Yes but the US is not supporting Muslims only Israel. In fact the US is against all Muslim even in the US because of Israel. Israel wants everything but for free. By free we all know that means the US paying the price and Israel hates us.
There are Muslims in Israel, 18% of the population.
The above pp is insane; don't answer her. Isreal is the reason the U.S. is against Muslims?? Nothing to do with 9/11 and other terrorist acts~

The entire region of their enemies now know ground offensives are the IDF’s weak spot because it’s a paper giant and only an Air Force military. They have zero ground game

...The weapons ARE sold. Israel pays us for them.

They want the hostages alive to bribe Israel. The point was never to waste money feeding hostages just to kill them. They want them alive so they can tell their story about fearing Israeli bombs and about how “nice” Hamas is.
Stockholm Syndrome for sure has a hold on all the hostages. They’ve come to see Hamas as “protectors from Israel”
Hamas is psychologically more clever than Israel is right now. That’s why we see the failure of Israeli PR right now. They don’t realize the way to get to Hamas is all by playing a similar psychological game with Gazans. “hey, look at how they keep the hostages warm and fed and safe in the tunnels underground while you’re up there as human shields”.
There’s an easy argument to be made to dismantle Hamas for failure but Israel refuses to engage with Palestinians verbally or through dialogue. It’s just carpet bomb after carpet bomb. That helps Hamas
...This is not what hostages have been saying after they have been released/rescued.
What ever the Israel state pushes out is propaganda. The state of Israel has threaten the released hostages and families.
Are you really insane?
You are naive. Israelis hate the hostages and specially the families. If you had any connection to Israel you would know this.
All Israelis hate the hostages and their families? What is wrong with you?
Try reading from Israeli sources. The hate is real. Why else would they let the hostages rot? The hostages are labeled as leftist and the families as disloyal to Israel. Those are the more civilized attacks.
You are full of it. Stop lying. Have family there, out protesting and attending vigils every weekend for the hostages murdered by Hamas and the ones they hope are still alive.
Yes and those hostage families are attacked. This was back in May. It is much worst now. Israel is firmly against releasing the hostages. As long as there are hostages dead or alive the genocide continues. So stop your lying and propaganda.
Police charge right-wing activists with assaulting bereaved father at hostage rally
Indictment says Shimon Biton and Uri Harush beat and wounded Gadi Kedem, who lost his daughter and her family on October 7
…
The police charged Shimon Biton, 63, and Uri Harush, 43, with attacking and injuring an elderly person after the two men attacked 65-year-old Kedem, who was subsequently taken to the hospital by medics.
The fight broke out on Saturday at the weekly protest in Tel Aviv calling for the immediate return of the hostages being held by terrorists in Gaza.
Police initially questioned Kedem under caution over the incident, with him saying his attackers went free.
…
According to the indictment, Biton and Harush were among a group of right-wing activists who had shown up at the Saturday protest to oppose the demonstrators.
Police charged that during the face-off, another right-wing activist named Avraham Sa’ad pushed Kedem’s wife, Reuma, who was holding onto his sign. As he pushed her, Sa’ad called Reuma a traitor and said: “It’s good they murdered your children, leftist traitor.”

I suspect this is what Hamas wanted. Divisions inside Israel over what to do about the hostages.
I think Israel’s war style isn’t really conducive for saving hostages on the ground. They’ve only saved about 4 in almost a year which tells me they almost never confront Hamas at all in gun
Battle so most Of Their kills are civilians.
I’m not sure why they don’t get on the ground and ask if anyone knows where hostages are because if Hamas is inside the refugee tent camps like they claim, Wouldn’t hostages be there as well?
So you want to send soldiers on the ground to be in the center of people who want them harm? Why don't you get on the ground, since you are that wise, and ask them if they know where the hostages are?
Yes. That’s what being a soldier or even a cop is all about. Jesus Christ, they are that scared of Palestinians? They don’t have any arms or even any food. They’re in camps. They’re scared of 5 year olds?
What a sissy army.
They can’t be all bad ass and all Krav Maga if they can’t do ground operations. No war is ever won without a ground game. If they can’t do door to door combat or intelligence, they can’t even call themselves an army. They’re just an Air Force

I'm not a Jew but it seems to me ..
This could be over tomorrow if Hamas unconditionally surrendered and returned the hostages.
The Israelis are not the ones standing in the way of a 2 state solution. "From the river to the sea" seems to indicate a rejection of a two state solution. The camp David accords were not rejected by Israel.
War is hell, but until the hostages are returned, I would not expect any country to stop.
Hamas offered all the hostages back in October and November and Israel refused.
If you think Israel cares about the hostages, you’re really mistaken. How did all those hostages get taken in the first place? The IDF was told to stand down and watch as tons of cars and motorbikes left the kibbutz to Gaza.
They watched and did nothing per orders.

Simple, look at the alternative which is Hamas. This is an easy choice for the US government.
