Letters: If you were being held hostage, wouldn’t you want your government to rescue you?

The person you cherish more than anyone on earth has been brutally kidnapped by terrorists. Would you do anything in your power to save the life of your precious loved one who is being held hostage by those who have tortured and killed in an attack on your country and who hold the precarious life of your loved one? It is beyond your control that civilian hostages are being held among civilian inhabitants through intentional and methodical planning by the terrorists. Their intent to lay blame on your country for trying to save those taken from you is their plan.

How can the civilian inhabitants of Gaza not blame the insidious Hamas for intentionally and meticulously planning their destruction by holding innocent civilian hostages among them? How can the world be blind to the desperation of Israeli families to save their own? The deaths of those Gazans deliberately put in the path of destruction are Hamas’ plan to turn the world against Israel as the military of that country attempts to find and bring its innocent captive loved ones back to their families. Would you not ask for the lives of your beloveds to be saved? The Gazans killed and wounded during Israel’s recent rescue of four hostages, during which one of the Israeli rescuers was killed, are the fault and the responsibility of Hamas and Hamas alone. The hostages were held in a civilian refugee camp in which terrorists were hiding them in plain sight.

Hamas and the other terror groups holding innocent hostages are fu.
