The rational thing is to destroy this enemy or you will have more October 7ths. The Arabs have needed more than a military humiliation, they need an ass kicking that breaks their hearts in an existential way. Like Japan and Germany got from us.
If Israel were being truly rational, they would not negotiate.

If Israel were being truly rational, they would have ended the game in less than a week taking 100%.
If Israel annihilates the irrational negotiator, they get all 10,000 shekels.
TPTB will not allow a crash before Nov. 5th.
Exactly. If Hamas is left even partially intact, they will claim it as a victory, and start reasserting themselves, and building up to do it all over again, and the Gazans will still be scared into doing their bidding. The hostages may or not be released in one piece. Sinwar and his whole f@#$ing organization must be destroyed.
That assumes the game ends there. It doesn’t.
This is a finite game and this was disposed of long ago. Life for a civilization is an infinite game. Unless you are anahiliated, say like the Mongols did to some offending tribes, you always have a next turn. We defeated Germany and Japan totally, and yet they are still playing prominently upon the international stage.
But Hamas has shown through these kinds of antics that they are a player we can no longer live with because they are bent, not on the best for the Palestinains, but total annihilation of the other side, with using instruments provided by us the long suffering productive US citizenry.
Hamas is playing the game spelled out in Rules For Radicals.

I wrote about two months ago:
Perhaps Israel should divide up the Gaza strip and then try to buy the hostages freedom off of small groups at say 10,000 Euros or dollars a hostage.
The hostage holders might also be given the options of jail time with a 60% sentence reduction or two hours to escape without tracking (and also a 40% possible sentence reduction if they give their DNA).
This would have to be compared to the current policy, which probably is to send the hostages out and surrender or to take your chances in combat with the IDF.
Now many people may rightly object to handing $10,000 to evil people, but one has to consider that it may be the only way to save the life of a human being.
It should be borne in mind that HAMAS may not hold all the hostages itself.
Holding hostages is a war crime.
Therefore, HAMAS might let independent groups continue to hold the hostages.
The atrocities were the result of hate fomented by the press and educational systems.
The journalists and teachers of Gaza need to face the same justice Joseph Goebbels might have faced.
From Israel to the sea
Gaza will cease to be
Israel should assume all the hostages have been murdered, and continue to rub out any vestige of ham ass today, tomorrow, and forever.
Just in case anyone has any doubts that Hamas committed atrocities on Oct.7, here is video (watch at own risk, very grpahic) taken by the Hamas butchers on their phones. I could only watch less than a minute.

Israel’s 9/11
The Israelis used to have a thing called the Sampson tactic. If an Israeli was taken hostage, they would flood the area with tanks and troops and kick in every door and level every building in the area until the hostage was returned. Make taking hostages too costly to risk.
Hamas’ stated goal is to kill every single Jew. Trained up from childhood. They are like rabid animals, just need to be put down.
