The people on here pretending that continuing the war in any way helps the situation are sickening.
No they’re saying that giving up your only leverage is a stupid idea. This is about the politics of war and negotiation. The only thing keep Palestinian and Hamas from being paved over into a parking lot are the hostages. But it’s not like the IDF gives a fuck about the hostages anyway
Hamas started this war for propaganda. They’ll never let those poor female hostages tell of their horrors - that will look bad.
Everyone knows Hamas is bad. How many ppl do you see saying, “I stand with hamas”. The ongoing opinion is there is no good guy in this. Only civilian (mostly Palestinian civilians) victims
Hamas is never letting those women go. You’re deluding yourself if you think otherwise. In effect all you’re doing is arguing in favour of a terrorist organisation raping hostages. Mull on that sometime.
In the meantime the Palestinians will start eating all that leverage hamas has secured no doubt.
Hamas wouldn’t go through all the trouble to capture them if they weren’t willing to free them for a deal. They’re not excusing it, just explaining why militarily it would be dumb for Hamas to let go of their only leverage without a better deal. They let go of a bunch and it only led to a couple days before the massacre began again and Israel basically recaptured about the same amount of people they exchanged. When is the next chance they’ll get to have hostages for negotiation again? October 7th was an unprecedented attack that probably won’t happen again for a long time.
Of course they would. They’ve been trying to provoke a war for ages. The hostages aren’t for negotiations, they’re to force Israel to come after them.
Hamas walked away from the last exchange when Israel wanted younger women released which says a lot.
They forced a war, pushed it into the civilian centres to maximise casualties and there’s still people like you pretending this was a good option for the Palestinians or Israel.
They’ve already been dying. There’s basically been a war ongoing for decades, as they’ve slowly put the area under siege and taken territory and killed and imprisoned people. It’s just the international community has ignored it.
How did they push it into civilian centers? They aimed for a military base. I don’t know why Israel allowed a music festival right next to there. It’s more like Israel has been pushing civilian centers into them as they slowly but steadily take territory and put their own settlers on Palestinian land.
I don’t think this was a good option. You’re putting words in my mouth and I don’t appreciate that. I really think Hamas fucked up with October 7th. What I think is that Hamas probably won’t exchange their hostages, whichever ones they have left that haven’t starved to death or died from Israeli bombs, because it’s their only bargaining chip now.

They’ll pretend to want peace while never taking the next step, all while their people die.

Leverage? Hostages are getting raped and Palestinians are dying enmass and starving.
Perhaps you live in a universe where all this leverage hamas has in the hostages has in any way limited the IDF actions?
Leverage over lives…it sickens me.
Well they’re negotiating over it right now so clearly it’s has limited the IDF in that way

Let them eat leverage hey?
