Indeed, Hamas is responsible for all of that.

Here come the personal trolling slurs as deflection from this

Nothing evasive here, more than happy to point out the veil slip The subject matter has been discussed numerous times, always brought up by apologists again and again despite it being in so many previous topics with the facts and not taken out of context. Your comment on it will also now never go away.

They tend to eventually out themselves, the veil always slips.

Latest Updates from ISW NEW w/ @criticalthreats: Hamas’ leaders have very likely calculated that Hamas will survive a Rafah operation and that Hamas should therefore pursue its maximalist ceasefire demands without major concessions. 🧵 2/ The IDF's drawdown in the Gaza Strip after December 2023 appears to have indicated to Hamas that the group was winning by forcing the IDF from the Gaza Strip. 3/ Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip Yahya Sinwar indicated as early as February 2024 that he did not fear a Rafah operation. 4/ Hamas introduced a ceasefire counterproposal on May 6 with two key changes that Israel had not accepted. The Hamas-proposed ceasefire includes two key stipulations that would satisfy Hamas’ maximalist demands: an end to the Israeli “blockade” and a permanent end to the war. 5/ The United States said that Hamas did not agree to a ceasefire deal. The United States clarified that Hamas offered "amendments [or a] counterproposal." https://state.gov/?post_type=state_briefing&%3Bp=92333 6/ The additional demands that Hamas introduced in the May 6 ceasefire counterproposal secure both Hamas’ survival and its ability to reconstitute by limiting Israel’s ability to disrupt supplies bound for Hamas.

“At a time when Israel continues to negotiate in good faith to secure the release of hostages, including American citizens, the administration’s shortsighted, strategic error calls into question its ‘unshakeable commitment’ as an ally,” McCaul and Rogers wrote. House GOP chairs lash out at Biden over pause in Israeli arms shipment But Republicans and critics of the administration’s move to hold arms transfers throws into question U.S. solidarity with Israel amid intense negotiations to reach a cease-fire deal that would secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas since they were kidnapped in its Oct. 7 terrorist attack. “We are appalled that the administration paused crucial arms shipments to Israel,” the Republican House chairs wrote. “The administration must allow these arms shipments to move forward to uphold the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security and ensure that Israel can defend itself and defeat Hamas.” https://thehill.com/policy/international/4651830-house-gop-chairs-lash-out-biden-pause-israeli-arms-shipment/

Meanwhile US hostages linger in the tunnels of Rafah. Pro-Israel Democrats slam Biden’s threat to stop arms transfers if Israel enters Rafah Prominent pro-Israel Democrats criticize US President Joe Biden for threatening to halt the transfer of offensive weaponry to Israel if the IDF carries out an offensive in Rafah. “Hard disagree and deeply disappointing,” says US Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. Representative Ritchie Torres of New York told Axios he suspects Biden is “pandering to the far left.” “It looks like election year politics was driving it. That’s my impression,” he adds. “I’d like the president to do right by Israel and recognize that the far left is not representative of the rest of the country.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/pro-israel-democrats-slam-bidens-threat-to-stop-arms-transfers-if-israel-invades-rafah/

Here's a movie of it being done by the protestors! Get that frigging head out of Al Jazeera News!

How Hamas fooled the world Sinister Hamas terms would let it keep most hostages, win the war, inflame the West Bank But the Hamas proposal is structured to enable it to release very few of the hostages in return not only for an end to the IDF’s campaign in Gaza and its survival and resumption of full control there, but also for a planned surge in support for Hamas in the West Bank, the further neutering of the Palestinian Authority, and the potential major escalation of violence against Israel in and from the West Bank. https://www.timesofisrael.com/sinister-hamas-deal-would-let-it-keep-most-hostages-win-the-war-inflame-the-west-bank/

A true Hamas apologist who wears his badge of honor with style 🤮

Israel has no choice. Protect civilians and targeted strikes. https://twitter.com/Mike_Pence/status/1787672329956294870 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzLoHgalsms&t=59s

Says you who believes Israel should not have its own state, the true river to the sea peddler.

If he does than I will let him answer for himself as I don't see Biden weaponizing anything there.

Propagandists? So when "Mr al Wahaidi (Hamas) told Sky News that this was a "media estimate". He was not able to explain the basis for this estimate or who had produced it." that was just propaganda? Or when Gaza Health Authority (Hamas) told the WSJ "The ministry says its casualty counts include two types of fatalities: those recorded by medical facilities and those reported by “reliable media sources.” In its March 31 report, the ministry attributes 15,070 of the dead, or 45.9%, to news reports. From which outlets?" that was just propaganda? I could go on but you've obviously not read any of the links I supplied or whether your article is also missing information from them.............oh dear

Just one of the changes Hamas carried out to the deal: "While the original deal called for 33 living hostages, Hamas changed the wording to include 33 hostages “alive or bodies,” officials told public broadcaster KAN TV." Can't get much lower than that.

Its truly awful, the way civilians have been used in their war against Israel. Never before has there ever been anything so horrific that I can think of. This is an opinion piece but worth a read: Israel's Attack on Rafah Must Proceed. Here's Why | Opinion https://www.newsweek.com/israels-attack-rafah-must-proceed-heres-why-opinion-1885629

No Freudian slip here. Just the high risk of international reporters getting kidnapped.

One of the high risks that I always thought about would be the reporters being taken hostage themselves. After all, this is a unique war, the terrorists walk among civilians. International reporters would need a high level of protection from IDF otherwise they'll be a major target for kidnapping. Hamas don't bother kidnapping Al Jazeera....we know why......lol

Kerem Shalom Crossing reopens to Gaza aid, days after Hamas attack forced closure.

This clears it up. From US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller. US: Hamas claimed to accept ceasefire offer, but ‘that’s not what they did’ "Hamas seemed to make clear in their public statements that they accepted that offer yesterday. That is not what they did. They responded with amendments or a counter-proposal, and we’re working through the details of that now. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/us-hamas-claimed-to-accept-ceasefire-offer-but-thats-not-what-they-did/

LOL, the Israel Times has a higher factual rating than the Washington Post. Would you like to get back on topic now?

Your claim: Your claim is wrong. Its has a "high" factual rating for news, the same as the New York Times.

That's been in Israeli media for quite some time https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-confirms-holding-up-sale-of-heavy-bombs-it-feared-israel-would-use-in-rafah/ Its also in the other topic

US signals backing for ‘limited op’ after IDF takes over Gazan side of Rafah crossing State Department says legitimate for Israel to prevent Hamas from collecting revenue at border gate with Egypt, while urging quick reopening of crossing so aid deliveries continue https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-signals-backing-for-limited-op-after-idf-takes-over-gazan-side-of-rafah-crossing/
