I am desperately keen to see the return of the hostages, I value Jewish lives very highly, just as I do Arab ones. Also agree that the mass slaughter of innocent Jews on 7 October was abhorrent and should never have happened.
I cannot understand the Hamas action. It achieved nothing and was highly likely to result in exactly what has now transpired.
I feel it is possible there is more to the events of 7 Oct than is currently apparent. I do feel this is primarily a land grab by people who hold Arab lives as valueless. Netanyahu needed a pretext for what he has done, and this action played into his hands.
