If Hamas released the hostages today, Israel would be pressured to stop the war entirely
Hamas holds both Israeli hostages and the entirety of Gaza hostage. They have an interest prolonging this war for their own political survival and to increase the international pressure on Israel - they have the power to end this war today if they release all of the hostages. I don't understand how some pro-Palestine activists can even look themselves in the mirror without realizing how hypocritical they look when they supposedly work for a ceasefire while actively giving hand to this madness. Hamas are using the wider pro-Palestinian movement as massive motivation to continue prolonging the war by rebuilding their manpower through child soldiers with lesser training, making money through their monopolies on the black markets and by selling the FREE aid donated by the world. The fact that the wider activist community doesn't see how they're playing into this injustice like crazy is baffling, and it's even more depressing knowing that they're completely clueless to these facts.
