How are you so certain that releasing the remaining hostages “would end the famine right away?” Isn’t it at least as likely that once the hostages have been released Netanyahu will destroy the remaining Palestinians?

Exactly, that's why Israel has rejected most of the hostage deals and why they don't care if the hostages starve or get killed by indiscriminate bombing. The goal has always been to wipe out Gaza and resettle and the justification for this can only occur so long as there are hostages. Not a very a very complicated or difficult concept to see.

How are you certain that if Israel stops attacking Gaza, Israel will not get attacked again from Gaza. Anyone can construct a scenario to avoid a responsibility. Hence the proverb, "There are lions in the street!" But, if you care about starving children you would accept this risk you constructed and call for the hostages to be released.

I’m not certain of anything. I asked a question— of someone who seemed to be quite certain about their stance.

Yes, and your rhetorical question shows your stance. None of us are new to planet Earth, so we know the purpose of "I am just asking questions" questions.
