    I mean it was the Palestinians who first took Israelis hostage in October. Turn about is fair play in war.

      This didn’t start last year. Are you justifying what Hamas did on October 7, too? Or at least categorizing it as “fair play” as well?

      No, Israel has been taking Palestinians and holding them hostage in prison for decades.

      Why did Hamas take hostages on oct-7?

      Answer: To trade for the thousands of Palestinians already held hostage by Israel.

      How did Israel have thousands of hostages already if Hamas was the first to take hostages on oct-7?

      Answer: that’s just objectively not true.
