Hamas says no hostage will leave alive unless group's demands met
(www.telegraph.co.uk)
Fuck Hamas
And also fuck Netanyahu
Now this is the kind of critical thinking I strive for. Fuck both of them
Most sane discourse I've seen on the Internet so far.

Yes. Both off them.
Is there a list of Hamas' demands published somewhere? Cause I don't see it in the article...
I'm genuinely curious as to whether it's an achievable list of demands vs ludicrous posturing that has no chance of ever being met.
Number one is the complete removal of Israel always. So highly doubtful.

That's kind of implied in the concept of hostages, yes.
It's only going to get worse.
In a few years you'll have an entire generation of adult Palestinians that have lived under blockade in an open-air Gaza prison. It's an apartheid and Israel is an apartheid state.
Treating people with that kind of barbarism creates a lot of anger and a lot of people are going to think they don't have anything to lose by fighting back.
Haven't they been living in an open air prison since about 1948? I'm pretty sure they're working on the 4th generation to grow up in those conditions.

Like how OP is trying to hype up IDF as if they didn't lose a slew of tanks to some Hamas fighters literally walking in with RPGs and probably being as old and as competently trained as high-schoolers.
Eisenhower and Ford are watching in embarrassment as they use a metric ton of the latest in advanced guided weaponry to deal with an insurgency that only has hostages because Mossad was sitting on its ass for a whole year.
Hamas will get crushed eventually, but I'm surprised they kept up this game for so long with only like 200 hostages. Lockheed's CEO would probably shake hands with their leader if he could for generating such a huge amount of arms sales.

Hamas is getting their ass kicked.
It's almost like a well armed modern military are fighting an insurgency.

Just to explain: Their demands are mainly loosening the blockade (which is a humanitarian crisis in its own right) and freeing ~~hostages~~ Palestinian detainees.

Well I guess we'd better just give them everything they want
