During a video address directed at the people of Lebanon, Netanyahu said: "You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.

    like we see in Gaza.

    Putrid bastard can’t even own his own genocide. It’s what You’re, or We’re meaning Israel, is doing to Gaza.

    The worst kind of coward, a bloodthirsty one.

      Hamas is still holding hostages in Gaza. How bad does it have to get in Gaza before they release them?

        As gruesome as it may be. It might be because it’s their last negotiating card. If they can actually get bibi to the table again to accept a genuine cease fire.

          Negotiate for what? Release of Hamas prisoners when the planner of the October 7 massacre (and current leader of Hamas) was released in a previous exchange?

          The only thing they’re holding out for is more donation money from people angered over the suffering of Palestinians. Hamas has monetized the suffering of Palestinians, so why would they want a ceasefire?

          Hamas is incentivized to let the suffering continue. But eventually the IDF will find whatever hole Sinwar is hiding in. Once he’s out of the picture maybe whoever takes his place will have some humanity and surrender to put an end to the bloodshed. I don’t hold out much hope for anyone in Hamas doing the honourable thing though. They’re warped people that think that death is a good thing.
