whatever happens at the end with the hostages
i would guess the vast majority of israelis under-
stand that the war will degrade the gazan jihadis
to a point where their promised repeating of the
07oct2023 atrocities will be harder for the jihadis
to carry out
so better that a few thousand idf’ers die during a
protracted war, rather than 1200 civilians getting
slaughtered whenever the jihadis hype up on cap-
tagon and decide to rape, mutilate and loot their
neighbours
