Not so sure what these protesters think Israel should do? Give Hamas everything it wants? That would basically mean their death in the years to come. Because if they think Hamas is going to stop then they are dumber than they appear. So they hate Bibi so much they would slit their own throats.
But even more importantly, these idiots would actually trust Hamas to turn over the hostages even if they gave them everything they want in? What total asshats.
This is also not about the hostages. This is about the same thing as before oct 7. They used judicial reform to try to throw Bibi and his coalition out of government and now they are using the hostages for the same reason. They can't win an election so they are trying to force the government to conform to their point of view this way.
But this will give Biden/Harris the public leverage in the US to demand that Israel give Hamas everything it wants without them looking like they are abandoning Israel, which they want to so badly in order for the democrats to win the antisemites in Michigan and Minnesota.
Shame on the protestors. This is absolutely sickening.
That Hamas has now realized that it can raise the price for the hostages even more, that it still has time to play its no-lose games of negotiation, that there is a chance that Hamas will not be punished for killing the hostages, and that it can benefit from the killings.
Thank you for providing the additional context about the strike... the loss of 6 more hostages hurts, but in our grief it is really important we learn to express that pain without inflicting additional injury on the body politic

As always, I have nothing to add to Ira's essay.
But I will try.
What the Union's attack showed me.

I really want to think that Hamas is wrong.

Thanks for more detailed information about what is going on there.
