For some time now, I've been thinking that tolerance vs intolerance might be circular, like a clock. If 12:00 is intolerance, then as you go around the clock becoming more and more tolerant, you slowly approach that 12:00 mark again. When you become so tolerant that you tolerate evil in all forms, you're back at 12:00.

There's gotta be a way to depict this better on a graphic, but that's not my thing.

Not the entire world, and not every humanitarian group. But some of the biggest like the UN/UNRWA, WHO, and others most definitely are.

Most of those are the conduits/consumers of the funding, we all agree that those Gaza NGOs collaborate with Hamas. When I talk about investors I mean US/EU etc.

The world will continue to be hypocritical and cynical no matter what the Israelis do.

For me, the craziest part was how she didn't respond at all, just moved on to the next inane question.

TBH, given what we know about Hamas (they don't care about the well-being of the civilian population) and with everything being said by the Israelis (that they will resume military operations once the deal is concluded, and that their goal is to eliminate Hamas), what reason to enter this deal does Hamas have?

Under "normal" circumstances getting prisoners released (especially in disproportionate numbers) along with a ceasefire by the Israelis would be seen as a win for them, which they can "bring back" to their people. But here they are getting very little (at best, a temporary delay in Gazans being totally fed up with them) and are being promised that military operations to destroy them will resume.

What's in it for them?

if Eylon would have some guts, he should publicize an official statement stating that he (and all other Israeli spokesmen) will not be conducting any interviews until that mamzeres publicly apologizes for that outrageous question.
Doing so will alao make a statement for future such stupid questions from other channels.

When he started responding, I expected him to be saying, "that is an astonishingly stupid question!"

I think the only response to a question like that is mockery - do you really think we're releasing criminals and terrorists as a calculated insult?
