    A ceasefire where Hamas gets to keep their hostages is a huge Hamas victory. Advocating for something which gives Hamas a huge victory will be interpreted by some as support for Hamas.

    These demonstrations are full of Palestinian flags, without an Israeli one in sight. It’s hard to argue against them being partisan

      If the goal is not to harm your own hostages, you wouldn’t be using bombs, which is real using very heavily right now. It makes a literally no sense.

        I don’t understand how your comment relates to mine. Do you believe that because I consider a cessation of hostilities where Hamas keeps their hostages a victory for Hamas, that I mean to say that rescuing hostages is the scope of Israel’s campaign?

        It clearly isn’t. Israel intends to destroy Hamas and are appallingly callous about the collateral damage they cause in the process
