you wanna have peace free the hostages it will take like half a day

[reymega life]

im afraid our military might have to get involved and liberate the hostages with boots on the ground.

1. How would they do that?

Our country does not have a good record with hostages. Remember Carter's Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 when we attempted to rescue the Iranian hostages? A complete failure with 8 troops dying in the attempt. Israel has the best record of any country in hostage rescue and I trust they will do what they can.

2. this is far worse than that there wasn't an offensive killing of 1300+ people then

hamas offensively killed not defensively killed Israelis its like 9/11

4. I am aware of that.

But Israel is far more capable at hostage rescue than the U.S.

14. Not so sure anymore

SEAL Team 6 and Delta are world premier tier 1 hostage rescue units.

3. 1980 was over 40 years ago.

Much has been learned since then.

Navy seals going in along with the IDF will be devastating to Hamas. Our troops could also verify details of the operation.

5. Hamas and those they represent dont want peace. nt

8. Looks like all hell is breaking lose in the Middle East & Ukraine & Russia

Everything seems to be escalating.

“ Regional stability impacted

“The daily exchanges of fire across the Blue Line risk triggering a broader escalation between Israel and Lebanon and affecting regional stability,” it said, noting also the UN chief’s increasing worry about the spillover effects of continuing attacks by armed groups in Iraq and Syria, and attacks by the Houthi group in Yemen against vessels in the Red Sea, which have escalated in recent days. “

Also - fighting now in West Bank & Israel dropping missiles in West Bank & settlers attacking Palestinians.

And - Ukraine & Russia both killing civilians - escalating big time.

This could turn into WW3.

9. insert Michael Jackson popcorn meme

10. Well Trump could do that in half an hour

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Even if the hostages could be freed (all of them) with US military help,

my guess that Hamas would simply take more hostages. They've learned it's effective.

12. This is false, BB has stated prerequisites for peace and hostages aren't one of them

13. How is our military going to do what the IDF

has been unable to do?

Also, as Netanyahu has made it explicit that his objective is the extermination of Hamas, there is zero incentive for Hamas to release any hostages.
