The chief of the American spy agency, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns has offered intel on Hamas military head Yahya Sinwar in exchange of Israel halting its ground invasion in the Rafah region.

Sinwar, who has been on Israel’s hit list ever since the war broke out on October 7 with Hamas, is reportedly hiding in the tunnel network of the terror outfit between Khan Younis and the Rafah region.

The United States has been pushing the Israeli leadership against a full-scale ground invasion in Rafah, given the huge population density in the area with around 1.3 million people including women and children staying there.

      Which I will believe when they show us the video walking the length of the tunnel.

        There’s videos of it already posted to CNN, BBC, and ironically Al-Jazeera.

        Here is a YouTube documentary about them.

        You are a fucking pro-terror pro-Hamas shill. You could easily search for them, but you didn’t.

        Palestine deserves to be free and it’s own country, but dipshits like you who want Hamas to continue hiding behind innocent people while they kill Israelis in the name of Islam is holding it all back.

          The idea that Hamas is hiding behind innocent people has been completely disproven by the fact that Israel just keeps bombing people with impunity.

          On top of that, it’s a bit wild to talk about how evil Hamas is when Netenyahu and his government quite literally, without hiding it, spoke about how they fund Hamas because they know it makes a Palestinian state harder to come to. Hamas would not be half the issue it is if it wasn’t for the Israeli government.

          Also, when you live in a place that’s about two miles wide and 26 miles long, you are guaranteed to be among the civilian population. The reason they are there is because of Israel in the first place.

          On top of that, resisting an armed occupation with violence is not a crime.

          If you are facing constant apartheid, it is natural to hate the instigator of the apartheid. That happened in South Africa, it happened in India, it’s happened all over the world.

          Finally, Israel keeps stating there are thousands of miles of tunnels under Gaza, with very little evidence of that. There is evidence that THEY built the tunnels and rooms under the hospitals. New York City is almost twice the size of Gaza. The New York subway does not have the miles of tunnels that Israel says exist in Gaza. It doesn’t make any physical sense that they would have that many tunnels

          I’m not defending October 7th at all, but let’s not act like this all began with Palestinians and not Europe just kicking a bunch of Arabs out of their homes because of something EUROPEANS did in the first place.

            You have convinced me that you are correct and I was wrong to say what I said. You do not need to provide any sources of information to help change my view, at all, because your amazing comment that was full of thoughts and interesting unique opinions was enough to sway me. Thank you.
