Normally in a hostage situation the moral opprobrium attaches to the side that abducted the innocent people not the side that was reluctant to pay a high enough ransom. Remind me what you did to liberate James Foley, Kayla Mueller, Steven Sotloff, Peter Kassig, Otto Warmbier...
Hamza is of course right, but he's also overly generous about the western "pro-Palestine" movement. What animates that movement is a fantasy of Jewish evil, not a disproportionate concern for one unfortunate Arab nation over a few others.
Hamas has once again rejected a ceasefire that would save Palestinian lives. Their leadership, sitting comfortably in Qatar and Turkey, continues to sacrifice Gaza's children for their own political agenda. Every day they refuse this deal, more Palestinians die. To the…

Started and remained. Equally true of the "human rights" and "international law" campaigns against Israel, which are force multipliers for the Einsatzgruppen who invaded Israel on October 7 and whose efforts are all aimed at protecting Hamas and its allies from military defeat.

I’m not shocked a terrorist leader is a moral monster. The position he expresses here is fundamentally identical to that of a whole ecosystem of "humanitarians,” scholars, and activists. And that monstrosity is, to me at least, still shocking.
Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad, head of the negotiation file, declared: “Even if Israel killed 20,000 or another 100,000; this is a strong card we have on our hands.” This vile, cold-blooded mindset reduces our people’s lives to mere leverage. It’s not just inhumane—it’s monstrous.

In a nutshell the international community is incentivizing Hamas‘ human shield strategy
Many tyrannical regimes have been indifferent to civilian casualties on their own side. Those who consider attacking Israel face an incentive structure, applied only to them, which encourages them to pursue civilian losses as the only viable means of winning the wars they start.
This is the moment corbynization replaces corbynisation as the correct spelling.
