Trumps Hostage Ultimatum to Hamas

[flogger]

Trump has given Hamas a very clear message about the immediate release of hostages or there will be hell to pay. Some sources said Hamas will do no such thing and claim it will undermine talks with Israel.

Watching the videos of Hamas fighters when they released hostages or handed over coffins not long ago, they put on quite a show with the little stage and banners and flags waving. All the time, the coward thugs have thier faces covered. I wonder what the next step will be. Would/will Congress approve military action? I'm guessing something is already in the works. I feel for the 'innocent' Palestinians. Many have lost everything in the past year, and I think it's going to get worse.

I seriously hope Hamas realizes they are on thin ice and does the right thing.

Average Gazan IQ is 80... below 75 is deemed "retarded."

They begin teaching their children to martyr themselves in the name of Jihad at the age of 5, begin paramilitary training at the age of 8, and make teenaged boys memorize the Koran... that is pretty much the extent of what they teach in their schools.

No other Arabic state will accept their refugees.

They demand dozens of imprisoned terrorists in exchange for every hostage.

Honestly, Israel should've dropped thermobarics on Gaza followed by VX. There are no innocent civilians there.

So what do you think he's going to do? Send the B52s to carpet bomb Gaza and everyone there?

I remember as a kid using the catchphrase “we must exterminate before they procreate”, which I’d throw out whenever someone would say something stupid. Seemed about as fitting a place to share that randomness, as ever.

I have a feeling that Trump is going to give Israel the firepower and ok to make Gaza vanish from the map.

Now Hamas threatened to execute all remaining hostages if Israel keeps bombing them.

Of course, they have no intention of ever stopping firing their rockets though.

Trump won't use the US military.

Voters have made it clear they are tired of US involvement in foreign wars and the President is very sensitive to his public image.

He will act aggressively enough to get concessions from both sides and hope the fighting stops so he can get his second Nobel Peace Prize. Or will it be his third... I have lost count of all the winning.

If they kill the hostages, then Gaza will certainly be erased from the map. And, other places that support their bullshit. Grab the popcorn....... This could get interesting.

Trump is kind of like the guy that talks about how awesome he is as a group project or task is beginning and brags about all the work he's going to do.. then he f'ing disappears with nary a peep, only to reappear at the project completion, grab the award from everyone and gives a big speech on how he did all the work.

He isn't doing shit but taking credit if the resolution is favorable, or laying blame if it isn't.

Cut off military aid to Isreal.

I have had the belief that if you leave the country, for whatever reason, you should not have the expectation of protections of the US. You venture into a hostile to Americans place, it on you if you are injured, captured or killed. It is not the government's responsibility to rescue or negotiate your release. Simply don't visit hostile areas.

100% agree, I will add, do not spend another dime of my tax dollars on any other country?
