    The look of a poker player that ran out of chips…

    They’ve found bodies of hostages all the time. One just yesterday. I suppose you could do some math to estimate probability of who is living. Only Hamas would know,except they claim not to.

      They’re saying less than 40…

      Which is what CNN is saying…

      The only one saying more is Israel, and how the hell would they know when they’ve spent 6 months flattening everything?

      Do you think they know when they blow up and kill Israelis?

      Like, you think they’re going in and sorting thru the rubble to check?

      There’s no logical reason Israel would have any idea.

      Like, you’ve been saying we need to listen to Israel’s numbers. You’re still saying we have to…

      And then this:

      Only Hamas would know,except they claim not to.

      There’s no logical consistency, you’re claiming two opposite things at the same time

      Hamas made a statement like 1-2 months ago that said roughly said “If israel knew where the hostages were they would kill them all”

      You are endorsing israel doing exactly that.

        Ahh, yes, they aren’t even hostages. hamas took them so they would be protected from Israel.

        So would the argument then be if Hamas kidnaps all Israelis, Israelis would be better protected?

          The argument is that israel is intentionally killing kidnapped israelis to remove leverage Hamas has over israel. And that he was endorsing israel doing that.

          Hamas kidnapping all israelis would mean the IDF (somehow not being kidnapped) would try to kill all israels. Not sure how that makes them safer.

            Okay. I just had never heard it suggested that it is actually Hamas keeping Israelis safe. Wanted to clarify I wasn’t misunderstanding.
