Remember when the war was supposed to end when all the hostages were released?

I wonder what all the people who told me that the objective of this war was to free the hostages are going to tell me now?

    This war never was about getting hostages released.

    The hostages gave the Israeli government a very nice and convenient excuse to do what they always wanted to do but never could.

    It’s the same as bush with 9/11 invading Iraq even though Osama bin Laden was known not to be there. He literally said he didn’t care about bin Laden, let’s go get Iraq’s oil!

    The Israeli government wants the Palestinian lands and the Palestinians, apparently, all dead or gone. This reminds me of some other very large and sad event in history, the name eludes me for a second…
