If Israel cared about hostages being released, they would have handled it by now. They've given up on saving the hostages, and just using them as an excuse to massacre civilians.

Oh my god, they wouldn't consider genocide would they?!
Is carpet bombing the entire area and everyone in it genocide?
For Trump that's just preparing the terrain for real estate development.
Gaza sits on such a valuable beachfront! But those ugly ruins... Someone ought raze them down
Now they’re gonna do super genocide and expand to Greater Israel
To the people who stayed home or voted 3rd party because they claimed to care about the people of Gaza.
"Trump for peace"
Oh but haven't you heard? No wars under Trump. Trump will end it as soon as he takes office, or so I heard from some voters dumb enough to no longer be in my life.
define "hell"
He will build a golf course on all that newly available beach front property.
LOL! Fat Donnie will help Netanyahoo delete Gaza. What a scum!
ML: but what about genocide Joe?!?!
Yup, we elected Trump again. And there'll be Hell Toupee.
Is it possible a deal is nearing, and Donald Trump is posturing to take credit for it?
The Biden administration has been working since last year with Israel and international mediators, including Qatar and Egypt, on a cease-fire deal that would include release of the hostages.
I'm sure this is just a coincidence and all that was really needed to end the conflict was an old man yelling "Don't make me come in there".
After all, Hamas has such a long history of being scared of the US and trying to avoid poking that particular bear. /s
More likely he is posturing to take credit for whatever he can regardless of the outcome.
Isn't this the fascist that called prisoners of war losers? As if he gives two shits about hostages...
Well, this is what the people in Dearborn voted for.
They get to watch the carpet bombing of Gaza.
Or he'll drop a nuke. Because that's the hardest anyone has been hit in our long and storied history.
This is what the people in Dearborn voted for—along with the people of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and others.
Across the board, almost every category trended rightward (edit: by way of staying home, you know what I mean) since the last election. Ask yourself: why is your first instinct to attack the tiny minority in Michigan who have been treated as subhuman for months? They’ve been held in constant limbo while their families are killed, ignored as they plea for mercy from a government that continually sinks deeper into racism and hatred.
If I saw my friends and family being treated like irrational animals, I might not be surprised to feel the urge to act irrationally.
You’re not even wrong about your statements, but … have some damn empathy.
It didn't trend rightward.
Democrats stayed home just like they did in 2016.
They were convinced through our republican controlled media that voting wasn't worth the effort.
So now my empathy isn't worth their's. I hope all 88 million who stayed home on election day have a completely hellish next 2 years. I'm circling my wagons right here at home and watching those apathetic fuckers learn a major lesson.
It's probably the only way they will learn to pay attention. Or they will die from some weird ass disease.
Happy Holidays!
It's not "empathy" if it's part of some imagined negotiation in your mind.
Oh no! The carpet bombing of Gaza! Would hate to see that when Biden is out of office! Trump is going to hit the 25% of the remaining buildings!
I was thinking, hell to pay? Is that like, the name of the last neighborhood left or?
He'd have to drop 3 to make it harder.
Not necessarily. The bombs dropped on Japan had kiloton yields. ! modern nuke would easily be in the megaton range
Gazans with infected amputation wounds starving in tents: "Oh no! He'll take away our 1 daily piece of bread."
