Ahead of the meeting, Hamas is vigorously rejecting Israel’s allegations that Palestinian forces in Gaza are abusing Israeli captives by depriving them of food. “For the Israeli prisoners held by the resistance in Gaza, they are experiencing the same conditions as the people of Gaza,” Hamas officials wrote in an August 4 letter to the council obtained by Drop Site. “The famine—caused by the occupation regime—affects all areas of the Strip, and inevitably its effects are reflected upon the ‘Israeli’ captives, just as they are reflected upon their captors, their families, and the overwhelming majority of Gaza’s population.”

    You know in a few decades everyone’s going to agree the current Israeli government are no better than Nazis. It’s frustrating that too many powerful people are still holding out while it’s not too late to do something about it.

      I just hope in a few decades everyone still agrees that Nazis are actually the bad guys.
