No More Israeli Hostages Left for Israel to Kill and Even Fewer to Liberate

Netanyahu now has only one objective left for his Gaza War: Destroy Hamas. The other objective, namely to rescue the hostages, is no more. The Israeli hostages seem to be all presumed dead. This makes sense because 

1- the Jewish bombing of Gaza that has killed upwards of 33,000 Palestinians must have randomly killed a significant fraction of the hostages held by Hamas.

2- Hamas appears to be running out of hostages to trade.

Which means that Netanyahu has failed monumentally in achieving his two objectives in Gaza, not to mention his other blunders:

Haiving hiddern its violent colonialist nature under the cover of being a "victim" of the European Holocaust, Israel is now seen by the rest of the world as a rogue Fascist colonial state intent on finishing off the indigenous Palestinian people it first ethnically cleansed in 1948. Just look at the map of the artificial "state" of Israel, and you'll see that the map traces the invasive nature of the illegal Jewish migration into Palestine. If you exclude the Negev desert, most of what constitutes Israel is a west-to-east trajectory from the sea into the the Palestinian interior - something you'd expect from a foreign invader stealing land and pushing the native Palestinians further inland. That west-to-east trajectory narrows down gradually as it peaks in Jerusalem, again showing the artificiality of the land that makes up Israel. The "fatty" parts of Palestine remain in the two West Bank sectors, one north of Jerusalem and the other south of it. The Galilee was originally intended to be in the Palestinian part of the 1947 partition plan, but it was gobbled up by Israel to add some fat to their skinny piece of shit, and even there the Palestinians (the "1948 Palestinians" or "the Palestinians of the interior", as they are known) stayed and refused to flee before the Zionist terrorist invaders. This shows how easy it was for the Zionist terrorist organizations to secure a territory for their Israel. They took the easy parts, the flat lands leading from sea into the higher ground interior, and the Negev desert that is inhabited by bedouins.

On the Israeli prisoners held by Hamas, the latter has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli prisoners to release as part of a temporary cease-fire deal with Israel, a source familiar with the talks confirmed.

This raises questions over how many of the remaining prisoners taken on Oct. 7 are alive and who is holding them. Israel says 133 prisoners out of more than 240 seized that day — mostly Israelis and dual nationals — have yet to be released.

The Biden administration is pushing a plan to have Israel and Hamas agree to a six to eight week cease-fire that is contingent on Hamas releasing prisoners, a group that includes older men, civilians and both male and female Israeli soldiers who have been held for 187 days.

CNN reported on Hamas’s update to negotiators earlier Wednesday. Crime Minister Netanyahu's office told CNN that of the 129 hostages from Oct. 7, at least 33 are dead. CIA Director Bill Burns had reportedly proposed that Hamas agree to release 40 Israeli prisoners in exchange for Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners from its jails during a first phase of a deal.

President Biden, expressing rising frustration with Netanyahu over the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, has told the Israeli leader to “empower” his negotiators to reach a deal. Talks are ongoing in Cairo, with Egypt and Qatar serving as mediators.

Bassem Naeem, Hamas’s director of international relations, said that he had no information on the number of prisoners that Hamas is holding, but said that “the movement is preparing its response to the new proposal.” Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas in Gaza, is given the proposals through secret channels and then sends back a response, a procedure that is time-consuming and tedious. The timing for a response is believed to take a few days, Naeem said.

The U.S. wants to see a deal to allow for a scale up of humanitarian aid delivery in the Gaza Strip. Israel has been obstructing the entry of aid by delay tactics and over-the-top search procedures of trucks entering Gaza, thus further compounding the famine of the Palestinian population that is caged inside Gaza.

The US administration has increased its public criticism of Israel for failing to do enough to protect civilian life and the lives of humanitarian workers, but it is believed that this pressure is solely motivated by Biden's dwindling chances of winning the November election. Otherwise, Biden keeps sending loads of letahl weapons to Israel under the indefensible pretense of "self-defense".

Bottom line: Netanyahu's savagery in Gaza is not paying off in terms of rescuing his prisoners of eliminating Hamas. The only thiung he is gaining is the support of the extremist ultra-religious barbarians to perpetrate more violence and annex more Palestinian lands: i.e. more wars to come.
