    Why does the article call the people held by Israel “prisoners”, but the people held by Palestine “hostages”?

        The Israeli prisoners were detained and arrested.

        The Israelis held by Hamas have been given many more rights than the average Palestinian prisoner.

        This is an outright lie, Palestinians are being amputated because of zipties to their limbs

        Again, Israel has no interest in “rehabilitating” its hostages, whereas Hamas is specifically offering to release theirs.


        At worst this is hostages on both sides. Your assessment only proves how much more hospitable Hamas have been to its captives than Israel, even at a time of war and famine brought on by Israel’s onslaught.

    Reuters still pushing Zionist propaganda 6 months in. Sad to see.

    We all know israel is the only party rejecting an actual permanent ceasefire.

      Wars generally end when one side surrenders.

      Neither Israel nor Hamas wants to surrender, so there is no reason to expect a “permanent ceasefire”.

        A lot of wars have ended in a stalemate.

        And if Israel is just stopping the onslaught in Gaza it is not a surrender. They wouldn’t have given up anything.

          Wars end in stalemate when both sides agree that they cannot make further military advances. That’s not the case here.

        There have been multiple previous wars between Hamas and israel, and other parties like Lebanon, and it usually ends in a ceasefire.

        Israel saying they want keep committing Genocide after a 6 week break and then occupy Gaza isn’t exactly a great deal.
