    It’s such BS anyway.

    Either Israel is going to engage in tunnel warfare and get the hostages killed.

    Or the hostages will survive and Hamas will demand an even higher price for their release.

    If Israel cared one iota about hostages, they would negotiate instead of terror bomb.

      You can not negotiate with terrorists. The same way paying ransom ware just results in more ransom ware.

        Successful hostage release almost always requires negotiating with hostage takers.

        Especially when hostages are held in a fortified position.

        Not wanting to negotiate with terrorists is a choice. And it’s a stupid choice.

          What positive outcome could there be? Hostage released, terrorists get something for it… and now what stops them from just doing it right again? And even more since they gain something?

          This is exactly the same as with ransomware. By giving them anything you are creating them, making them proliferate.

                But the issue is, the Palestinians being oppressed in the first place is what gives Hamas power. If Palestinians were treated like people, then they wouldn’t have to turn to an awful group like Hamas.

                  That’s the funny part Kurwa: Hamas made the terror attack because they hate Israelis - not because they want to help the Palestinians. Hamas doesn’t care about the Palestinians.

                    Their intentions don’t matter, we know they aren’t right and just. And no one in their right mind is saying that. Hamas is the result of the conditions Israel put Palestinians in. It’s not right, but neither is what Israel is doing to Palestine.
