   So you can understand Israel's actions after the October 7 massacre ?

If you accept that Humans will act violently after being attacked, then you can accept Israel responding violently after being attacked on Oct 7 th 

No, because the victims on the 7th of October were Jews, and, by historical precedent, in certain theological pronouncements and in (just) living memory, Jews are supposed to line up meekly to be slaughtered.

 

Unfortunately for many zealots, religious and political wingnuts, the current incarnation of the Nation and People of Israel have developed this notion of "never again"!

CNN’s Paula Hancocks takes a look at the deadly impact of Israel’s hostage rescue operation in Gaza. Gaza's health ministry says at least 274 Palestinians were killed in the operation and hundreds were wounded. The Israel Defense Forces disputes those numbers, saying it estimates the casualties were “under 100.” CNN cannot independently verify death tolls from the enclave due to the lack of international media access.

Just think, all of this could have been prevented if Hamas had released these hostages.  In fact, none of these tragic deaths would be occurring had not Hamas kidnapped them in the first place.

Do you not see the flaw there? 

 

With Israel vowing to wipe out Hamas, what incentive is there to release the hostages or even keep them alive?  Not to mention that, until the rescue operation, the hostages served as a bargaining chip and a shield against attack.  Now, they're useless for either purpose.  Just a burden and an existential threat pending the next rescue operation that will kill dozens, perhaps hundreds, many of them kids.  Doesn't bode well for the remaining hostages.

 

 

 

 

   There is no alternative though , apart from complete surrender from Israel ,

Since when did it bode well for the hostages? Hamas again refused the last deal. 

 

Their hope was lost, 4 have been rescued, their hope is back.

How many deals has Hamas made to Israel since 7/10 and while you're contemplating that, how many has Israel rejected?

What are you talking about, there should be no deals for hostage taking! Hamas can say whatever it wants and say a deal is rejected. They are carrying out a war crime everyday they hold them.

 

Back on topic:

 

Keeping hostages in civilian buildings is a war crime.


- It turns the buildings into legitimate military targets.
- It places all the civilians around them at severe danger.
- Any civilian involved in keeping the hostages is not a civilian.

Details have been presented in a video released by the military wing of Hamas about three Israeli captives allegedly killed by the Israeli army.

They were killed during the operation that was carried out yesterday to release four Israeli captives, the armed group said.

   Your link also states :

 

"What we saw in the video is supposedly three Israeli captives killed, but the video was blurred, so it was hard to identify the captives."

 

Need to ask why Hamas can show clear videos of dead Palestinians  , but cannot show clear videos of the three allegedly dead hostages . Hamas could easily release the bodies for an independent autopsy to prove they were killed by the IDF .

   Could be that Hamas are lying again ?

   Yes, that was agreed upon by Israel and Hamas broke the ceasefire by firing rockets into Israel .

I knew what you meant the first time. This is not a competition where the one holding all the cards ie Hamas get to say how many times it offered a delusional deal. Go back to your playground games somewhere else, they are vile.

   It has been Biden who has been holding the IDF back .

Israel would have gone in much sooner had Biden kept telling them to show restraint

They were not the first to be rescued by the IDF since Oct 7th. Not that you would care obviously.

   Any dead hostages died because they were forcible taken to Gaza and held against their will in a war zone and held as human shields .

   Hamas are to blame for all deaths in the Gaza war

neither side is being honest.

Hamas lost the wager over using hostages because Israel did not bow to expectations.

Sadly now neither side is in a win situation because Hamas desperately holds on to hostages as a bargaining point that has lost value  in the face of Netanyahu's equally desperate resolve to send IDF forces to die in prolonging the impossibility in eliminating Hamas who are spread across territories outside of effective Israeli suppression if at all.

In all reality who is to know how many hostages have perished as a result of IDF attacks .

 

No idea but then we also do not know how many were murdered by Hamas. But the point of my post was hope to getting more out alive.
