      . So Gaza doesn’t become all at Bibi’s mercy.

      So you think that would be different from what is happening now.

      Do you think holding more hostages would make a difference?

        Having hostages gives Gaza slightly more hope for when the war ends. And not surrendering means they can at least prevent Israel from occupying all of Gaza.

          Serious question, without trying to stir shit up:

          Other than international outrage or intervention what would prevent Israel from occupying all of Gaza? Doesn’t Israel outnumber 20:1 in terms of population, and outgun 2024 to 1970 in terms of technology?

            They outnumber them 3:1, but that aside: Guerilla warfare, probably. No matter how technologically advanced you are, it’s very hard to occupy a population that doesn’t want you there, so it’d depend on how long the West is willing to fund Israel’s Afghanistan.
