Hamas has indicated it is currently unable to identify and track down 40 Israeli hostages needed for the first phase of a ceasefire deal, according to an Israeli official and a source familiar with the discussions, raising fears that more hostages may be dead than are publicly known.
They are not getting the retribution based on your own claim.
Unless you think those 13,000+ children are all in Hamas.
Am never going to try to justify civilian deaths, because there’s no justification. But the fact is if you kick hornets nest you’ll get stung. You can’t expect any country on this planet to ignore such an attack because if they do, they risk allowing such attack to repeat.
You say there’s no justification and then you justify it in the next sentence by implying that it’s Hamas’ fault that all of those innocent children died.
Am not justifying am pointing out it’s an expected outcome. I never said it was warranted or said it was okay.
Why should over 13,000 dead Palestinian children be the “expected outcome” of far fewer dead Israelis and far, far fewer hostages? Because that still sounds like a justification.
