerned to take their country away from them.

Yep. We went with "might makes right."

Even so, their guerilla tactics were eventually successful -- along with public opinion both domestic and globally -- that drove us out of that country. I see some similarities between the North Vietnamese and the Palestinians.

True. One side of my family is German and my grandfather would speak of the nervousness he sometimes felt during the war at the mention of his very German last name. But the prejudice in these cases is of a different dimension.

Doesn't matter what Israel did 12 years ago. You don't get to cling to that with a vice grip.

You MAGAs to a man howled in protest when Obama traded five Taliban for a US Army ranger

Why the ginormous and massive flip flop?

Bergdahl was a Taliban prisoner because he DESERTED

According to soldiers involved in the effort to find Bergdahl, at least six soldiers from his battalion were killed during the search.

And the five Taliban prisoners that Obama released were HIGH RISK including two that were responsible for MASS MURDERS

So yes MAGA is right . Obama made a shitty trade.

Me neither. Likewise, I know that for decades, innocent Israelis and Americans have been murdered by Palestinian terrorists. I have no sympathy for terrorists nor their supporters.

It's the law of the jungle. As an anthropology student, you know that is true. :)

Guerilla tactics can work, but they require the support of the local population. The Cold War resulted in a lot of strange bedfellows, mostly the US aligning with RW dictators like Diem while the communists promised peace and prosperity for all...until they took over, then, not so much. LOL
