They Said The Massacres Would Stop When The Hostages Were Released. They Haven't Stopped
from JOHNSTONE · host Caitlin Johnstone and Tim Foley
Last year I banged out an angry rant about the way Israel supporters would yell "release the hostages!" at anyone who talked about the latest massacre of Palestinian civilians, saying Hamas was to blame for the killing because of their refusal to release the Israeli captives, and that it would all stop once the hostages are free. I'm remembering that essay today because the hostages are free, but the massacres are continuing. Reading by Tim Foley.
