I have a question. The narrative is that we are supposed to always beg Hamas to “end the suffering” and release hostages. Let’s say Hamas releases the hostages. Then we all go back to things as normal. Then Hamas attacks in a year or two and takes more hostages. And so we go back to the narrative of “Hamas can end this by releasing hostages”…so after more people are killed and hostages left in Gaza another few years, then Hamas releases them. Then we go back to normal and wait for Hamas to kidnap again and then wait for them to “please end this suffering” again? Is there a point where we will stop exporting Jews to Gaza as tribute hostages to Hamas? Or is Gaza just the place that Israel decided to endlessly appease and turn into a Jewish graveyard and hostage center? Every few years we let more people get taken to Gaza since 2005? Any chance of stopping having Hamas take people and then asking them to please end the suffering? Or we just have to make sure we live as far from Gaza as possible so that we aren’t the next hostages to be exported to Hamas and left in Gaza for years while Hamas is begged to “please end the suffering”? We don’t export hostages to Ramallah. Why do we do it to Gaza? Why to we pay tribute to Hamas in the form of lives every few years and let them decide when the next person will be exported as a hostage?
