peek-a-boo:
What really strikes me is the MSM showing pictures of Hamas fighters in shiny new uniforms. Hamas readily admits to shedding the uniforms and blending in with civilians while the IDF was active in the area. That violates the Geneva Convention’s Principle of Distinction.
Rather than being disgusted by that barbaric behavior, the MSM seems to react as if Hamas is somehow heroic in its ability to survive while using civilians as human shields.
Which, of course, is why their uniforms were in shiny condition for the photo ops.

Mmmmm.
He doesn’t understand the difference between a thumbed nose and a threat.

Oh I’m sure @Oryx understands the difference very well.
No need to be rude.

This is why the right sources are criticizing the agreement because it went against this assertion
And you keep opinionating that it will happen anyway and that it already happened . Despite all evidence to the contrary. You are purposefully ignoring the things you are reading not just from lib sources but non lib sources
I’m not following.
In my opinion, I don’t believe Israel is done by any means. I believe they are playing the game to get as many hostages back as possible. At some point I see it all falling apart and Israel once again going after Hamas.
That is my personal opinion.
And IMO your opinion is correct. Without hostages in the equation, political resistance by some Israelis to prosecute the military operations as they should be conducted, will be softened. Hamas took those hostages for a very good reason … to limit the options of Netanyahu and the IDF.

I disagree. @Oryx is an excellent poster.

Oh, I agree. But that doesn’t mean he can’t get it wrong. In this case, a couple of Americans held by a quasi-terrorist country poses no more threat to the US than they do without the hostages.

Has he actually said those words? I could not find a quote.
So I went to Grok and got the following:
There isn’t a direct quote from Volodymyr Zelensky explicitly comparing Donald Trump’s and Joe Biden’s toughness on Vladimir Putin in a straightforward manner. However, Zelensky has made statements that can be interpreted in different ways:

Not in so many words.
Why are you so obsessed about that. I’m simply expressing my opinion, yet you continue to dwell on it.
I believe Hamas is history, as an effective fighting force. I further believe this time is very different.
You obviously disagree. We’ve both presented our arguments. Neither of us can possibly know. Why can’t you let this go and agree to disagree?
Is he defending Hamas? Really?
This time is different because of the number of casualties and the way Hamas killed and raped people.
If you figure the difference in populations it would be like those animals killed over 30,000 Americans.
They will not forget!
I find it more interesting that Netanyahu called out Biden for taking credit for Trumps plan.

AI also said Seymour Butts was the brother of Woodrow Wilson and Anna Navarro believed it. It’s obvious Trump takes a hardline approach to his negotiation tactics.

Trump may well take a hardline approach but you stated that Zelensky said that Trump takes a harder stance on Putin than Biden.
I am just trying to determine if he said that or did you conclude that he may have said that?

I’m going off Biden giving Putin a pipeline and saying a minor incursion was ok all in a couple months span before the incursion. He also lifted their sanctions only to reinstate them later.

Lmao they are already succeeding which is why you are upset. Meanwhile you still can’t figure why you lost and double down on stupid.
Why is Pritzker fighting ICE trying to deport violent gang members? James in NY, now Ptrizker?
I said want them to succeed.
Good i am glad they are succeeding.
You are still not listening. Just randomly saying things. Slow down

Of course… notice the media spin. Both sides say that the other has failed. But who do the media say in the headlines?
