As we reported on Wednesday, a "bombshell" story in Haaretz claimed that in the days following October 7, Hamas offered to unconditionally surrender all of the "civilian hostages" they'd taken — all they asked was for a mediator to arrange the exchange. Then Secretary of State Antony Blinken "had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation," Ryan Grim of Drop Site News translated. "Instead, he wanted war."President Joe Biden's Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, replied, "For the record, this is false. Complete fiction."
On MS NOW's Morning Joe on Thursday morning, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton floated the idea that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knew an attack was coming but let it happen so he could "come down hard" on Hamas. What a relief it is to have Secretary of State Marco Rubio running the department now.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Hamas), who recently offered her assistance in Mayor Zohran Mamdani's vow to arrest Netanyahu as soon as he set foot in New York, saw Blinken's denial of the story and weighed in.
Nah. You totally waited. Waited until there were no functional hospitals, until the death toll rose in the thousands, waited until they were dropping white phosphorus on civil population, you just waited....did NOTHING to stop the genocide. https://t.co/kE8ne68Cbr

Reminder: Tlaib was censured in 2023 for repeating falsehoods about Israel and Oct. 7.

If Hamas could unilaterally release 2 Americans on 10/17 and 2 elderly Holocaust survivors on 10/23, then they could have released ALL of them.

You don’t need to make excuses for jihadists, Mrs Tlaib.
Not a single thing out of this odious woman’s mouth is accurate. She is a 24/7 liar and Israel-demonization factory. You’d have no idea she has constituents in Detroit who hired her to work for them.

There was never a genocide in Gaza, you malicious liar

There was no GENOCIDE you fucking idiot.

There’s no genocide, Rashida. Idk why you people cannot seem to understand that. Measures taken to get back hostages aren’t genocidal you demonic woman.

Lol this bs story: "we will give you back the people we took, whoopsies about those innocent civilians mowed down at a peace concert. But hey, give us back the people who carried out attacks on your people in the past and we'll call it even."

You're sick for believing this.
Rashida, you need to understand that when people go on a rape and murder spree and then kidnap people, they are opening the gates of hell upon themselves.

Oh, and it’s not a fucking genocide you evil monster.
It’s weird to counter his claim that the statement is a lie with several more

Had Israel had wanted to commit a genocide they could done so in a week. So either they’re really rubbish at it, or it’s not a genocide.

Rashida, when and where was Mohammed Sinwar eliminated?
— Wilderness (@seferbamidbar) September 10, 2026
Oh right, at the end of the war, under an intact hospital
Why do lie so much? Do you ever tell the truth, even by accident?
Why wouldn't they just release them, if they in fact wanted to unconditionally release them
— Bram Reichbaum 🌠 (@Bram_R) September 10, 2026
So, the Biden Administration rejected a possible hostage release? Is that what you're saying?
— Shadyhugs (@Shadyhugs) September 10, 2026
That's what she and a lot of her supporters are saying. Blinken was a warmonger whose goal was to keep the war going.
