    Okay. Because you didn’t indicate any of my logic was incorrect. Do we both agree Hamas is lying about their intention to release two hostages with no strings attached? The demonstration of the lie is the fact that they haven’t done it.

    Everything you said about the intent of Israel may or may not be true, but that’s not the subject here. This whole post is about Hamas lying about wanting to release hostages. It has nothing to do with Israel.

      No, we don’t agree. For me it’s inconclusive.

      I don’t see how this is more about Hamas and less about Israel, so maybe we aren’t discussing stuff on the same level.

        The post, and the news article it references, are about Hamas saying they want to release two people. We’ve discussed multiple ways they could release two people without interference by Israel. Israel not cooperating with Hamas may or may not be true. But it’s a non sequiter. If I told you I wanted to pay my rent, but President Shanmugaratnam wouldn’t agree with me on my plan to pay rent, you would rightly think that’s nonsense, it’s a non sequitur, the president of Singapore has nothing to do with me paying rent. Israel has nothing to do with Hamas releasing hostages to the Red Cross, or the UN, or to Egypt. These are independent things.
