Yeah I don't give a single flying fuck about any of those hostages until the IDF admits how many of them are soldiers. They keep pushing this line like they're all poor little innocent civilians (putting aside that there's no such thing as an innocent settler). Same with the death counts.

I am going to continue assuming all Israeli hostages and casualties are IDF soldiers until they admit that the majority are in fact soldiers

Hamas is also being reasonable. They're saying, "can you stop bombing us for two seconds, and then maybe you can get some hostages back?"

Yeah meanwhile the IOF on like the first day said they'll bomb the fuck out of them regardless of the hostages.

That alone is enough to make me believe they're almost all soldiers because there's no way the Israeli public would be OK with the IOF wiping out their own women and children, whereas for IOF troops that's already been the policy.

The Israeli government doesn't give a fuck what the Israeli public thinks though

Have you met the israeli public? They don't give a shit about anything other than making sure the zionist regime succeeds and will sacrifice their newborn children to do so. My wifes parents literally told her from a young age that the only reason they had all their kids (6) is to support israel and have straight up disowned her when she simply stated Palestinians are people too way back in 2014 and they havent talked since then lmao.

also there is the very real risk that Israel will blow up the hostages in one of their attacks on Gaza

Also there's no such thing as a civilian in their society. Every adult is not only a veteran (or criminal) but I'm pretty sure they're all subject to being mustered if Israel mobilizes.

Personally I think being a hostage is better than being dead

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
