  • I’m now starting to understand why this administration is so horrendous on foreign policy. They’re all mentally deficient on top of their moral deficiency
  • So he admits collective punishment is the leverage
  • Miller, Patel, Kirby, Blinken, Netanyahu, smotrich, ben-giver, gallant, idf, regev, levy, david mens-whatever and lets throw in a couple of nobodies like Shapiro and schmuley... If you still somehow support this lot, can anyone fill me in as to why ?
  • They arrested 3 people that attack aid meanwhile there are hundreds of settlers preventing aid from getting in.
  • @va.6819
    Now someone would like to pay Hamas? Incredible.
  • Is it wrong to say that if we are 30 trillion dollars in debt we don't have money? Is that a false statement? Where is all this money coming from? will these supplies be intercepted by the terrorists?
  • If incentive is the well being of the Palestinian people then US admits that israel is in effect performing collective punishment
  • ICC has no jurisdiction in this conflict but they're welcomed in the Ukraine war. No double standards from America.
  • This has long been my issue with these negotiations. Given Israel's position that they must destroy Hamas and all its military capabilities, and that so far this has meant basically flattening all the major cities and mass casualties, a temporary ceasefire is hardly an acceptable position for Hamas. It's important to remember that Israel is a democracy (at least Israel Proper). As such, it's politically expedient to act in line with the wishes of most Israelis. Israelis largely want to get hostages back, to continue the war and prevent aid to Gaza. Once Israel has the hostages back, it can then justify large-scale destruction of what remains of Gaza with the complete backing of almost all Israelis. For Hamas, the hostages are a lifeline for the Palestinian people. A ceasefire doesn't mean aid comes flooding back in. The Israeli government is politically incentivised not to allow aid into Gaza. There is very little that would change. And what point would there be in rebuilding for 6 weeks if it could all be destroyed afterwards? The fact that the US has fought so hard to prevent a ceasefire in the UN Security Council suggests that they aren't interested in the wellbeing of Palestinians as much as they're interested in the goals of the government of Israel. So I'd hardly take them seriously when they talk about the interests of the people of Gaza.
  • @glennt3207
    Hamas,,,Bloods,,,Crips....Cartels...what's the incentive?
  • "Stanley cohen,el abogado de hamas". (Sanevox ingles) 🇵🇸✌️
  • Netanyahu refuses letting the hostages come back home to their family members. Netanyahu doesn't want a ceasefire, you liar.
