Israeli hostage families protest as Netanyahu addresses US Congress

"I wish you would start your speech with the sentence: 'We have a signed deal.'"
Hundreds of Israelis have taken to the streets in Tel Aviv, demanding a deal to release hostages as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the US Congress on Wednesday.

Netanyahu criticised demonstrators advocating for a Gaza ceasefire, calling them "Iran's useful idiots," while addressing the US Congress where several lawmakers chose to either boycott or skip his speech.

Washington has grown increasingly concerned about the humanitarian impact of Israel's nine-month war on Gaza. Protests in both Israel and the US have intensified pressure on Netanyahu to bring the war to an end.

It's never been about the hostages really...

[ikkileo]

They didn't even mention the genocide he's committing in their families name

[Moral-integrity]

They would have never known how cruel their government is if their people were not in Gaza. You cried 292 days, Gazan cried for 76 years and 18, 000 of their people mostly children are in Israel prison. Narcisist only care about themselves, everyone else is less worthy. They have created a generation of narc

So is Pigtanyahu saying that, the families of hostages are Iran? Hamas offered the hostages. So why did Pigtanyahu reject them?

"Becoming a murderer?" They didn't know he's been one since the 90's and he's their PM for the 400th time?

I hope they get their families back and when they do, they learn to change the horrific policies of their own country.

The difference...
Israeli talk with a scripted print out paper speech.

While if you interview Palestinians in Gaza, they talk from their heart, no paper, no drama.

[favourbridgette]

0:15 "Kidnapped by Hamas", reads his shirt.

The hostages were kidnapped by a Hamas plan, but Israel knew of "Jericho Wall" for a year before the date. Warnings from the sentries about activity mirroring the plan were dismissed/ignored or unsent before the assault; when "Jericho Wall" began, the Hannibal Directive was ordered to prevent Hamas from obtaining hostages.

Bezalel Smotrich later made comments writing off the "Jericho Wall" hostages as "less important than victory"* and saying there are "2-million Nazis"** in Gaza -- failing to mention the hostages in the latter.
* February 2024
** April 2024

The Palestinians in Gaza are being starved and bombed, purportedly so that the hostages being held in Gaza will be returned safely.
