So the US negotiated away live hostages to dead hostages without even letting Israel know?

This is outright negotiating/moderating in bad faith and makes it almost seem like the US is siding with Hamas in the negotiations.

Almost?

They still consider Israel an ally, but at the same time their interest of ending the war asap is aligned with Hamas.

I hope the Israeli negotiators find the right words to call out their American counterparts on such shenanigans.

It's pretty clear the US wants the war over and will not be concerned with the hostages fate. There is not really another answer to their actions.
Almost?

The saddest part is that this shouldn't be satire.

Technically not a fair comparison, you can’t compare NGO civilians to uniformed soldiers, at least on paper…

“One of the most distressing aspects of current affairs is that Hamas is being treated by the US and other powers as a legitimate negotiating partner whose proposals and viewpoints should be taken seriously and who should also receive concessions.  They are publicly treated without disdain - unlike Israel.

This is a thoroughly evil, murderous extremist terror organization holding children, women and old men -kidnapped from a neighboring country- hostage in dungeons.

What if on September 11 Al Qaeda had also taken hundreds of Americans hostage? 

The terrible conclusion: at least as far as Israel is concerned, terror works and is legitimate.  The US and other powers will abide it.  And there is no negative consequence for hosting a terror organization, rather glory and rewards”

I wouldn’t go that far.

1 reason I heard that sounds reasonable is if you attack all cities at once then where are you evacuating everyone to ?
Absolute nonsense. There are humanitarian corridors that are protected. FWIW the view expressed earlier is the consensus amongst Israelis. other than “US ambassador” Yair Lapid.

Read the linked posts. Actually hilarious besides that this sort of corruption is perfectly acceptable as long as they can target Israel.

The Foreign Ministry is investigating reports that a Jewish businessman Ziv Kiefer has been murdered in Egypt.

The businessman has Israeli, Canadian, and Russian citizenship.
He was murdered by a newly formed terrorist organization out of Egypt (named after an Egyptian policeman who murdered 3 Israeli soldiers)
