#2 After Hamas' loud promises to get the gentleman of the press freed, to not do so quickly -- for whatever reason -- will cause them to lose face. Kabuki or no, if they can't produce, what boots their promises of law and order? One man, one vote, one time is hard to enforce when almost every household is armed to the teeth with guns, knives, the makings of bomb vests... and a pathological need to use them on someone.

#3 TW,

I agree about the losing face trope. No doubt Hamas is trying hard to come up with 'blame Israel for the lack of release' talking points.

#4 Johnston is lapping up every minute. He is looking at a big book deal, maybe a TV movie, fame and fortune while taking sides when he is released. Another BBC human puppet on a string.

#5 TW. If one is a freedom fighter opposing Zionist occupation, one cannot lose face with MSM.

#6 Maybe Snake Plisken will hang-glide in and rescue him?
