It has absolutely no relevance to todays news of a failed raid by the IDS to recover hostages.
People connecting the two incidents are exploiting the dead hostages for political point scoring and it is sickening.
// Israel recovered the bodies of six hostages from a tunnel in southern Gaza where they were apparently killed not long before Israeli troops reached them, the military said on Sunday. //
The Israeli military blamed their deaths on Hamas.
You may remember the IDF recovered 3 dead hostages last December 2023, the hostages, who were trying to be rescued, were visibly unarmed and shirtless and waving a makeshift white flag when they were killed by the IDF in a botched operation. The incident provoked criticism of the IDF and of the government's attempts to resolve the hostage crisis with military action within Israel and condemnation of Israeli military action in Gaza from abroad. The IDF stated the killings were preventable, but disciplinary actions were not needed since there was "no malice" on the part of the soldiers. So tough shīt hostages.
Gromit; //The incident when Corbyn referred to a Hamas representative as 'our friend' was 15 years ago.//
Exactly, and when hamas at that time was carrying out brutal attacks against Israel and had been doing so for many years, Corbyn & his Labour cohort well knew it.
Hamas carried out its first attack against Israel in 1989, abducting and killing two soldiers.
