The hostages had been taken from the Nova music festival on Oct. 7 and are now at a hospital in Israel, in "good medical condition."

    You understand. It happened apropos, not in order to solve problems.

        Trying my best as a non-native. Feel free to hate my way of speaking.

            Everything hamas did was useless for Palestinians. Israel isn’t stopping because they have the ability. Hamas doesn’t, they won’t win in a military fight and hostages are useless for them. They could start doing something proper like releasing hostages (woyild decrease support for Israel hugely) but they won’t because they think it would help them survive (not even Palestinians).

            Hamas had a chance to increase its abilities over time, but instead they chose to spend resources on useless attacks.

              I see. I disagree. Hamas’s actions are utterly deplorable but also entirely expected. This is what oppressed people do. I also think you’re wrong that Hamas have done nothing for Palestinians. They’ve never had as much international support as they do now.

                I could say the same about the ground operation.

                They’ve never had as much international support as they do now.

                Not sure if that really helps, also the price was too high. In fact, I really doubt they had that scenario in mind.

                  Given that Hamas wants a Palestinian state, I think that international support for that cause is crucial to them.
