  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

JERUSALEM, Israel – After months of negotiations, it appears Hamas might finally be willing to accept a hostage-release deal in exchange for a ceasefire. The announcement comes at the last minute as Israel was preparing to finally launch a Rafah incursion to wipe out the Hamas terrorist forces taking refuge there.

The announcement was announced as Israelis were marking Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The previous negotiations had only included a small number of the remaining hostages held by the terrorists in Gaza. There was no immediate comment from Israel on the deal, and details of the proposal have not yet been released. Hamas had been insisting on two key demands. One, the end of the war, and two, that Israel completely pulls out of the Gaza Strip. Both were non-starters for Israel.

Once the hostages are released we (all) will see how honorable Israel is.

We also need to see how honorable Hamas will be in the future. From looking at history I don't think Hamas will not be able to stop launching missiles into Israel.

Uuuh, looks like Hamas actually cares abaut Rafah. Can't wait to see why.
Don't get your hopes up. Hamas has had weeks to prepare for Israel's incursion into Rafah and has already relocated most of its fighters to Khan Yunis and other parts of Gaza, where the IDF has already withdrawn. The IDF can level Rafah as it has other parts of Gaza, but Hamas will emerge with a minimal amount of loss outside of any infrastructure and tunnels that might be destroyed. As usual, it will be the innocent that will suffer the most from the IDF's assault. Unfortunately, neither Hamas nor the IDF seem to care about that.
