Bring them home now!
Ari Rosenstein asks a good question:
I would extend the question a bit and suggest that considering the UN resolution just passed, Israel should cut off the current negotiations for a ceasefire deal with the exchange of 40 Israeli hostages for the proposed 700 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Why should there be an exchange of anything to get the hostages back and to obtain a ceasefire if both sides must adhere to a ceasefire and hostage return anyway?

Everyone is yelling at the US but I'm hoping this is a brilliant move
ReplyDelete1) Biden gets to tell Michigan "See, I didn't vote the ceasefire resolution!"
2) Israel was about to agree to release 700 terrorists, many of them Jew killers for 40 hostages. Not all the hostages, just 40. With the passage of this resolution, it's Israel that can walk away from the negotiations saying "The UN says you have to let them all go right now"
3) Because the two conditions are intertwined, until Hamas announces a time and place for the hostage release, Israel can continue to act as it wants because its stopping is dependent on that.
"and also" doesn't sound explicitly "intertwined". That's the danger here. The left (AOC) is already saying that Israel would probably continue its military action (if left unrestrained) even if Hamas releases all the hostages. It's a 'win' for haters of Israel precisely because the two sides are (unfairly) treated independent. It implies Israel's war is not justified by Hamas' 10/7 actions. UNSC has yet to condemn 10/7. It's a pretty minor win (and a major net loss on PR) if all it gains is a technicality.
