All I’m saying is it’s not as simple as it sounds and some people should know better when it comes to War. Many Freepers do. Israeli society is split and many including the hostage families want a deal and are actually protesting and furious with Bibi Netanyahu

Many people refuse to acknowledge the fact that this is a religious -- not a political -- war. The situation is actually simple to understand: One side wants the other side dead. Hamas, et al. do not desire to "make peace" with Israel: Hamas, et al. want Israel destroyed and they want the Jewish people exterminated.

A political "solution" in this matter is not a solution at all ... it's just short-lived respite. Political solutions have not, do not, can not and will not last in a religious war.
