Reminds me of Mike in Breaking Bad - “no more half measures”
No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted.
How about no deals at all. Just wipe them off the face of the earth.
And per those recent photos where they’re enjoying their hearty meals. Why are there still tunnels the Israelis haven’t destroyed?
If actualized, the new stance would mark a major shift for Israel, which came up with the phased hostage deal framework during the first year of the war, as it enabled Israel to secure the release of some of its hostages, while maintaining the ability to resume the war
Read this twice ⬆️ and understand rescuing the hostages always mattered less than continuing this war. In reality, the hostages made continuing the war possible.

Said King George of the Minutemen.
The moral retreat.
Does the west have the stomach to do what needs to be done?
Animals sweep in and slaughter women and children... and the “negotiations” start.
are we kidding ?
Putin is watching .... and I think he likes what he sees.
I'm no fan of Israel, but at least they function in a civilized society. If we can't put down the rabid dogs that are stuck in the stone age, where will the west draw the line.
As far as I can tell there is no line now.
When Putin pops a tack nuke in Kiev will the “negotiations” start ?
No prisoners
“ In reality, the hostages made continuing the war possible.”
I’m sure you meant “The hostages made continuing the war necessary.”.
All those rapists, torturers, baby murderers, kidnappers, and terrorists need to be dead.
Do they actually know where all the tunnels are? My brother was stationed at Cu Chi, Vietnam in 1966-67, and that whole area had tunnels running through it. He wasn't one of the tunnel rats. He was with the 25th Infantry Division. I don't think the U.S. Army ever knew of all the tunnels the Viet Cong used. The damn things were built in 1946-47. My brother wrote home that a lot of black market items were found in the tunnels...Singer sewing machines. And they used parts of the tunnels for hospitals.
Another mistake of the Britains, letting Germans rule their country.
That’s reasonable, but Israel has such respect for human life that they weren’t going to risk the lives of their own citizens doing a shock and awe attack of hamas.
That said, I don’t know how ANYONE can ever think a muslim will negotiate in good faith.
Either they haven't found them yet, or Israel thinks there could still be hostages alive in them is my guess.
>> Then no holds barred until Hamas was completely without life.
That’s right. Annihilate the vermin. Plain and simple. A high degree of collateral damage is an acceptable feature.
Plus, Israel is cleaning out the tunnels first. I've heard they've gotten lots of munitions and plans and other critical intelligence from paperwork etc left behind in them.
Complete the demolition of Gaza, transfer the remaining population to Sudan, clear the rubble and build something nice..
Well, just for the record, the last ethnically English King of England was Harold Godwinson, who fell at Hastings against the forces of a Norman, Duke William, later called the Conqueror.
But that was in 1066 AD…
