Touching the side of his neck gingerly, 30-year-old Withawat Kunwong reveals a jagged network of scars he received after being attacked at a poultry farm where he had been working in southern Israel.

The Thai government has called for the release of all remaining citizens being held in Gaza. So far at least 33 Thai nationals have been killed, according to figures shared by Thai authorities with CNN – with 18 Thai nationals still being held hostage as of October 26.

    Hamas could achieve a cease-fire right now by releasing the hostages. But then they would have to account for the ones they have already murdered.

        Actually I don’t see one downvote to the comment. But I am a Kbin user so it is always a bit different here.

        Just one question: You are usually not able to see who favorited or reduced a comment/article on Lemmy? On kbin you get all those infos.

        If Hamas releases every single hostage they have, they cannot prove they have no more hostages. So the situation would not change.

        There is no de-escalation from the current positions, there is going to be an invasion, and Hamas is going to be destroyed, at least as it exist today.

        I did. There’s no fucking way this all stops if Hamas just releases the hostages. This is a completely delusional statement.

      Hamas will only release the hostages in exchange for all Palestinians in Israeli jails

          It’s just tiring at this point. Even if you have lived there, aren’t a zionist, family been there for 500+ years, and try to cut through all the bullshit to explain the context no one cares. It’s just politically extremist tribalism which is exactly what caused the issue we are discussing.

          There’s also a lot of censorship going on and it’s a bit sick since the posts and comments I’ve seen censored often include Palestinians talking about the situation. largely ones from Hamas, some who left. It doesn’t fit whatever whoever is doing the removing wants on the front page I guess.

      I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Hamas has already tried that path, but Israel is out for blood. Netenyahu’s position is that the incursion should proceed even though it’ll kill hostages.
