"Commonsense would tell Hamas to release them". ..... yet as you say, common sense is most remarkable for how uncommon it is. similar to decency and respect for humanity and difference. and so yes, you're correct such barbaric tribal/religious extremists also exhibit such horrid barbarity. does this make what Netanyahu is doing any less barbaric? it puts Israel in the same class as Yemeni Houthis. is that good?
Israel was admired as a civilised nation. I for one have lost my admiration with this dreadful, indiscriminate and cruel violence. there remains no need for Israel to deliberately starve ordinary Gaza people. not to deliberately kill aid and ambulance workers.
