So, how do we free all of Israel's hostages and bring all those involved in planning October 7 to trial so we can eliminate any reason for Israel to continue in their war against Hamas.

Palestinians have been betrayed by Hamas who gambled they could start a pan Arabic war against Israel. I suspect Iran was behind this false impression, but it highlights how the Palestinians are being used by Iran and that alone should cause them to join Israel to destroy Hamas and put in a new government that serves Palestinians not Iran.

Twice I have said, Iran, not Iranians, because I think like the Palestinians, the Iranians are being used by their government. Meanwhile, there is evidence that innocent Palestinians have died as a result of Hamas starting a war and then hiding behind the people.

Let them abandon their hiding and come out and engage in open warfare. If they are unable to do so, then it seems pretty stupid to have started the something they could not finish and then expect the intentional deaths of Palestinians civilians by Hamas to save them.

I weep for the innocent of both sides, but the blame for this war falls squarely with Hamas and Iran.
