What are your thoughts when you see the way the hostages were freed from Gaza?
Am I a bad person for finding the official Hamas gift bags for the freed hostages hilarious? I know what the hostages went through was absolutely horrific, and I’m genuinely relieved they’re free, but the idea of their captors handing them branded goodie bags afterward is absurd. The fact that the bags were stamped with Hamas’s seal to look serious and official, and apparently filled with commemorative items of their nightmarish experience as if they’re leaving a summer camp, is so funny to me.

If Hamas released the hostages today, Israel would be pressured to stop the war entirely
Hamas holds both Israeli hostages and the entirety of Gaza hostage. They have an interest prolonging this war for their own political survival and to increase the international pressure on Israel - they have the power to end this war today if they release all of the hostages. I don't understand how some pro-Palestine activists can even look themselves in the mirror without realizing how hypocritical they look when they supposedly work for a ceasefire while actively giving hand to this madness. Hamas are using the wider pro-Palestinian movement as massive motivation to continue prolonging the war by rebuilding their manpower through child soldiers with lesser training, making money through their monopolies on the black markets and by selling the FREE aid donated by the world. The fact that the wider activist community doesn't see how they're playing into this injustice like crazy is baffling, and it's even more depressing knowing that they're completely clueless to these facts.

What's the deal with Hamas' show during the hostages release?
If you look at heavily pro-Palestinian subreddits, you will see that their strategies are working. People see them smile and wave and actually believe that the hostages had a great time in captivity, and any attempt to say otherwise is "Israeli propaganda". More on reddit.com

Nov. 8: At Hostages Square, recently freed captives declare 'it’s time to save everyone left behind' | The Times of Israel
November 9, 2025 - “The families of the hostages and the returned are embracing the family of Lior Rudaeff at this time, as their beloved Lior of blessed memory was returned to Israel today for proper burial,” the forum says in a statement. “Alongside the grief and the understanding that their hearts will never be whole, Lior’s return provides some measure of comfort to a family that has lived with agonizing uncertainty and doubt for over two years,” the statement says.
