Ofir Braslavski watched as his emaciated son, Rom, writhed in anguish on a dirty mattress somewhere inside the Gaza Strip, in video footage released by Palestinian militants in recent days showing the agony of Israeli hostages.

      Netanyahu is loosing support and look like the bad guy, so not competing with him on being the worst human being would be a good start

        It’s “losing”, FYI. Loosing would be, like, untying a guard dog to go after someone.

        Just not releasing anything would have been an option. Islamic Jihad might not have a good read on the Israeli discourse, though, and “show that we literally have no food to give the hostages” would have been smart when dealing with a government that at least cares about their own people.
