Blame the fact that Hamas has hostages, if alive, on Hamas and Hamas only. What we should be doing is ramping up the effort to eliminate Hamas, then recover the bodies of the remaining hostages..
You can’t eliminate Hamas since they have 99% of the Gazans backing them. Their whole reason for being and living is to destroy Jews because they are indoctrinated with that from the time they are babies.
There are only two solutions for them. Either move them all to Jordan (the original Palestinian homeland where 80% of them have family) or unalive them all. The only time you ever get respect from them is if you put a sword at their necks or a firearm to their heads or a bomb through the wind w of their residence. If Israel does none of the above this will drag on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...
