As much as I hate to say this, I think Israel has to find an acceptable way to stop the war, even if they don't get all the hostages back. It's not worth saving the few hostages that are still alive at the cost of further Israeli military deaths and more Gazan innocents suffering. As far as Hamas deaths I couldn't care less, but the costs to eliminate them going forward, if at all possible, is just too high.
I heard on the news tonight that Hamas is moving back up to Northern Gaza and re-arming.
Israel is losing the PR war, and even the empathy and support of the USA, it's only true ally.
The non-Jewish world seems to have long forgotten what happened on Oct. 7th.
Israel is fighting a "whack-a-mole" war where every time they think they have Hamas contained, Hamas pops up again somewhere else.
There has to be some kind of 2-state solution that can be negotiated that can protect Israel against further Hamas violence and Oct. 7ths...not that I have a clue how that would work.
