    You say “sue for peace” a lot, but it seems like you’re misunderstanding the situation in Palestine. Both the PNA and Hamas are suing for peace by default. The thing is that it’s Israel who decides if there’s peace or not; as long as they continue their occupation of Palestinian lands there can’t be peace (and yes Gaza is occupied). It’s like saying the ANC should sue for peace with the Apartheid government, which is like yes that’s what they’re doing.

    Also the hostages aren’t a tactical advantage, but they just used them to free Palestinian prisoners the other day.

    Edit: Oh and also: Israel (specifically Netanyahu and his ilk) likes to go on about Hamas getting destroyed, but realistically speaking they’re not going anywhere. The IDF doesn’t have the capabilities or political will to eliminate Hamas in urban warfare.
