Hamas/Israel conflict: news and discussion

[nottsgirl]

Wtf are 'technical difficulties'?

The hostages aren’t all held by Hamas the BBC said. So getting a commitment to hand them over, even perhaps confirmation they are alive I guess.

No, Israel wants the names of the 3 hostages. Hamas is blaming 'technical difficulties' as to why that can't happen. Maybe try rebooting?

Sorry? Is there any need to be so rude?

 

[Petcha]

Sorry?

What doesn't make sense about that post? Israel wants the names of the 3 hostages to be released this morning. Hamas is refusing that blaming 'technical difficulties'

Sorry I thought it was directed at me.

The ceasefire is delayed, because Hamas haven’t handed over the full list of hostages to be released. So sad.

What the hell is Netanyahu playing at? Is he just stalling?

Sorry I thought it was directed at me.

I think they were more alluding to the 'turn it off and on again' approach to the 'technical difficulties'.

I was being facetious about the technical difficulties. The helpdesk would advise you to reboot. Silly joke.

The Israeli Genocide Force is, of course, exploiting the delayed ceasefire to continue its slaughter of the Palestinians.

If you search anti Semitic on the boards, the most returned poster is Tim.


Tim was the name of Pavlov’s dog.

I followed your advice and did a search for 'anti semitic' across the boards. There was one post by tim on the first three pages.

I can see how accusations of antisemitism would bother some people though; it's not nice when you believe you're not racist, or a liar, to be painted in a public forum as if you are.

Pavlov by the way used more than one dog in his work on conditioning.

So, the names of the hostages to be released have been released.

I hate to be that weird idiot who writes to the BBC but why are the Israelis referred to as 'hostages' yet the Palestinians released are called 'prisoners'?

Sadly not just confined to the BBC. It's western media in general that does it.

Is this Israeli foreign minister doing the presser on ket or something? I thought Blinken was the worst communicator in global diplomacy. It's like watching an AI version of a foreign minister.

The media also consistently refer to october 7th and how Hamas killed 1200 people. No mention of how perhaps as many as 300 of those people may have been killed by the IDF, how hundreds were Israeli soldiers or police. No mention of Israel's claim to have killed 1500 Hamas fighters inside Israel on the same day. This can all seem like nit picking, and without doubt Hamas bears overall responsibility for what happened that day, but the near daily uniformity of message is quite deliberate.

 

[brogdale]

The psychopaths are going to be riled to find themselves 87 corpses down on their daily target.

Just heard a BBC R5 report using the respective hostage/prisoner terms but adding a grudging qualification that "...some Palestinians believe that their people held by the Israelis are also hostages..."

The Palestinians, whether being held or murdered by Israel, are treated like an afterthought when they are mentioned.
