Israel won’t end war for deal to free all hostages, PM’s aide said to tell families - eviltoast

Remember when the war was supposed to end when all the hostages were released?

I wonder what all the people who told me that the objective of this war was to free the hostages are going to tell me now?

    That’s the Wikipedia bias. The vast majority of pages are written and maintained by a small number of people with a Western Centrist perspective, which tends to be more conservative. You start to notice it more once you see it for the first time.

      Is Khalil al-Hayya, senior Hamas official also tainted by western bias?

      From Al Jazeera (also western bias?):

      Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the group’s political bureau, said that Hamas “is serious about releasing Israeli captives within the framework of an agreement” that also ensures the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

      So to summarize: The Palestinian prisoners are referred to as prisoners by Hamas. The non combatants taken hostage by Hamas are not referred to as prisoners by Hamas.

      Whether you think the terrorist organisation Hamas are tainted by western bias or not is a different discussion that I’m not interested in taking part in.

      Have a nice evening. I will.
