It may increase the risk to hostages, but will it lessen the chance this happens again. Get your head out.

International law he says😂. Where have you been the last 2 weeks? Israel doesn’t want the hostages. They want blood. If they happen to get a hostage in the process they might be ok with it as long as they don’t say anything positive about their treatment like that 80 year old lady did. Such wonderful ppl…
