OPTICS ILLUSIONs

Ok, let’s examine where the scales of life and death sit today, 11-15-23 am.

50 hostages vs release of untold imprisoned women and kids (how young does Israel incarcerate anyway?)

Plus the bonus of a three day catch your breath PAUSE, (no longer valid to call it ‘humanitarian’ since the IDF proved you don’t need a quid pro quo to behave humanely) so Hamas can refresh at a long weekend barbecue (Sorry, too soon?)?

No list of all hostage names (so there’s no BBC-like misreading, I won’t say “list released”). Every negotiation requires proof of life; I watch movies too. Is the hesitation excusable because Hamas doesn’t know the names of all the Hostages? Since, of course, they can’t ask the dead ones. And they can’t cross- reference posters that are continually getting pulled off Lampposts. Tell you what, we’ll accept a video of every hostage. Timestamp it. Even show us the faces of the corpses, so families can start getting closure. Is that an inhumane negotiating demand?

(side thought: Now that she’s successfully concluded negotiations with Hollywood, why don’t we send Fran Drescher to fight our fight?)

Do you think the progress on these negotiations has something to do with Biden‘s release of $10 billion of seized Iranian assets yesterday?

Does the released billions also have something to do with the Ayatollah’s announcement this morning that he ain’t coming to Hamas’ defense? Or is that because his scientists are running behind on his development of nukes schedule?

Would you take that announcement to the Bidennomics bank, or wipe yourself with the paper It isn’t written on?

Wouldn’t the $10 billion have been better spent on rebuilding Gaza?

Just wondering.
