    And half a dozen months ago they could have had a ceasefire to have them released, along with the ones that STILL aren’t released.

      “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” and that stance is “non-negotiable.” If only these terrorists would just stop and do what we want.

        So you think we should negotiate with terrorists? Give them something to make them stop what they’re doing today, and they definitely won’t commit more terrorism later in the hope of getting more things later.

        Maybe just stick to eating ass, Adam.

          Spain did successfully negotiate with ETA, and there is no more ETA today. Colombia’s government negotiated with the FARC, and the immense majority of the FARC have gotten peacefully integrated in their country’s parliamentary system.

            If I looked into those organizations, I would bet they were probably at the point of talking reasonable concessions, and probably resembled a proper government, albeit radical or militant.

            Hamas is not at that point.

              Hamas is not at that point.

              So, how many bombs still need to be dropped on Palestine to get them there?

                That would require Hamas to care about Palestinians. Their leadership is a bunch of wealthy shitheads living it up in the UAE. They hold a dictatorship over Palestine and refuse to have elections.

                To actually get Hamas there, you probably need to target the rich people giving orders.
