@RememberUsAlways@Scmurcott@palestine@israel Those hostages would be right there alongside the people blowing children to bits if not for the advance operation on October 7. Let's stop playing dumb here, Hamas didn't waste time tormenting civilians, although there were civilians captured obviously. This operation was planned targeting a wide swathe of military bases. You could see videos of these people being caught out in their cargo shorts and polos - soldiers deployed on a military base who like it or not, it was not "war crimes" to ambush. Unlike throwing multiple atomic bombs worth of explosives at an area the size of the Las Vegas strip. Still failing to subjudgate it, I might add, despite the massive sales to the manufacturers of the obscenely overengineered and overpriced US military aid Ukraine has been losing against. $1 billion dollars to counter a ballistic salvo composed of chaff drones and a few older liquid fuel rockets, and they still got touched at the most advanced radar and air defense layered location in the world. If any regional Resistance pole be it Iran Yemen or Iraq wants to touch their nuclear reactors, things will crumble in ways you can't imagine, no matter how the US lashes out.
