    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Seeing reports of an Israeli proposal to extend the ceasefire more days provided at least 10 hostages are released a day.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            Would be natural to see Hamas counter-propose a smaller number. Imagine the political pressure that could place on the Israeli government.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              Hamas replies:

              “The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas seeks to extend the truce after the 4-day period ends, through serious efforts to increase the number of those released from imprisonment as stipulated in the humanitarian cease-fire agreement,” the group said in a statement.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                  Bleak. Happy of course about the hostage release but still very post trauma and still understanding that there is still a lot of fighting ahead.

                  In other news, Elon Musk dropped in for a visit.

                    And he said that Hamas must be eliminated.

                      Wasn't there a "cease-fire" on October 6?

                          Keep in mind we are talking about Hostages (Hamas) vs Prisoners (Israel). This isn't exactly a hostage swap or prisoner swap. Aka... An innocent Israeli girl in exchange for an (accused) rapist or murderer, is not exactly a swap.

                                Why does Israel do this? What's in it for them, given the horrible optics?

                                      Ok between Zalensky and now Israeli leaders getting the appellation, we can safely say “Nazi” now means “someone I really don’t like”.
