even the 54 folks for thailand?
It seems the true number was 18 after all, like Hamas was saying, and not 54 like Israel was saying.

Also Hamas has already reached an agreement with Thailand to release the Thai hostages but Israel is so far refusing to cooperate with their release.

The IDF could say the leader of Hamas died of ligma and the average American would believe it at this point.
Very moral
Thai gov says 18, don't spread misinformation
Especially them
so hamas is visually impaired?
Considering Gaza has an extremely high rate of physical disability due to Israeli bombing, it's more likely than you think.
They have what, why? And how can those be mistaken for Asians?
Yeah, came here to ask that,too.
They are literally the poorest souls in that shitshow (and that does not mean any hostage deserved it, it's just a race to the bottom)- some underpaid farm hands, just trying to help their families get by, citiziens of a country which has little chance to pressure Hamas much while their death would mean a massive blow to israels economy (because it would lead to most Thais leaving very likely) and a small victory for the Hamas as the Thais are not well viewed upon by Palestinians as the jobs they now have had been done by them. From their point of view, Israel would have been unable to make obtaining work permits for Palestinians so much harder without the Thais willing to do the jobs.
Palestine had more than 80% of the population unemployed. They have been killed by thousand every year.
Then this:

And you're only worried about 18 Thais...?
Dude. I just pointed out that these guys are a lesser known part of the conflict that also deserves some attention. That doesn't change anything about the situation of Palestinians at all.
But unlike ideological keyboard warriors like you I do actual aid work (and have done so in Palestina) - and, as basically anyone doing so, have experienced the multiple layers the conflict has.
What you are doing is not helping Palestina one single bit. It does nothing besides turning people away from the Palestinian cause and from Palestinian victims. So either you are a very good Israeli shill or a very bad one for the Palestinian cause.
I don’t understand, you mean you are doing more than me because you are pointing us that they are the “poorest souls” and that they live in a bad situation?
???
I don't know about your life, like you neither know about mine, I don't go into personal attacks.
I mean, are you incapable of having any sympathy for individuals that walked into what seemed to be peaceful but turned into a warzone?
Sure, the Israel Palestine conflict has been going on since 1948 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict
But if your work told you to go on a quick in and out trip to Jamaica would you know there's an older persistent conflict that could cause you harm? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_political_conflict
Shit Sudan and Myanmar both have higher body counts so far. You check with the state department and lists of all armed conflicts before all your trips?
Well, what I mean is that you have sympathy for 18 individuals, but you are ignoring the 2,000,000 Palestinians living on that prison, as I said, getting killed, injured and humiliated for decades. So where is your sympathy to the 2,000,000 Palestinians? I think you don't have any because your government is telling you "Hamas is terrorist" (like Instagram bug with their translator, changing Palestine to terrorists) and they are so bad... but they not telling you all the bad things Israel is doing. Israel didn't kill more than 50 Hamas members with those attacks they are doing (they don't even care to release the people kidnapped), they are just killing citizens and then plan to eliminate them all and kick them from their small territory (Gaza). You don't even seems to know the reason of why Hamas did that attack on 7/10.

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_peace_process
That's why Israel will never make peace.
So they never wanted to give back the Palestine territory.
