“If Hamas Just Released the Hostages This Would All Stop”
Just Another Deception Wielded in Israeli Genocidal Action
This is part of The Collapse of Zionism collection.
You’ll likely have noticed that this line of defence has become less popular. It’s not trotted out as often as it was in the earlier days.
They stopped pushing this line when Israel decided “destroying Hamas” was a better excuse for the genocide.
I’m not sure when that was exactly. It may have been around the time that it dawned on Netanyahu that he needed a more abstract end-goal to prolong the war (thereby delaying the prison sentence that awaits him when this war ends — he’s charged with corruption).
Or it may have been around about the time that it became screamingly obvious that Israel actually doesn’t give a shit about the hostages.
After all, Hamas has offered to return the hostages multiple times in exchange for the release of Palestinian hostages held by the Zionist regime. But Israel has never accepted a single offer.
