When is a Ceasefire not a Ceasefire

Which would be more troubling about the fucking useless sociopathic monsters running the show - that they are stupid or that they are evil?

Apparently there’s been negotiations on a new round of hostage releases and prisoner exchange. Currently the sticking point is that Hamas wants a full ceasefire and an end to hostilities. Israel is only willing to accept a 35 day long break in their active genocide campaign. 

The true brilliant brain genius that is Jake Sullivan has said that the ball is now in Hamas’ court - basically pretending like there’s a real ceasefire deal but it is being stymied by Hamas. This is bullshit. To be clear - Hamas is a terrorist organization. They are terrible. But this story that is being crafted? Just pure fucking nonsense. 

The real sticking point is that Israel and the US will not agree to a ceasefire because this would be a failure for them. From almost two decades before October 7, the stated goal is to eradicate Hamas. They need to be completely destroyed. The US is on record as saying that there can be no Hamas in post-wat Gaza. And really, Hamas is a terrorist organization - so of course this is the official position. 

And yet. Evil enough that they must be eradicated no matter the cost in civilian lives (even genocide is on the table) - but not evil enough that you can negotiate with them. It’s like they are trying to find more outlandish ways to tell us they think we’re morons that will believe anything. 

Furthermore - what kind of stupid fucking “bargaining” position is this? “Look, we can give you some pause in the bombing - but the total eradication of your group is non-negotiable for us. Is there some consolation prize we can offer instead?

Really? Hamas isn’t biting on such a wonderfully generous deal? /eyeroll

Just the stupidest fucking morons that ever ate paste are these assholes. Just so fucking stupid.
