Do sides have to be taken in a negotiation?

I would say yes. That's the whole point of a negotiation.

Should we grant:

  • A. Both sides be reasonable?
  • B. Only Israel should be reasonable?
  • C. Only Hamas should be reasonable?
  • D. None of the above.

I just don't understand why you're calling out only one party?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Because one party is demanding something the other party says it doesn't have.

Problem I think is why they don't have them now if they had them at some point.

Unless they never had them to begin with; having people and now no longer having them points to killing them which, surprise, hurts negotiation.

Who knows though, Israel might of taken them for innocent Palestinians and did it to themselves :(

Unless it wasn't Hamas who killed them.

The IDF didn't put a magical force field around the hostages as they bombed the shit out of Gaza.

The IDF has already admitted to "mistakenly" killing hostages that had been released- https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/16/israeli-hostages-mistakenly-killed-in-gaza-were-had-a-white-flag-official

And those were the ones they were caught killing or even were aware themselves that were killed. How many more were killed?

[-] Zomg@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I'm not ruling out Israel unknowingly killing their own (or even knowingly I guess) but I think regardless if an explanation (that's true) by either was possible, it'd be better.
