    There’s a reason that “don’t negotiate with terrorists” is a good rule to follow

      Both sides got things they wanted. Seems like a successful negotiation to me.

      indeed it is, makes me wonder why any country still has any dealings with Israel at this point

        Which side is taking hostages? Which side slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped civilians without even claiming they were going after military targets? Hint: not Israel. If you have the stomach, watch this uncensored Oct 7 footage (warning: blood, gore, and death,) and tell me the ones responding to this are the real terorists, and who has the moral high ground. Note how they shoot people trying to surrender and any civilians they happen to come across.

        How does one get such a twisted worldview?

          Israel actually have thousands of “prisoners”, many of which are being held indefinitely without charges or trial. Usually when someone is being held against their will, without reason we call them a hostage. Israel has abducted more Palestinians during the “truce” than they have released. Israel is also seemingly responsible for many of the deaths of Israeli civilians on the 7th of October, including shooting people exiting homes in kibbutzim at the orders of the army.If you want to start sharing graphic, gory, NSFL videos, I have countless videos of Palestinian children without limbs, intact skulls, you name it. No one here is defending Hamas killing civilians. But they difference is that unlike you, we are not defending Israel killing thousands of civilians. The IOF is a terrorist army.

            That’s war; stay belligerent after defeat, be subjected to your enemy’s military courts. They still get more due process than the hostages did.

            Friendly fire exists therefore terrorism? Please.

            No one here is defending Hamas killing civilians.

            You are attempting to justify Hamas when you imply Israel is the greater evil, calling them the terrorists.

            unlike you, we are not defending Israel killing thousands of civilians. The IOF is a terrorist army.

            That’s what happens when you start a war, civilians die as collateral damage. Responding to an organized attack by a hostile government is not terrorism. Not responding is foolish.
