You're the only one going in circles. That's the fact. It was global hostage day yesterday. Listen/read what they had to say.

Yes the reason I am not one of the generals is because I am British.

Oh gawd here we go, history is another topic not this one Why Did Hamas Attack Israel on Oct 7th 2023 a Historical Perspective https://aseannow.com/topic/1324728-why-did-hamas-attack-israel-on-oct-7th-2023-a-historical-perspective/

This was the version that was banned by the Eurovision organizers but was far better and would have won for sure, amazing!

Global Rally for Hostages yesterday in Israel Ambassadors, musicians headline rally highlighting plight of international hostages Hillary Clinton sends video message; US, UK, German and Austrian envoys address crowd, along with Rachel Polin-Goldberg; Eden Golan, Netta Barzilai, Noga Erez perform. The families of hostages held in Gaza rallied in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, with a high-profile lineup of international speakers and musicians to demand the release of the 125 hostages still held by Hamas since October 7, who hold citizenship from 24 countries. Video messages from former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Dr. Phil were screened for the crowd at the event. There were also speeches by US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew, UK Ambassador to Israel Simon Walters, German Ambassador to Israel Steffen Seibert and Austrian Ambassador to Israel Nikolaus Lutterotti. https://www.timesofisrael.com/ambassadors-musicians-to-headline-rally-highlighting-plight-of-international-hostages/ Dr. Phil recorded this message for tonight's gathering in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square: "It's been seven months since October 7 and Hamas still holds 132 hostages from 20 different countries. Hostages being subjected to physical, sexual, and psychological torture. This is not an Israeli issue; this is an international issue, and we need the world's support to get all of these hostages back home. I'm waiting together with you for the return of your loved ones. The world cannot continue to progress until all of these hostages are home. You need to know that all of us here in America have this uppermost in our mind. This is not something that is just happening halfway around the world. We understand this truly impacts everyone of us everyday. You're on our minds and we want this to happen for you. We love you, we care about you, and we stand unified with you each and every day as these loved ones are missing from your lives. God bless you and know that we're behind you every step of the way." https://x.com/AvivaKlompas/status/1791887925996613901 "These hostages represent so much more than just who they are. They are citizens of 17 countries, they practice five religions, they are our fellow men and women and yes children." Hillary Clinton recorded this message to the families of hostages: "To all who are gathered, let me first express my deepest sympathy for the losses that have been suffered, and for those families who are still separated from their loved ones. I know, having met family members of hostages, how deep the pain is, and I know that you will never stop advocating for the release of your loved ones, your family members, your friends, everyone who was kidnapped and is being held hostage. These hostages represent so much more than just who they are. They are citizens of 17 countries, they practice five religions, they are our fellow men and women and yes children. They should be freed immediately. Action should be taken immediately to bring them home. President Biden, I and so many Americans stand with you as you seek their return. I will pray for them and for you that you are reunited soon. This terrible tragedy of their being held hostage must end now." https://x.com/AvivaKlompas/status/1791894962344182258

Oh ok who else don't you give a toss about?

Ah so it's ok for Fetterman to agree with the Generals who you don't give a toss about.....lol

I am not being critical of them though. Is Fetterman also a looney tune? What does he want?

I know you don't give a toss about the experts. You made that clear already. I doubt they give a toss about you.

Oh already provided in my first post. Let's not get into the Guardian that has its own issues. But can go there to if you wish. All this over trying to deflect the experts opinion eh. 80 US generals.

Of course it is. But then Pro Palastinians will always deny this as many deny the atrocities of Oct 7th

And? At the end of the day 80 ex US generals and me don't give a fig about the antisemitic Quincy

This is just not going away. Founded 3 years ago with one co founder being an Iranian Trita Parsi (who also happened to be National Iranian American Council president.) The Institute is against all the US Military Industrial Complex and any military conflicts. Especially if it involves Israel as they are also extremely antisemitic.

5 links. Dozens more available. Denial of an Iranian co founded institute and its purpose is noted. Especially when it's critical of an established Jewish org

Except there are 5 separate links to issues raised and what else do you expect than for them to deny their blatant antisemitism

Tragic, another hostage body found in the same operation has been announced. Ron Benjamin, 53, who was abducted by Hamas terrorists on the morning of October 7. Body of hostage recovered from Gaza, says IDF The military said Mr Benjamin was killed at the Mefalsim intersection, and his body was "abducted to Gaza by Hamas militants". Identification was carried out on Mr Benjamin's body and his family have been informed. Mr Benjamin's family told Israeli media that he had been taking part in a group cycle ride near the Gaza border when the Hamas attack began and he decided to drive home. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cxwwlnrgw7go

Oh please, Responsible Statecraft/Quincy Institute. Founded 3 years ago with one co founder being an Iranian Trita Parsi (who also happened to be National Iranian American Council president.) The Institute is against all the US Military Industrial Complex and any military conflicts. Especially if it involves Israel as they are also extremely antisemitic. Republican senator accuses Soros-funded think tank of fostering anti-Semitism The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft is a non-interventionist foreign policy advocacy organization founded in 2019 with support from two major political donors, liberal George Soros and libertarian Charles Koch.

There's many in the bleeding hearts liberal west who would wlcome getting rid of prisoners wholesale. This topic is not about that, so I will leave you there..........

I have no idea why you put a video there on this when it was discussed numerous time before on this topic. I was also pointing out facts to you, couldn't care less about Politico and its comparisons, you shouldn't believe everything you read.....lol "We have confirmed that suspects in about 20 serious offences, including rape and murder, are fighters recruited by the Wagner mercenary group in prison and released early to serve in Ukraine." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66364272 Beside which Russia copied Wagner and started using prisoners a long time ago, so much so some of their prisons are now empty Russia's recruited so many inmates to fight in Ukraine that it's shuttering some of its prisons Russia's prison population has been plummeting as more inmates get recruited to fight in Ukraine. A local official said on Thursday that some prisons would be closed to "optimize and save money." Russia's military has been relying on prisoners to plug its manpower gaps. https://www.yahoo.com/news/russias-recruited-many-inmates-fight-054914358.html

Indeed it is last 2 paragraphs. Trust you....lol. but my post still stands. Its nothing like the Wagner recruitment.

That quote of yours is not in the link. One of the reasons being its not like the Wagner recruitment at all. This is in the link and unlike Wagner..................... " those who committed serious crimes including murder, rape, terrorism, dealing drugs and treason, will be ineligible to trade their jail terms for the defense of their country." Also unlike Wagner: "Other prisoners, as long as they weren't convicted of a serious crime, face one condition — no more than three years may remain before the end of their sentences. Requests to be allowed to fight in exchange for freedom must be approved by the courts."

I prefer NATO source, General Christopher Cavoli, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe than the Guardian

Latest Update https://x.com/DefenceHQ/status/1791744851182063715

“The Russians don’t have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. They don’t have the skill & the capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. I'm confident that the Ukrainians will hold the line,” – General Christopher Cavoli, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe 🇪🇺 told reporters after a meeting of the alliance’s defense chiefs at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

Since when did Ukraine want to invade Russia with boots on the ground? What a strange strawman
