    You know who doesn’t think it’s insane? The families of the the hostages who I quote directly underneath that who say that it has the support of all of Israel. Are you calling them liars? Are you disparaging them and saying they’re insane? This is the opposite of diplomacy, as you say.

      Yeah I think someone whose family member is fucking kidnapped is not thinking rationally. Of course they will support literally anything to get their kidnapped relative back

          Again acknowledging reality is not endorsing any specific view.

          When someone you love is a victim of a tragedy you will understand that you are not, in fact, the rational robot you think you are.

              Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received sharp criticism after he accused security chiefs in a now-deleted social media post of failing to warn him about the impending Hamas attack prior to October 7.

              First sentence of your article suggests that he regrets such a post. So… Yeah.

                And… you fumbled the context and who it is speaking in the quote. Care a little more. Its good for diplomacy.

                  The point is why he endorsed, and his mental state.

                  Try to keep up

                    There’s no point keeping up with a dog chasing it’s tail in circles. I’ll leave you to it kiddo.
