(17,635 posts)It's ironic that many of the posts I see that blame Israel and America, don't bother to note that it is Hamas that triggered this catastrophe, and it is Hamas and their allies that perpetuate it by their continued holding of hostages. Considering the rape and torture they committed on some of their dead victims that they didn't bother to take away with them - some of those victims CHILDREN - why should we think they aren't continuing to rape and torture their captives?
ALL these deaths fall on Hamas. I wish Israel would respond in a different way to cause less suffering of innocents. But Hamas leaders - and any person paying attention - KNEW who Netanyahu was and exactly what he would do. And, Hamas leaders were just fine doing what they did. (Lovely people, aren't they? )
Here's an idea: let's call on Hamas to release all the hostages and turn over the rapists for prosecution.
