Seems like every offer that demands that the hostages be released gets rejected. Wonder if that means they don't have as many living hostages as Israel believes.
Hopefully this can come to a conclusion quickly but it seems like various parties are making that more difficult all around.
Probably more about the condition of the female hostages
The UN conducted a preliminary investigation and found clear and convincing evidence of rape, gang rape, sexualized torture, and even sex with the corpses. Just think about that for moment and imagine what those poor female hostages are almost certainly going through right now. Disgusting. Hamas is the absolute scum of the earth.
From the UN report:
https://www.un.org/sexualviolenceinconflict/press-release/israel-west-bank-mission/
The important part that makes this propaganda:
That's why I said preliminary investigation. They said that there was enough clear and convincing evidence to warrant a full investigation by a range of UN bodies. That doesn't make it propaganda, you troll. It means that they are certain that sexual violence occurred, just not the full extent of it.
How could they know that sexual violence occurred, when they weren’t able to investigate? Did they take the word of Israeli officials?
So, rather than believe the words of the UN report, the 5000 photographs and the 50 hours of video they reviewed, you are proposing a conspiracy theory that the Israeli government's reason for refusing to cooperate with certain people in certain ways means that the rapes never happened? Dude....
You think vilifying Hamas as sexual deviants, which hasn’t been proven in an actual investigation, is actually gonna absolve Israel and the ongoing genocide that has killed 30,000 Palestinians? Dude…..
No, and I didnt say that. One bad deed doesn't absolve another. The main point of my comment is that there are still women being held hostage that are probably experiencing sexual torture right now and desperately need to be rescued immediately. Do you want to wait years for the final investigation before prioritizing the release of these poor women?
Then a sustained and immediate ceasefire should be the goal so the hostages can be freed, aid delivered, and all war crimes investigated. This ceasefire resolution was conditional on the hostages being released. It’s bass ackwards. Call for a ceasefire first, then the hostages will be released.
Gotcha. "We'll stop raping your women once you agree to the ceasefire. Never mind that the ceasefire is only necessary because we raped and killed your citizens first." Good logic. What a humanitarian you are. What should we call that, "rape diplomacy"?
If you want Hamas held accountable. Then a ceasefire is necessary. A full and complete investigation can only be conducted after a ceasefire. So, yeah, it’s good logic.
Dude, you are a horrible human being.
