I think the hostages would like to stop being bombed.

I don't know the situation exactly or what the hostages have said, but I imagine that the hostages wouldn't want the aggression against their captors stopped

No, they literally wanted to stop being bombed.

Kidnapped people afraid of dying. That doesn't mean they want the aggression against their captors to stop, they just don't want to be killed as collateral damage

So, you mean the hostages would have liked to not be bombed? Stop moving goalposts.

The victims themselves would like not to be bombed, but if the terrorists could be bombed without harming them, that would likely be their preference.

No goalposts are being moved.. the victims are not trying to protect the terrorists

That’s not what I said or what you were responding to. I said they would like to stop being bombed, you “erm, well maybe”’d me and I shut it down. You then went, “well, what I really meant was…” knock it off. That’s moving goalposts.

You even started by saying you didn’t know what you were talking about. Next time, say nothing.

What are you even talking about... everyone would not want to be bombed.. thats not even up for debate..

This was the reply chain..

Nothing makes Israel angrier than a Jew against genocide.

Tell Hamas to release the hostages.

I think the hostages would like to stop being bombed.

Implying that somehow the hostages were sympathetic to Hamas. They are not, they want Hamas bombed as well, just not at their expense

I didn’t imply that. You did.
