Israel on Saturday described as "propaganda" a claim by Hamas that the militant group had wanted to release two more hostages on humanitarian grounds but that Israel declined to receive them.
A. Hamas makes a statement, they want to release hostages no strings attached, Israel won’t let them ao they can’t.
B. Hamas is saying they have no ability to release hostages without Israeli assistance
C. The UN, and the Red Cross, operate inside of the Gaza strip
D. Hamas has access to the Egyptian border
Hamas statement is a lie, because point b contradicts point c and d.
Hamas statement is a lie because point a is contradicted by the contradiction and point b.
In war everybody lies, I fully acknowledge that, but here we have a statement that is self-contradictory in itself. Pointing out that this is a lie is not taking a side, it’s pointing out that this is a lie.
If people wanted to say the initial release of two US hostages, had some consideration for Hamas, and they were trying to hint that they wanted the same consideration again to release two Israeli hostages. Fine. But their statement would still be a lie, when they said they didn’t want anything to release these hostages for humanitarian reasons.
The fact that today, I guess yesterday now, they released hostages via the Red Cross is great. But it doesn’t change the fact they were lying earlier. They don’t need Israeli cooperation to release hostages as they’ve just demonstrated.
No, this proves I was right The entire time.
