> would you want October 7th to happen to your family and friends?
Obviously not. I just believe you are going about it the entirely wrong way if you want to prevent it.
How many Oct 7’s do you think this one-sided conflict will spawn?
What is your proposed alternative that you're alluding to? That seems oddly missing in your comment.
Good question, I’m fairly certain that doing exactly nothing, while of course politically untenable, would be preferable to this.
Kind of a “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” kind of deal.
Find the kidnappers and then surgically take them out. If you’ve no clue how to do that get your single big ally to help you out with that, as they have about 20 years of experience doing exactly that thing.
Even better if your lack of response causes a rift/break in the ranks of your opponents, and half of the hostages get released without conflict.
Of course you’ll eventually have to resign and apologize to the public because it’s much easier for them to be bloodthirsty.
And then, Israel’s PM is bloodthirsty themselves, so it’s all an exercise in futility anyway.
Sorry, but that won't work. Hamas still have 130 hostages, and they shoot mortars, missiles and kamikaze drones into Israel with increasing technology and firepower. They have 20,000 combat soldiers left, so unless we leave several division on their border (which would be insane), they're just break through the fence and slaughter us again. I appreciate your attempt to come up with a solution, but it is not at all connected to reality. Hamas will not just sit in Gaza and wait. They showed us that on October 7th. Either we wipe them out or they will slaughter us again.

Return to pre october 7th status quo but without the soft on border security stuff. Israel easily has the military capability to lock down the border.
Make peace with the Palestinians and stop committing genocide
We tried. They weren't interested in peace. Plus there's a difference between Gazans (Hamas) and West Bank arabs (Fatah). We are not committing genocide, but Hamas definitely are trying to.
