    Using or threatening overwhelming violence to establish regional peace. Crazy what people will get behind.

    Hamas' goal is not "regional peace". Their goal is to kill all Jews and establish a caliphate.

    Qatar follows the ideology of that founder. Not only are they not a threat to peace, but they have been an enabler of peace.

    Are you serious?

    I mean, I am a hypocrite because I have been to Qatar many times, and I enjoy flying Qatar Airways First Class and even Business Class, but I am fully aware that Qatar is a major sponsor of terror.

    You don’t have to be a Zionist to hate Muslims. There are people in the far Right who hate both Muslims and Jews.

    I admit I didn’t expect this ceasefire to hold or more hostages to be released. I’m trying to temper hope that all of the hostages can be released but so far it’s much better than I expected.

    The Hamas terrorists will never release all the hostages because it's the only leverage they have. They are their human shields.

    The only reason they are releasing some is that they were getting pummeled, and they were looking for a break so they can regroup.

    That very well is why they are. Getting the hostages freed though is a goal that we all should hope for.

    Yes. That is how ceasefires work. Both sides get something they want.
