WHAT THE HELL DID WE DO?

And by “We”, I mean whoever it is that’s running our country now, since it’s become impossible to know who is actually in charge, but this could only happen because of our promises and threats. Mostly threats.

After promising, SWEARING, that there would be no cease-fire with Hamas until all the hostages were returned and Hamas had either surrendered or been wiped out, Israels leaders have done a complete reversal and agreed to not just one but a string of 4 or 5 day cease-fires under the worst possible terms.

Only 10 hostages will be released each day, for five days, or it might be 50 over 4 days, reports differ. Israel agrees to release 150 Palestinians, I assume that would be spread out over the 4 or 5 days as well, but that information wasn’t released. Meanwhile, at least??? 200 (This isn’t an exact number?) freight truck loads PER DAY of supplies will be allowed into Gaza, meaning Hamas, and they will have all new weapons, probably much better ones, to kill far more Israelis than are saved in any hostage release. I don’t care how much they say the cargoes will be inspected.

The families of the hostages that get released will be happy. The remaining millions of Israelis are no doubt already outraged. What the hell did we threaten them with that would convince Israels leaders to throw away their careers and endanger their nation so badly at this crucial time?
