    Releasing the hostages means the war stops. Hamas could stop their war at will but they’re hoping for all that sweet propaganda their people’s suffering gets them.

      Israel’s goal in this war isn’t to rescue hostages. Their stated goal is to eliminate Hamas. They’ve said it publicly multiple times.

        I wish people would learn from history more. I don’t know that it’s possible to eliminate Hamas. I mean, the US didn’t manage to eliminate Al Qaeda or the Taliban and they tried for like 20 years.
