All living hostages have been released as Donald Trump prepares to address Israel

[Maximum Overkill 2,343]

Trump is currently being lavished with extraordinary levels of praise in the Israeli Parliament.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him "the greatest friend that the State of Israel has ever had in the White House."

Speaker Amir Ohana has called him “not as another American president, but a giant of Jewish history.” He compared Trump to Cyrus the Great, the ancient Persian king said to have freed the Jewish from captivity in Babylon in 539 BCE.

We have to “look back two and a half millennia into the mists of time to find a parallel: Cyrus the Great,” Ohana said. “President Donald J. Trump, you are a colossus who will be enshrined in history thousands of years from now. Mr. President, the Jewish people will remember you.”

He added, “Your election to the presidency marked a turning point, not only for the United States, but for the entire world.”

So you wanted Biden to release them simply to nail Trump?

[The Real timschochet 7,281]

I don’t want to take anything away from President Trump (this really is a tremendous achievement) but comparisons to Cyrus are just a bit over the top. If Cyrus had freed 20 Jews only it wouldn’t have been exactly noteworthy.

The "victims" can file lawsuits. Let the courts decide what is real and what is simple liberal hysteria. 

I guess these "victims" weren't of any concern to the libtards when creepy Joe was in office.

Trump would’ve secured his spot on Mt. Rushmore if he found a way to exchange Peefoam for the hostages. 

Missed opportunity.

That was enough.

Even CNN was lauding this accomplishment.  How could you not?  Even anti-Trumpers have to tip their cap on this one.

For the same reason all of the other Jew errr.... Israel haters are silent.  It was never about ending the war or releasing the hostages.  It was about Israel being a genocidal apartheid evil regime holding the poor innocent Palestinians down!

What are you talking about, liar? Both me and the other Tim are probably who’d you consider to be the biggest “Jew haters,” and we both congratulated Trump on the deal.   I think RealTim even said he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.

@The Real timschochet has consistently complimented Trump on this deal, presuming it happens (a fair caveat).

You, however, I must have missed such posts.  I presume you can provide a link to some milquetoast congratulations to Trump?  TIA

Thanks for admitting you’re a liar.

Here was my congratulations to Trump.  Yes I did throw in a well-deserved shot at Israel.

When someone says they may have missed a posting of yours and asks for a link, it doesn't make them a "liar" if you provide one.  It means......wait for it......that they missed it just like they said in their post.  HTH.

Children have a problem with the definition of "lie."  Like if you say you plan to stop for ice cream after the game, but the game runs long and you no longer have time, they'll accuse you of lying!  Well no, we had every intention of stopping, but things changed.

Anyway, looking back at his post, is it any wonder that I missed a quick sentence that was immediately followed by a dig at Israel?  It's quite telling that he expects Israel to be the bad guy here, but states no such concern about the Hamas terror organization.  Moderate!

Plus his post is 10 days old.  I think this deal only came together seriously within the last 5 or 6 days.  I certainly wouldn't be looking 10 days back for a post congratulating Trump on a Hamas/Israel deal.  

[Ron_Artest 2,055]

You know a normal person would just say "Oh I'm sorry I missed that".

Good catch.  I looked back in the Gaza thread a few days until the point where the deal was reached, and saw nothing from him except stuff like DropDeadHamas doesn't like The Free Press.  Immediate kudos from Real Tim tho, to his credit.

I need to remember that Tim H is fairly young, so he was probably raised by a post-Edward Said "Orientalism" educational system that eschewed actual history to teach kids that Israel has always been the baddies in the Middle East.

That’s not why he admitted to being a liar.  He admitted to being a liar because he said he knew RealTim congratulated Trump, right after saying “all of the other Jew errr.... Israel haters are silent”

I’m sure you’ll say something stupid like “all” wasn’t meant to be taken literally or something, but there are what, like 3 or 4 “Israel haters” here?  Saying “all” while knowing that is not true about arguably the loudest one is a lie.

HTH.

TBH, when I typed that first post, I was referring to actual influential people in the real world, not posters on a lightly-trafficked FF website.  But you took it personally (which in itself is telling, methinks the jew-hater doth protest too much), so I went with it.  HTH

That’s interesting because I’ve said similar in the past and have been told something to the effect of “who cares what people are saying on social media, has anyone here said that?”

I’m curious though, what “Jew haters” in the real world do you follow?

I think that’s the first time I’ve been called “fairly young” in awhile.  I’m almost 40.  

I don’t recall much specific about Israel in my public school education, but I’m Jewish, remember?  At synagogue and Hebrew school we were taught that Israel has always been the victim, and maybe that was true in the past.  I never really thought much about Israel to be honest until October 7th, except regretting never taking the free propaganda trip there (my synagogue usually took kids that were in like 10th grade IIRC, but my class’s trip was cancelled due to a previous war or conflict).   

And obviously after 10/7 I supported Israel in responding.  But as time went on, seeing a lot of the verified stories that were out there, I eventually realized that Israel’s army isn’t nearly as “moral” as they claim.

You are closer in age to all 3 of my kids than you are to me.  You remind me of my middle daughter.  She's very smart and has all of the knowledge that Hasan Piker, a curated X feed, and the Chinese on TikTok can provide, but none of the wisdom of having lived through attempt after failed attempt to turn the Palestinians into anything but a group of barbaric, warring tribes.  With that lack of wisdom comes optimism that this time will be different, which is a definition of insanity, but who knows, maybe Trump can pull it off this time.  They are already battling each other again though it seems.

Your "verified stories" is funny.  Our entire discussion on this topic started with weeks or months of you providing videos of men running through the desert and Hamas Information Minister death numbers. (yeah yeah, somebody in the IDF blew up an ambulance, it's the same as Hamas!).  Oh, and some American sounding guy maybe shot someone, and a "journalist" was killed.  Meanwhile, Israel has fought Iran and Hezbollah along with Hamas, crushing Iran's defenses in a week, and pulling the greatest urban warfare victory against Hezbollah in terms of decisiveness and lack of civilian casualties.  It is clear that Israel viewed Hezbollah as a bigger threat, heck the reason they had the pager plan in place.

Meanwhile in Gaza, Israel could have turned the place into glass in a week, but instead have spent the past two years losing 1000 soldiers trying to uproot the vermin that are Hamas without such destruction.  They have been the nicest superior military in the history of war.  Is Putin as nice?  Didn't think so.  But unfortunately for Israel, while they could win militarily, they couldn't compete with the new Western Orientalism and Foucaultian moral relativism which proscribes the self-flagellation of its own society.

The ambulance was the very first example I provided, and it wasn’t just one person, the IDF also lied about it.

But you are correct, Israel is the superior military by far.  That’s why they don’t need our help.  And that’s why I repeatedly answered when you asked “bUt WhAt ShOuLd ThEy Do InStEaD?” that I don’t know, but the US should stop funding them.   If they want to turn Gaza to glass, as long as they’re not doing it with my money, go right ahead.  This of course is also the answer to people whatabouting to genocides in Nigeria or whatever, the reason more people care about Palestinians is because the US was complicit in the ethnic cleansing of them.  Thankfully Trump is trying to put a stop to that, because Qatar wasn’t happy, and neither were many conservatives that were souring on Israel.

Speaking of being silent, Israel does not allow Palestinians to celebrate the release of their prisoners.
