I hope I don't come off as cold and unfeeling but I think I have a solution to the hostage taking practice.
We gave 6billion for 5 hostages. Pretty profitable endeavor.
Now, Hamas has 130 or more hostages. They make good human shields and I doubt more than 10 will be rescued. I also understand that they are from multiple countries. Here comes the hard part.
Obliterate the enemy with no regard for the hostages, using whatever munitions and tactics deemed necessary. The heck with collateral damage. (Several MOABs in the strip, 160 square miles, seems like a good start.) I know, not all Palestinians are Hamas, but they tolerate their presence.
This sort of move would make future hostage takings (and tolerance of the terrorists in the community) look less than productive.
Having said all that, I do understand that isreal would be villified. Funny how we only love the victims while they are victims rather than victors.
I feel bad for the hostages, but very few in the hands of these cretins will survive despite our best efforts.
