2. Even putting my intense disdain for TSF aside, I think this is at least 90% smoke and mirrors...

That the remaining hostages were released is tremendous. I'm very pleased, but now I see everything moving BEHIND the SCENES to ensure the remaining Gaza civilian population is permanently displaced--allowing the intent Trump, Jared, and former PM Tony Blair had been cooking up all along, dating back more than a decade it would appear. Seriously, does anyone remember the FIRST time Trump commented on the beauty of Gaza's shoreline and what a tremendous development opportunity it would afford?

So, now under the" beautiful, bright clouds" of MSM reporting here and in Israel- covering nothing but this success (sans much if any discussion of what happens or what is likely to happen next), my cynicism rises to the top unobscured. Good for the hostage families. Likely horrific for the people of Gaza and their continued suffering.
