I mean I am not the one making the decisions, but I ask again what is the alternative? Let Hamas continue their war against Israel, launching pogroms and missiles? You don’t seem to care about that or how Hamas have deliberately embedded themselves in society, so that such infrastructure becomes part of a war machine. It’s not so much I am ‘willing slaughter’, it’s more that I blame Hamas for that and do not see how an alternative is viable.
I like the fact you think hostages would have been released without war. Yeah, Hamas might say they want to slaughter Jews, but they would have been good enough to let them go with some diplomacy (and that doing deals with genocidal terrorists would be a viable option, enabling them to think they can do it again for more benefits). Also, that the Hamas detailed casualties are going to include who was a Hamas fighter. Like they’re bound to honesty.
