It is not about bringing back the hostages. It is about taking revenge, killing civilians under the pretext of human shield.
MIKO PELED: “I mean, this is revenge. This is just, Israel was humiliated, the army was humiliated, and they needed to take it out on somebody. So they found the weakest victims they could lay their hands on, and these are the Palestinian civilians in Gaza. And so they’re killing them by the tens of thousands. I don’t think anybody believes in such a thing as getting rid of Hamas. I don’t think anybody really believes that that’s possible.”
