so in case you missed it, israel killed hundreds to thousands of palestinians intentionally by changing times they can line up for aid and then bombing them with tanks or planes when they line up too soon
theres been no success when the war restarted, with the stated being to raze as many houses as possible

Hostages returned this morning. What a moment.
I have no problem giving Trump and his team credit for this. A happy day."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Agreed. Good for the White House team that got this done. I would love to know the inside story and hope it included the U.S. taking Bibi to the woodshed and forcing an agreement.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostHostages returned this morning. What a moment.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Same, they obviously played a big role in this.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostHostages returned this morning. What a moment.

I can't even try to relate what these innocent people were subjected to. It's also another indicator (as if one was needed) of why Hamas is a terrorist group and not a popular resistance movement.

WSJ article indicates that Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar pressured Hamas to take the deal even though it was on terms Hamas didn't want.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post

BBC indicates the same. I think that is the difference between the Biden effort and this breakthrough. Trump just has a different relationship with those regimes for better and for worse. It appears for better this time around. You know, blind squirrels and nuts and all. This pressure made it somewhat plausible that Hamas would comply with the disarmament terms of the agreement where no one really believed that part of the deal in past proposals. We will see if it actually works as Hamas is already fighting potential rivals in Gaza. But at least the hostages are out and there is a potential path to a long-term ceasefire.Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View Post

Much of what Trump says on the world stage makes me cringe but I'm happy to give him credit for this win and happy that his worst instincts and vanity in the courting of these leaders was used to the west's advantage in this case.

Bibi doesn't deserve a lot of props here.

Maybe even the Nobel Peace Prize next year!
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
