“Was it worth for Netanyahu to have not agreed to a cease fire, that would have freed the hostages before they were killed?”
There was no ceasefire that the terrorists agreed to, other than a complete stop to the fighting, and the IDF should back out. Anything else that was deemed reasonable was rejected, per the neutral negotiators.
Yet, it’s absurd to accuse anyone else other than the terrorists who intentionally murdered innocent civilians. If we are going to blame others, why not on those who put restrictions on the Israelis and did not let them move in, get the job done quickly, at any price to the Palestinians, and move on? This is the should be the consequence of instigating war and killing civilians for no reason. Denying Israel to respond aggressively and limiting their response emboldens terrorists and allows them to operate.
