Thanks to President Bidenโ€™s leadership, a deal has been struck between Israel and Hamas to release more than 50 hostages that Hamas has been holding. This deal will also allow for a pause in the fighting and a much-needed surge of humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza.

Besides the constant incitement to genocide, which is creepy enough, the other takeaway f/ IDF pre "game" party/music aesthetic is that it's super lame & awkward, which makes it all the more creepier & cringe. Also, they steal Arabic music styles & fuck em up. Just like w/ food.

These are the Palestinian โ€œprisonersโ€ being exchanged for Israeli hostages. They are also children. Children who were stolen from their homes. Children who just want to hug their mothers. These are the boys who the media wonโ€™t even afford the dignity of being called children.
