Hamas is playing a really interesting game of chicken with the world politics…
They either release the hostages or they don’t, giving them more media attention for every statement is just encouraging them
Hamas wants this war to continue, so they probably won’t release all hostages any time soon. They want an offensive of Israel in Gaza with as many Palestinian civil casualties as possible. This gets them more sympathy, support and in turn increases the global pressure and critique on Israel.
but Israel still bad, or did the meta changed?
No, Israel is not bad. The entire country is in shock after a devastating terror attack that killed thousands. They have a right to defend themselves. What can and should be criticized and questioned is the current government and how they act in Gaza. On the other side, any form of anti-semitism that hides as criticism should not be tolerated.
True but it is also very important not to flag any appropriate criticism directly as anti-semitism.
Yeah, that is also true.
