Yes, BUT … Hamas is a completely unhinged pack of murdering savages. They rape women and incinerate children. They are Nazis, only worse — if that’s possible. My best guess: They are posturing to trap Trump into telling Israel to back down. They will wait to fight another day. What do they have to lose? Nothing will stop them until they’re totally defeated and destroyed. Please be real.
There’s no such thing as a “ceasefire” with people who initiate force — who always have, and always will — and who aren’t a bit sorry.
There’s no such thing as a “ceasefire” with a gang of thugs who openly initiate violence against others as a matter of principle, over and over again. You can’t make a “deal” — for hostages or anything else — with people who don’t consider deals valid, particularly deals with the infidels they deem you to be. A deal isn’t possible with people who behead others for their religious beliefs, who gang rape and savagely terrorize women, and who torture and chop up little children, or blow their brains out. You can’t make deals with such people, and if you believe you are doing so, YOU ARE KIDDING YOURSELF.
When 100 percent of a party’s actions are based on savagery, ruthlessness and violence for decades (if not centuries) on end, it’s beyond naive and stupid to think deals or peaceful coexistence are conceivable.
The only way to stop the behavior of murderous parties is to physically stop them, for good — by whatever means necessary. We didn’t make deals to defeat the Nazis or the Japanese in World War II. Deals haven’t worked with Israel’s (and America’s) enemies since 1948. They won’t ever work.
