Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I believe they are saying that thanks to Bibi, there can't be a cease-fire. They aren't advocating for them to kill the hostages or hand them all over, they are saying regardless of what happens with the hostages Bibi is going to continue to indiscriminately kill Gazans. In a tongue in cheek manner it was suggested Bibi is using the hostages as an excuse for continued attacks, so if there aren't hostages, there's no excuse. I don't think that was an honest suggestion, just gallows humor. But the point is valid that Bibi doesn't actually care about the hostages and will keep genociding to his heart's content.

Thank you for your reading comprehension skills.

That's exactly what I was getting at.

Edit: I mean, I said in my first response to that (now blocked) person was"the only option bibi leaves is to fight back"

I don't know how that was unclear.

I think it was being intentionally obtuse rather than a misunderstanding.
