What an empty offer. You have no value compared to the hostages. Hamas hates the hostages. They might hate this man too, but not in their blood the way they hate the people who have been killing them and their families. There’s no shot at this being accepted.
Hang on, I can get free press coverage, too. I AM WILLING TO BE EXCHANGED WITH THE HOSTAGES. I’M A GOOD PERSON. LOOK HOW SELFLESS I AM. WHY WON’T THEY MAKE THE EXCHANGE? I OFFERED, SO I MUST BE AWESOME.
Fuck this uncritical news media.
Catholic ≠ always bad He is ready to give his life
I mean, you’re the one sharing the news lmao.
If he’s really ready to go through with it, it’s not an empty offer?
And he’s willing to exchange places with the knowledge that it may result in his death. That’s more than the majority of people in this community would likely do.
But it is so NICE to be angry from my gaming chair at this person that I fundamentally dislike without knowing them!!!

VATICAN CITY, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Pope Francis’ representative in the Holy Land said on Monday he was willing to exchange himself for Israeli children taken hostage by Hamas and held in Gaza.
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, made his comment in response to a question during a video conference with journalists in Italy.
He stressed, however, that he and his office had not yet had any direct contact with Hamas, the militant Islamist group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,300 people.
Diplomatic efforts have been intensifying to get aid into Gaza as Israel prepares a ground invasion to destroy Hamas.
Pizzaballa said that about 1,000 Christians were sheltering in Church buildings in northern Gaza after their homes were destroyed in Israeli strikes.
Israel has urged exhausted Gazans to evacuate to the south, which hundreds of thousands have already done in the enclave that is home to more than 2 million people.

The criticism of this news is needlessly toxic. Maybe Hamas won’t accept the offer, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a genuine attempt to save some children’s lives.
