I’m sorry but Hamas is almost completely annihilated at this point. in addition, they do not represent the Palestinian people. I do not condone terrorist attacks, but once a nation has killed 20-fold greater numbers of people, and is currently razing the entire nation (who at this point has little to no military) innocent lives and all into dust it becomes a lot easier to pick a side.
Not to mention releasing hostages will not in any way change the status quo. When someone has held their boot on your neck for decades what incentive do you have to give them anything? Absolutely fuck terrorists but Israel’s treatment and process going back a long time has created this very situation. They have the power so they must be the ones to acquiesce. But typical rightwing fuckoffs running that place of course don’t want to acknowledge this simple aspect of power balance.

It’s not about the hostages. Otherwise they would stop bombing Gaza and actually use diplomacy to get them back instead of blowing them up.

The only people who win from this conflict are those selling weapons.
