Although I'm not sure if this Hamas stuff is just for show or something they actually believe. All previous reports indicate that they know the idea of a full destruction of Hamas isn't realistic.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It also calls into question Biden's influence over Netanyahu. The reality is that Bibi is going to do what is political advantageous for him, not what Biden wants him to do. The fact that he is using Republicans in Congress as top cover to insulate himself from any pressure the WH exert on him will only enhance his position and further tie Biden's hands after Bibi addresses Congress soon.
Western media is actually more unreliable than Israeli media, so it's not that unsurprising. Israel's tactic is minimizing coverage, while the US goes for misinformation.
For instance, a few weeks back Hamas launched rockets at military camps close to the Kerem Shalom crossing. They killed a few soldiers. Israeli media either said nothing, or accurately reported that military targets were hit. Israel chose to close the crossing as a consequence, even though nothing was damaged. Western media, mostly American media, falsely reported that Hamas attacked the border crossing and therefore no aid could come through.
He's not wrong.
Netanyahu and the right wingers want Hamas out of Gaza, which means no ceasefire
Sinwar probably thinks the war and subsequent international condemnation has Israel on the back foot, which benefits the Hamas political position. He is also keenly aware that whatever hostages he has under his control are the last bargaining chips he has to keep himself alive.
Biden and his team are making a public spectacle that they are actively trying to broker a ceasefire deal for domestic consumption, knowing that a lasting ceasefire is never going to work as long as Sinwar remains in business in Gaza.
All three point to no lasting deals for the foreseeable future.
think it was posted here before, in case it wasn't:
something that struck me was that these look like military-age men. in the final debates about the numbers after the end of this slaughter, they would have been pretty uncontroversially put into the "Hamas" pile.

Vile.
Disgusting images from Jerusalem
It is obvious, they want hostages released, but no ceasefire. Only donkeys like Blinken will parrot nonsense statements that Israel accepted the deal unequivocally.
I'm not sure how you ever walk back from such evil thoughts. Maybe it's just coping strategy but once you elevate yourself above others to that extreme I'm not sure you'll ever truly recognise it as wrong.
And as usual, in the “only democracy in the ME”, in this “country of laws”, nothing will happen to those who do this. It will happen again tomorrow.
I think that I shared it before but listen to the answers even when they clearly understand that something is wrong:
It's crazy, in a "normal country", civilians go around with automatic rifles in a big city like Jerusalem shooting people for fun.
But, hey, don’t call them terrorists. They’re not Arabs/Muslims.
Some people are just more equal than the others.
All the same body parts, but not the same, not equal. Or something like that. Gotcha.
The gunmen just happily loitering about.
From an Israeli account that is in touch with many IDF people (and tracks their progress through Gaza)
Key points:
This same account has also been posting about the invasion of Lebanon, supposedly in August.

The sentence had me rolling because there was an 80's sketch of a fantastic french comedian named Coluche called "The Arab riot squad officer" where this exact sentence was used.All the same body parts, but not the same, not equal. Or something like that. Gotcha.
I'm sure @JPRouve or any french speaking poster understood the reference.
That settler forgot to mention "rectum" which is probably where the Palestinians rank in his body parts hierarchy. His enlightening testimony is reflected in this excellent documentary about the Israeli settlers and their ideological/religious indoctrination. If you think that Palestinian children are indoctrinated, just watch how it works on the other side.
These guys numbers are growing each passing day.

Both are happening if nothing's done. That's what Netanyahu wants, and what the corpse in the White House and his travelling pathological liar will get him.
The failure of this sham of a cease-fire will be then blamed on Hamas, just like the Camp David Accords failure was put on Arafat's bill.
I have seen the August date before for the Lebanon invasion, so that might be accurate.
So Biden going public with that 3-phase proposal is now looking like a nothingburger, I guess?
Seems like it. Like many nothing burgers of news saying that Biden was very mwad mwad mwad at Netanyahu but signing an arms delivery the next day. All PR stunts for electoralism
Some horrific details in this UN inquiry and they're only covering till December. You can find some of them in this thread.

And for a moment I thought he wouldn't go public like that unless he was dead serious that it was gonna happen.

Might as well post this in the hypernormalisation thread because this is very par for them.
Me too! I thought that it would be a tied deal with all parties if he dared to lay out in a public statement. And now we don't know if either of the 2 parts accepted
Didn't he like 3 months ago announce that a deal would happen the following Monday while eating an ice cream? Acting like bumbling idiots has been their strategy all along.
I wouldn’t say I’ve lost hope for the world but yeah, it’s purely just run by vested self interests, control, money and power. There’s very little right and wrong, in the grander scheme of things, per se.
Now I understand what G7 means, it means genocide 7.
only two countries in the entire world are against making food a right.
Not that there was any doubt about this.
