Gaza: Three Prisoners Released

The Gaza prisoners looked good. And Hamas played the day for all it was worth. The three prisoners received a certificate of completion (?) and what looked like a dry cleaner’s bag with their clothes inside; perhaps from when they were captured, and then professionally cleaned.

Going forward, Hasbara are saying that there will be no phase 2 of the Gaza cease fire, after today’s release. If so, that’s going to be tricky for the US leadership to play as mediator. Not putting on airs, just a hunch that Netanyahu / Yehudit Kahanists are none too happy about the staging of these prisoner releases. After all, seems as if Israel is being mocked and the devil hates being mocked. Not a good look for Trump either, since he demanded that all prisoners must be released now — not just in ‘dribs and drabs’ later on.

Incidentally, not many Israeli’s in the CNN chat feed, at least that I saw. Most pro-Israel chat seemed to be from sayanim and sympathizers, from outside of Israel. But Israeli’s who participated seemed very concerned about the image of Israel going forward, and even more concerned that Palestinians will not leave Gaza as Trump has promised.

Interestingly, Trump’s ‘war crime’ statements about owning Gaza have apparently confused pro-Israel commentators, just as Trump’s comments about the US owning Gaza seem to have surprised Netanyahu when he was in the US at the time.

Perhaps what Trump is doing, is to use a concept called “disruption theory” which is a favored corporate tactic of the ‘Big Tech Bros’ — like Zuckerberg and Musk:

Disruption frequently occurs as society evolves (?) but may be quite dangerous in a situation like the SMO / Ukraine, where the Kiev regime is in desperate disruption mode as well. (Example, Kiev bombing Chernobyl.) Disruption is an old concept and can arguably be dated back to Lenin’s ‘theory of continual revolution’.

Anyway, if phase two of the cease fire in Gaza does not go forward, it goes without saying that we will all be entering a very very dangerous new era indeed.

Finally, here and there, it is rumored that Russia is playing a greater role in the cease fire negotiations — even if the Kremlin denies that. Perhaps that’s a recent development, and the Kremlin hopes to keep such a development quiet?
