a ceasefire solves nothing. unconditional realise of hostages by hamas first. as a show of their "good faith". the only reason this situation has escalated is because hamas chooses to maintain their position of supremacy based on some american-made mercenary skunkworks program. they are an international terrorist organisation. they do not have rights to negotiate at the international table while they starve, torture, sell, and manipulate their own people. all hostages are released. or they will be freed by israel by all means required. that is my position.
