What?

 

It didn't even occur to me that you'd be getting less hostages because they're worth more 

Thought hamas were taking the piss getting more or there are substantially more prisoners than hostages

The value things doesn't work for me either way

 

Hamas: We want 15 hostages back

Israel, ok, we only want 5, because we're worth more than you 

Or

Israel: we want 5 hostages released and we're worth more so you get 15 in return 

Hamas: deal 

 

The only way I see Israel thinking they are worth more is by then demanding less Israelis in return, or offering more Palestinians in return 

It doesn't compute for me how they'd go about negotiating with that mindset 

I don't get why Hamas get 3:1 but Jews are meant to be tight so not sure this is a good deal for them

What am I wrong about?

Not saying you’re wrong but if I/we don’t understand it’s difficult to judge.

‘The police of today are a bit like Steptoe and Son. They're a bit like the Moon. They're a bit like David Bellamy's beard.’

You could be right of course in a world none of us know anything about.

In 2006, Israel released 1000 Palestinian prisoners for 1 Israeli soldier. We know what your ‘tight’ ’ means but as usual, there is more to it than that.

Is it because Israel hold a lot more prisoners than Hamas?

They can place value all they like but fact is Hamas are getting more prisoners back so any such notion is fucking themselves over surely 

And I can't believe that would be the case

Hamas have hostages.

Israel have prisoners. 
 

There is no equivalence.

There are over 200 hostages. Babies, children, women and men. Torn away from their families. Not all Jews. What was their crime? Why are you deflecting from the most heinous act of barbarism?

Once the pause ends, Israel can just kill them anyway.

It's not defecting to understand the bigger picture and see both sides to this. Nor is it defending the barbarism you're talking about.

Babies, children, women and men, most of which were not Hamas. Torn away for their families, bombed to ashes on an evacuation route; in a UN school shelter or whilst delivering emergency care. What was their crime? Living in proximity with Hamas, is that enough for you? 

Many of the acts of barbarism you talk of have also been committed by Israel. Both before Hamas, and since their rise to power. A child can be kept in prison for years, with no trial or access to legal aid. Israel has no obligation to offer a fair trial and they can keep them in with "secret evidence" of which they don't have to disclose. Many are kept for years and then released with no charge and no explanation.

Is that not being torn away from your family as well? Or is it not barbaric if they're wearing uniform?

I'm not 

Not once during this thread have i defended or deflected from what cunts hamas are  

My angle has always been why are Israel justified in their actions which more often than not are also heinous 

I think they are both cunts 

But it also looks like, as is often the case, Israel treats all Palestinians whether they be innocent babies, children, women or men and terrorists the same way 

The suggestion from that article is a lot of people who have been arrested committed no crime.  

Does that make some hostages too? Especially when tortured 

What is the difference?

One short answer. Im talking about innocent Hostages taken by a terrorist organisation. 

....and the hostages on the other side are those captured for stabbing and acts of terrorism.

 

Id say 5 to 1 is a decent ratio.

Are we talking about Israel or Hamas? 

Have you read that amnesty article? 

Do you want to? Have you read it and refused to believe it? Do you think it's lies? Or do you think it's ok? 

Why are you deflecting from what Israel do to innocent Palestinians en masse in far greater numbers than what comes their way?

Honestly, when you read things like that I find it hard to understand anyone can happily choose a side here 

Do you value Israeli lives more than Palestinians?

There is a lot of info about the crimes the prisoners committed. That’s why they are in prison. Some may dispute that.

There are also lots of photos of totally innocent people, many children. Who were taken on 7th October. That’s indisputable.
Forgetting 3000 years of history. That’s where we are now. innocent people being bargained with criminals and some seem comfortable with that. I’m not.

8 questions in one post! Cheese would be proud of you. 
I’ll think about it and be back to you in a week.😳

Yeah I suppose if you ignore that and everyday since October 7th then yes I can understand why you would back Israel 100%

I look forward to catching up next week
