How many innocent Palestinians will get arrested in the West Bank for every Palestinian they release?

Are they going to release these prisoners back into Gaza to starve or be bombed?

There’s been reporting that they’ll move them into Gaza even if they weren’t from there before.

Didn't they start blasting within 24 hours of the last ceasefire?

Which is why Hamas is only releasing three per week.

I betting this one goes to shit again and the world won't care again.

Very possible. But it is hard to get any worse than it already was.

Fuck Biden for not making this happen right away. There is now evidence in the polling that people stayed home because of Biden enabling this Nazi style extermination.

Reminds me of jimmy carter and the iran hostage crisis.

There is now also evidence that staying home and not voting Democrat was the correct choice to stop the genocide.

I thought Trump was gonna ramp it up and nuke the entirety of Gaza and the West Bank on day one, tho?

Don't get me wrong, death to America regardless of the septuagenarian in the hot seat, but y'all need to pick a lane lol

Israel delayed stopping their Genocide by 1.5 years especially for Trump.

Luckily Biden kept topping up those 2000 pound bombs Israel would have ran out of like 50 times by now.

Not really the same situation, is it? Was Jimmy Carter sending Iran billions of dollars in weapons while also claiming he was attempting to get the hostages released? Do you have evidence that Israel was working with the Trump campaign to delay a ceasefire? When Reagan was campaigning against Jimmy Carter, was he making claims that Iran should kill all of the hostages?

Because the reporting seems to indicate that Trump's people simply put pressure on Israel and now this is the result.

Sure doesn't sound like they were working together, moreso that Trump was willing to put pressure where Biden was not. I say this as someone who loathes Trump.
