This is absurd. The rescue of any hostage would be a miracle

While I understand the families' frustration and pain, have to say I completely agree with what you said: This is absurd. The rescue of any hostage would be a miracle.

Yep, Gaza is no Entebbe.

I agree. When I heard hostages had been taken, I sadly had to resign myself that these people will be murdered piecemeal in cold blood, and as a result, are already dead. Not that I blame the families, but it isn’t Netanyahu who is murdering them.

The families will have to come to terms with that.

Time for unlimited warfare by the Israelis. There is no co-existence with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinians who support them. There may indeed be many Palestinians who DON’T support them, but they are going to get crushed as well.

It looks like it is going to be war.

Unfortunately that’s usually true

[ETCM]

Hundreds of people, including relatives of people thought to have been kidnapped, gathered in the Kirya area of Tel Aviv, which is home to the Israel Defence Forces' HQ, to demand the Israeli government cuts a hostage deal with Hamas, or walk.

They are demanding Israel capitulate to terrorist demands. IMHO that would be a horrible mistake. Many, if not most, of the hostages are likely dead, like the ones recovered by Israel.

Aren't we angry with Biden for this, too?
