    All those who condemned Hamas for attacking civilians, I wonder if they will have the same energy when Israel starves civilians?

      Yes. I condemn both. And I don’t play the “which is worse” game. They are both unacceptable evils. Israel needs to stop this immediately and, at the very least, negotiate a peace if not some sort of solution to the whole issue (hopefully including at least some right of return) and Hamas needs to return the hostages.

      You don’t need to pick a side when both sides are committing atrocities.

        One of these “sides” could unilaterally peacefully end the conflict. For the other side choosing “peace” just means submitting to living under an occupying force as eternal second class citizens. insert mlk quote here.

        The hostages are probably one of the things keeping some areas in Gaza secure. Was a effective move to gather as many as you can, not only as bargaining chips but strategically.

        Hamaz will use them as human shields in important positions, Isreal gives little fucks about dead Palestinians, thing changes when it’s your own civilians you bomb.

        They should not give them back if they want to be able to operate a little further and prepare for a possible ground assault by Israel.

        That’s what their soldiers are more effective in, no sense in getting bombed without aa.

            No, that was the work of really depraved men. It’s not excusable, and I wish them the worst death has to offer.

            My comment went more into a tactical, not a moral direction.
