NYC protesters demand Israeli cease-fire, at least 200 detained after filling Grand Central station
Hundreds of protesters have filled the main concourse of New York City’s famed Grand Central Terminal to demand a cease-fire as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's interesting how everyone just forgot about 200 hostages, still held by Hamas, including US citizens by the way.
I'd like to know what those protesters would say to the families of the hostages.
The only party ignoring and abandoning the hostages and foreign nationals stuck in Gaza (whom you conveniently do not mention) is Israel.
Hamas would definitely be willing to give back hostages in exchange for concessions. And they also were willing to let foreign nationals leave, but Israel blocked the border, leading to the death of at least one of my countrywomen.
But Israel is blinded by rage and opporunism, so it prioritizes stealing land in the West Bank above freeing hostages.
So you response is to give Hamas what they want everytime they take hostages?
Hamas wants Israel to stop indiscriminately bombing civilians in Gaza in exchange... Sounds perfectly reasonable to me idk
that's why they started this conflict by indiscriminately firing rockets into Israel?
Well with Islam that’s never going to happen
So you think if we all ask nicely, terrorists just let hostages free. Did I understand your point correctly?
Ah yes, just turn my comment into a strawman. Sorry, not going to feed the trolls.
It honestly amazes me how Lemmy's leftists support far-right terrorist organizations.
I am not a leftist, just a centrist humanist.
You're just an apartheid fanboy.
how are they an "apartheid fanboy"?
Your usage of the word "terrorists" is misdirected. The real terrorists are the Israel Nazis that are Pro apartheid and have been blanket bombing innocent civilians for over two weeks (in the case if the current situation). Over 7000 dead, almost half of them children. Displacing millions, rounding millions up to a safe area and then bombing them. Disgusting.
Makes more sense to call the Muslims that have been trying to genocide the Jews in Isreal the past 60 years Nazis.
Don’t want bombed? Don’t align yourself with terrorists while trying to genocide your neighbor.
I would guess that a ceasefire increases the probability that the hostages stay alive.
Ceasefire increases the probability of Hezbollah attacking Israel and trying to reproduce Hamas' successful operation.
'You don't get it. Israel NEEDS to bomb thousands of children because otherwise they will be attacked 🥺'
Where do you come up with this bullshit? What corner of the web has even the slightest bit of evidence to support such a wild theory?
I don't see anyone holding up signs celebrating those hostages. Hostages who Israel also refused to take back. And it's funny how nobody is talking about thousands of Palestinians who have been taken and jailed by Israel on bullshit charges.
Nobody is celebrating the hostages. It's just an emotional abuse card people pull up when Israel's genocidal tactics get pointed out. And then we suddenly feel bad for hostages. Thousands of dispalced, kidnapped and killed people on Palestinian side don't get the same treatment.
I don’t see anyone holding up signs celebrating those hostages.
Just before Israel's response, people were cheering for Hamas and the killing of hostages they took during the raids. That's not an opinion, by the way, it's a sad fact. Situation in Gaza is complicated.
proof please
Sure. Here are three articles covering this, from three random cities across the world.

You can find more examples on your own, or join one of the rallies and find out yourself what they're chanting.
Can you find me anything that's not Iran? or a clearly propaganda piece by a known Israeli stooge? no one in the US was cheering hamas and there's no evidence in any of your links that points to humans celebrating hamas.

Are you saying all three of these sources are biased and bought by the Israeli? I would believe you if you accused one source, but all three? Have you considered that perhaps it's you who is biased?

The articles and online footage shows otherwise.
Eat more propaganda.
No, thanks, I'm good. I like to keep my news diet diverse, not relying on just one source of information.
a balanced diet is a healthy diet!
How is Israel razing Gaza to the ground going to bring back those hostages?
