It's looking more and more like Hamas' entire purpose behind the Oct 7 attack was to gather hostages for a prisoner exchange. That's the only reason you kidnap babies/toddlers. And they just don't care how many Palestinian civilians have to die for this objective. Hamas just gets more disgusting, if that's even possible.
From the IDF statements it sounds like Hamas didn't expect to get past the concentration camp walls and had no plans past that.
But if they did take hostages to exchange for prisoners it would be a waste of time.

Israel is just picking up just as many Palestinians and Palestinian children as they release in the West Bank.

But its ok to bomb them?
What else is Israel supposed to do to defend itself?

HAMAS will launch raids like 7 October repeatedly to rape, torture, kidnap and kill Israeli civilians, including the very old and the very young. Israel has to defend itself. If HAMAS surrounds itself with human shields, Israel has no alternative but to shoot anyway. Anything else simply allows HAMAS to come back for further raids into Israel.

Defend themselves against the people they occupy and put in a giant concentration camp?
Do you even know how the Geneva Conventions is supposed to work?

Why keep pushing 'mowing the grass' every few years instead of dealing with the root causes.
End the occupation.
End apartheid.
Tear down the walls
Give Palestinians equal rights and full citizenship.

You're not against equal rights now, are you?

Wow...
Wealthy Jews trying to shut down free speech in their own country for a Zionist cause,
AIPAC conspiring to take down House members for not supporting their own ends.
Is this where anti-semetic tropes come from?
It gets confusing because technically we shouldn't be conflating Jews with Israel, no?
