    You seem to forget that israel took hostages in the first place and the reason Hamas kidnapped people is literally to swap them for the hostages kidnapped by israel.

        I am glad you have discovered the moral inconsistency of your argument. We can now conclude both sides should release their hostages.

        Now remind men which side is open to a hostage swap without bloodshed and which side isn’t?

      That’s my point here, blaming just one side makes no sense. Both sides have been committing atrocities for decades.

        Yet one side is trying to reach a peaceful solution. Hamas.

        You can be mad about Hamas using violence but we have left them no other option.

        In the West Bank israel is committing Genocide as well. And those people have been trying the peaceful way for decades. And we do not condemn israel for doing so. In fact we keep supporting them and sending them the weapons to commit Genocide and help colonists annex more land.

        Israel has made it extremely clear that they will never agree to a peaceful resolution unless they are forced into it. Both with words as with actions, they verbatimly state that they will never agree to let Palestinians have a state.

        So no, there is no both sides. There is one side constantly punching the other and the only reason the other side hits back is because it wants the israeli side to stop hitting them.
