Breitbart ^ | 11/22/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Israelis are weighing the pros and cons of a hostage deal with Hamas that the government approved late Tuesday night, and which will go into effect at 10:00 a.m. local time (3:00 a.m. EST) on Thursday morning.

Under the deal, Hamas will release fifty female, child, and/or elderly hostages over the course of four days, during which time Israel will halt its military offensive in Gaza. Israel will also release 150 female and/or teenage Palestinian prisoners, and deliver additional food and fuel to the Gaza Strip.

A four day cease fire is too long. should’ve been four hours.

Yep, global pressure has put a gun on Israel’s head to force them to be “the nice guy”. 4 days is way too long, ridiculous actually

Here’s the situation: Hamas says “Ha Ha!” We just went in and massacred your people, Raping and torturing your women and little girls to death! And look! We have hostages, and so Now, you must negotiate with us, as a legitimate state, in order to get them Back. When you do, we will shout to the world “Allah Akbar”, as you bow to the mighty power of Islam. You have just demonstrated why the World will be Ours!
The answer to these God damned evil bastards is Simple: You release every single hostage, in good shape, now, and we will let Gaza continue to exist. If you do not, we will kill all the fighting age men in Gaza and ship all the others to Muslim countries. Bedouin shepherds will graze their flocks on your graves. Enough of this Bullshit.

It’s a pointless deal.
Israel will get no protection.
It will not end the conflict.
It will drag out the misery for everyone.
It’s a war, listen to what Sherman said.

“You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out.”

Israel needs to finish the war against the people that brought it.

Not me either-—a 3 to one ratio & HAMAS gets time to re-outfit their fighters.

A SHORT HISTORY OF MID-EAST MUSLIM TERRORISM - THE US GOVERNMENT TEN STEP PLAN

  1. The USA gives billions of taxpayer dollars to muslim terrorists as "Humanitarian Aid"

  2. Muslim terrorists use the aid money to buy weapons and to support themselves

  3. Muslim terrorists attack Israel

  4. Israel retaliates

  5. Israel gains the upper hand

  6. Terrorist sympathizers in the USA accuse Israel of genocide, demand a ceasefire

  7. The US Government forces a ceasefire on Israel

  8. Once again the USA protects the muslim terrorists from annihilation by Israel

  9. The Israeil military withdraws, muslim terrorists regroup to rearm and rebuild

  10. GO TO STEP ONE AND REPEAT
