    And half a dozen months ago they could have had a ceasefire to have them released, along with the ones that STILL aren’t released.

      Nah, that was the one that Egypt fucked up. There had not been an actual agreed upon hostage transfer since the first one. Hamas also won’t give actual information on the hostages. This whole thing is just war crimes the whole way down.

      “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” and that stance is “non-negotiable.” If only these terrorists would just stop and do what we want.

        So you think we should negotiate with terrorists? Give them something to make them stop what they’re doing today, and they definitely won’t commit more terrorism later in the hope of getting more things later.

        Maybe just stick to eating ass, Adam.

          Spain did successfully negotiate with ETA, and there is no more ETA today. Colombia’s government negotiated with the FARC, and the immense majority of the FARC have gotten peacefully integrated in their country’s parliamentary system.

            If I looked into those organizations, I would bet they were probably at the point of talking reasonable concessions, and probably resembled a proper government, albeit radical or militant.

            Hamas is not at that point.

              So you don’t know anything about those terrorist organisations, don’t want to read up on them, and instead just assume.

          Maybe you’re right, the world tries to negotiate with israel all the time to no avail.
