Should Israel just abandon the hostages? After all everyone dies at some stage .... does it really matter if death arrives somewhat earlier for any particular group. Considering they would have been tortured ... death would be a relief. I suspect someone on this forum might consider this a logical reason to abandon them.

If Hamas laid down its weapons and released the hostages, then peace would ensue. QED.

But Hamas are terrorists with no regard for the Palestinian populace. Indeed they are useful as shields, and even more so if they are dead. Indeed the dead are martyrs. How fortunate they are!

There are 22 Arab states. They are not rushing to take in their Muslim bretheren, Palestinian refugees. They don't want the risk of bringing in Hamas. Also, these states have experienced Palestinians before - they are feared and detested.

I guess Netanyahu will probably kill them himself sooner or later, so maybe they're better off with Hamas.
OTOH, he probably killed about 500 Israelis on October 7, so a few more probably won't matter much.
You support Israel and don't seem to think their lives are all that important?
- So why should anyone else care?

AC of the constantly rolling eyes.

No one looks at those ludicrous links you provide.

They have no credibility whatsoever.

Look up the meaning of Dunning-Kruger effect ... that's you.
