Sounds fishy, if they were killed on Oct 7 why were they moved to Gaza in the first place?

 @DearConstitutionalDemocrat from New York disagreed…2wks2W

The ceasefire deal Hamas “agreed to” recently said they’d trade dead bodies for prisoners. It was always a little suspicious they they wanted that.

Because of lack of food access or sometimes because Israel literally killed the hostages they wanted. It’s happened several times, there’s no denying it.

 @OryxLeahGreenfrom Pennsylvania agreed…2wks2W

Good point or died on the way to Gaza that day

How do you know they were killed by Hamas?

 @CraneMartyWorking Family from Iowa agreed…2wks2W

Hamas has no incentive to lose its leverage by killing hostages whereas Israel has been indiscriminately bombing everyone since October 7th

 @PublicPolicyRavenRepublican from New York disagreed…2wks2W

Once Hamas is gone for good, it will better for everyone. Especially, Gazans.

How does the treatment of hostages and their remains reflect on the humanity or lack thereof in conflicts?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Is the action of retrieving bodies from a conflict zone justifiable, no matter the risk involved?

 @9MK396R from North Carolina answered…2wks2W

I think that it is justifiable, but not if it has too much risk.

 @9MK34DR from North Carolina answered…2wks2W

No. Stop supplying Netanyahu with weapons and end the war. Make a surrender deal to get the hostages to come home and end the war.

 @9MK32N9 from Massachusetts answered…2wks2W

Yes, it is. These are their people, and they have the right to retrieve them. It's their choice and pride that they're risking.
