So Israel is suddenly ready and willing to discuss peace terms but that gosh darn rascal trump is up to his ol’ mischief and is rallying against it because it’s going to make Kamala look too good?

I don’t buy it.

        inadvertently

        If the former hostages keep saying good things about Khamas, they may start doing it intentionally

        Even that one hostage that had bad things to say about Khamas was coming up with weird excuses for why she wasn’t SAed and even went out of her way to undress herself in front of the Khamas guard because she knew it would make him uncomfortable (and it did, so he left)

          Holy shit, I did not hear about this but wow that sounds hilarious.

          He probably thought she was being such a creepy, weird ass Zionist.

            If I recall correctly her name is Mia Shem; unsurprisingly she’s also the ‘every Gazan is guilty’ type person, and I’m not sure but I think she was also saying this to include children as well. I’ve seen zionists post her ‘every Gazan is guilty’ quote in their twitter bios, bizarrely (I say sarcastically) not including quotes by any of the other hostages who actually said they weren’t harmed by Khamas.

    i completely believe this, Nixon and Reagan pulled stunts like that but in this case Netanyahu might’ve just needed to reassure Donnie that he wasn’t going to do that anyway. Or threaten Donnie into promising more aid lol

    While it is in character for Trump/the republicans to try to stall peace talks so they can get a win (Nixon in Vietnam, Reagan with the Iranian hostage crisis), I kinda doubt they’d be able to stop Israel’s genocide (not that they want to).

    And what does trump have to offer bibi in this hypothetical phone call as leverage for this delay? I’m trying to debunk this claim but it’s so stupid ive restarted twice, unable to decide where to begin. Its just too damn dumb

    That shit did happen to Jimmy Carter, where the alphabet backrooms really wanted freedom-and-democracy and got what they paid for by delaying a hostage deal.

    i mean it’s probably true, and the tweet is really not implying anything about the israeli side, other than that trump is a piece of shit.
