    Do you even read what you post? Here is a quote from your first link LOL:


    “We are expanding the fight in the coming days and this will be a long battle,” Netanyahu said after visiting Gaza on Monday, according to a statement from his Likud party.

    As he vowed to continue the war during a speech in parliament, relatives of the hostages interrupted him and called for their immediate return. “Now! Now!” they shouted.



    So we have families calling for the hostages to be released now, not saying cease fire without releasing the hostages. I guess I should thank you for proving my point for me. Appreciate it. Since the first article proved my point didn't see the need to even click the other link.

    What are Hamas’ conditions for release of all remaining hostages both living and deceased?

    My reading is just fine . They booed Netanyahu’s plans to expand the offensive, and yes they wanted a “cease-fire”.

    When they said they wanted the hostages back “at any cost” that meant at the negotiating table. Not whatever the hell Netanyahu is doing.

    You’ll have to ask them.

    I’m not saying Israel should give in to “any demand”, as some of the hostage families implied. But I think it’s pretty obvious an expanded offensive and deteriorating conditions in Gaza make it less likely further hostages make it out alive compared to a cease fire where you can negotiate further releases.

    obviously no hostages will be swapped without a ceasefire being in place.

    LOL. This is your way of saying you were full of crap. Thanks. I asked for proof that families of hostages wanted a cease fire without wanting the hostages released. You literally proved my point for me.

    Just a point of concern from a secularist that believes all religons and gods are fictions of the imagination,

    The truth of religon(s) gone bad, gone mad, and it's terrible and tragic consequences when fanatical mindless adherents,
    bring the gun, the knife and the rope to the communities they live in, near or around.

    Congratulations to all of you.

    Quds leader taken out by Israel in Damascus. This is going to ripple.

    Wonder who else was in the building.

    Reported 7 missiles from F-35. If true, seems like overkill.

    Have to wonder if Net is provocating to try and preserve himself as protests grow in Israel

    Iran accuses Israel of killing Iranian military commander in airstrike on consulate in Syria | CNN

    A top commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has been killed in an airstrike on the country’s consulate building in Damascus, Syria, according to Iranian officials and state-affiliated media, which blamed Israel for the attack.
    Iranian Quds Force commander Mohammed Reza Zahedi was among those killed in the incident on Monday, reported Fars News, which is managed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
    ...............
    Zahedi, the slain commander, was previously the commander of IRGC’s ground forces, the commander of IRGC’s air force, and the deputy commander of the IRGC’s operations.
    United States State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the US did not “have confirmation either of the target or the responsible party” at a briefing on Monday.

    reading thru some of this, apparently Hamas had no part in starting this war, taking hostages, raping and brutally killing innocent civilians, building a massive tunnel complex in order to carry out this war, building war infrastructure in and under schools, hospitals and stadiums for the exclusive purpose of using the civilian population as shields.
    Maybe I’ve been in an opium haze all this time?
