      Right, Israel should just roll over an accept all death and destructing of their own people just because the Hamas doesn’t give a fuck about theirs?

            The same way the police deal with people that have taken hostages. Or the same way the US military deals with them. BY NOT KILLING THE HOSTAGES.

            You are putting an awful lot of effort into purposefully not understanding this concept.

              The US doesn’t negotiate with terrorists as a policy. the police isn’t dealing with people hell bent on murdering them, their family, and all their friends.

              The fact that you think your scenarios are related shows you don’t understand the situation.

                The US negotiates with terrorists every single day. That’s just a political slogan. In reality you do want to talk with everyone involved, even if you’re planning on betraying and murdering them at the end anyway. The US has negotiated with almost every single terrorist organization in existence worldwide. That’s like, the main job of the CIA when they’re not too busy smuggling drugs.

                They don’t negotiate with terrorists, but they also don’t purposefully shoot their hostages either, now do they?

            It’s called counter insurgency. But it involves thinking about the civilian population as real human beings with rights.

        No one said that. Why do you make it sound like this is the only other option?
