I trust Trump to bring Bibi to heel, end his madness and bring peace. The biggest problem now is the monster we placed in Syria. That stupidity will cost many more lives.

You didn’t place AlQaeda in Syria. Erdogan did that. Please define that which you regard as “madness” that must be “ended,” and how you propose that “peace” be brought now, in the present situation. Trump is a very hopeful force in the world, but he’s not omnipotent. Only G-d is, and He’s kept the pot stirring for over a hundred years, or really for a few thousand.

As El Rush-Bo often pointed out, “peace” is accomplished when one side wins.

Well, thus far, Israel hasn’t won, because we did this cease fire thing. Good to get the hostages out, but that’s proving very costly, and sooner or later the war’s going to continue until we win.

Hopefully the second the last "hostages" are released.

The released terrorists could stand having a few “accidents” in the interim.

It is sad, but the hostage taking works for Hamas.
But hell will come when they start releasing ‘dead hostages’

Do you realize that out of seven American hostages (dual citizenship) four of them died while in captivity? Likely killed by Hamas? One live hostage has been released while Hamas is holding the other two.

What would Israel and the US do when we start getting the bodies back?

Either war will restart with a vengeance or a huge deportation effort will start to some island in Singapore.
We will give each of them a fishing rod and tell them to catch their own food.

It is cruel but Israel and the US should have said: To our immense sorrow we must assume that all the hostages are dead or will die, so war will be accelerated and there will be no hostage return negotiations. We don’t negotiate with terrorists.
