After 2 years I’ve come to equate an Israel cease fire to reloading your weapon.
For their sake, I hope the palestinians are able to think more clearly than that.
I’m calling it:
Once the hostages are released, Israel will claim they have yet to release some people. Then for no reason, “Hamas” (as in, Israel, but with glasses and fake beards) will attack Israel, propably killing some pro palestine people or journalists, and then Israel will carpet bomb the whole place
Nah, Israel would never do a false flag…
If they were to carpet bomb the whole place, completely wipe the rest of it out. I think it would be impossible for people to deny the genocide. Well, anyone with a conscious and some glimmer of morality.
For the deniers, the sky is blue and they would still scream it’s red.
from another AP article:
This would be the third ceasefire reached since the start of the war. The first, in November 2023, saw more than 100 hostages, mainly women and children, freed in exchange for Palestinian prisoners before it broke down. In the second, in January and February of this year, Palestinian militants released 25 Israeli hostages and the bodies of eight more in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Israel ended that ceasefire in March with a surprise bombardment.
maybe I’m cynical (OK, I’m definitely cynical) but I very much doubt this ceasefire is going to last.
there are two things in the world that Trump wants more than anything else. one is to fuck his daughter. the other is a Nobel Peace Prize.
I suspect the timing of this agreement comes from Netanyahu trying to manufacture a justification for Trump to get the Nobel. after the prize is announced (whether Trump receives it or not) they’ll kick the genocide back into high gear again.
Trump seems chaotic and libertarian enough to me that he might actually stop the Israel military aid if he is snubbed.
