3. Millions of Israelis disagree with you.

They want the war to end NOW. To save the hostages. Because Hamas would release them if there was a ceasefire. Lo and behold, Hamas has just agreed to a ceasefire which Netanyahu has once again spurned by pushing on with his "total conquest".

Only the right-wing in Israel - and their supporters - wants this "war" to continue. Knowing full well it would ENDANGER the hostages.

Seems disingenuous - or something - to demand the release of the hostages as a condition of stopping the slaughter, and then go on to actually slaughter the hostages.

Because it's not really about the hostages, is it?

And of course the slaughter of Palestinians doesn't even enter into the equation for the right-wingers. Because they're not equal...or something, something.
