Debunked Hasbara “Release the hostages!!1”

Post image

Alright so, many Zionists are saying things along the lines of “there are so many ‘Free Palestine’ protests, why not we have some ‘free the hostages’ protests?” lemme give my response to this, first of all to this specific thing: The Pro-Palestine protests are because America is literally giving Isreal money to bomb children, so the protests are to get them to stop that. That is the goal of the protests. What would be the goal of a “free the hostages” protest? Israel is already trying to free the hostages. No government is giving Isreal money to not do so, or something like that. So this kind of claim really makes no sense…

Second, if you really wanted the hostages to be freed, then you would support a ceasefire, as that is the time when most hostages were released.

Third, Hamas offered to free all hostages if Israel doesn’t enter Gaza. Israel refused.

Finally, i just have to ask, why are the 200-ish hostages, more important than the over 40,000 innocent Palestinians brutally murdered by Israel? Or the hostages that ISRAEL has, which is more than the hostages Hamas has - why is nobody asking to release THESE hostages, hm?

Yep and 4000 of those are kids.

u/FreezingP0int Sep 17 '24

You’re right. Almost half of Gaza’s population is children, so it’s likely that a large amount of the Israel-held hostages are kids.

Curious, do you have age ranges for those kids? I'd like to keep this one in my mental repository

u/FreezingP0int Sep 17 '24

I personally, don’t have age ranges for the hostages. But I can give you age ranges for Gaza’s population

Israel "released" its own hostages by killing them.

Hasn't been about "the hostages" for about 10 months. Israel has rejected every peaceful way to get its hostages returned.

not true. They did get a bunch back during the December(?) exchange. Which just underlines that this is genocide and not about the hostages at all

u/AcanthisittaMobile72 Free Palestine Sep 17 '24

to rub salt to the genocide, some of the released hostages join the terrorist pissrahell to continue massacring Palestinian children

u/atropinexxz Free Palestine Sep 17 '24

yes, many of the hostages taken by al-Qassam were IOF "soldiers"

u/Kawfene1 Sep 17 '24

True. The first (and I guess, only) round of hostage swaps was successful. But way too bitter a pill for Israel to swallow more than once.

Israel and Hasbara trolls say they want their hostages released -- as Israel indiscriminately bombs Gaza, shoots civilians, runs over and bombs tents. Who knows how many of their beloved hostages are buried in rubble.

u/UBC145 Sep 17 '24

I’m convinced that almost all of the hostage deaths were either directly or indirectly caused by Israel.

Zionist claim they want to save the hostages as they beat family members of the hostages who demand a cease fire.

i wonder how many palestinians released in hostage deals have been re-captured in the past 30 years alone and compare that with israelis captured

But as everyone knows one Hamas hostage equals one billion hostages so that's actually 111 billion hostages.

u/AliX5gaming Sep 17 '24

remember that the ones held in Gaza are well fed, while the ones in Israel can barely eat, get beaten and raped
