Then why would they take hostages?
D'uhh. To use as bargaining chips.

Fact is, Isreal were doing their very best to kill Hamas fighters, and they did not know where the hostages were being held other then that they were being held by Hamas fighters. Soooooooo even a not very clever person can deduce they had little concern about the hostages being killed by friendly fire.
Sooooo even a very biased person can appreciate the fact that from day one getting the hostages back was one of the 2 stated goals of Israel, along with demolishing Hamas. It was just as important to Israel as it was to the US when they wanted the hostages back from Iran. As well, keep in mind how much pressure there was/is in Israel on the gov't to get them back, as evidenced by numerous mass public protests.

Maybe when Israel launched the raid on Entebbe they didn't really want the hostages back. It was only a publicity stunt and they just got lucky.

There should be a policy in place to stop giving a fuck about hostages. You got caught- luck of the draw, sorry but you’re already dead to us.
plus capital punishment for terrorism.

otherwise it’s only a matter of short time until October 7 is repeated and the terrorists who gonna be let out now will happily take part in it

I think that they were very happy with the 1,200 they slaughtered plus the ones that they got to rape. The hostages were kind of the cherry on top.

Exactly that’s why I’m saying the hostages should’ve been written off as dead. And there would be no negotiation with terrorists

Any civilian deaths in a war are heartbreaking. However, Hamas drastically overplayed their hand. Still can't understand the special depravity of taking infants hostage. It's a deliberate act of violence directed at children.

I pray this family is alright.

So Israel failed on both.

All they did was kill most of the hostages during the genocide and Hamas is still there.
Total failure.

Speaking of terrorists.

Can you name any of the 20 Palestinian children killed yesterday? Do you have a picture of any of them?

Perhaps Hamas should delay the return of these two until POS Nation stops killing Palestinian children.

Klatuu, you've had a disconnect from the sad realities of war. Taking a child hostage is a criminal act under any standard.
