And then you just sit at the border with a ceasefire, watching them parade hostages on the street

Well obviously as part of the ceasefire hostages need to be returned.

And why would that stop Hamas? You’ve accomplished nothing.

It did in 2008 and 2012. Hamas has respected its ceasefires so far.

. Lift blockades so they can amass even more weapons. Hope that they will turn themselves over to be tried for warcrimes in Exchange for a ceasefire.

Bro lifting the blockade comes after the ceasefires, not before. I'm not theorizing here; we've already had two of those (that Israel refused to follow).

In what world did any of it stop hamas? Do you have any idea how long it takes to amass that many rockets, weapons and parts for it to go under the radar? It very clearly didn't stop anything.

Look at the attack. Look at the naked hostages being paraded on the streets and tell me it stoped Hamas in 2012.

And "bro" even if the blockade is lifted after a "ceasefire" what exactly does that change? Are they physically not capable of starting to amass new weapons after a ceasefire? "Oh but they're not allowed to as the ceasfire" to which you'll get a massive. "Oh no.... anyway"

You'd know if you read about the two ceasefires I mentioned. Whenever Hamas made a ceasefire, they've generally kept it until it became clear Israel had no intention of lifting the blockade as promised.

Look at the attack. Look at the naked hostages being paraded on the streets and tell me it stoped Hamas in 2012.

Why should the 2012 ceasefire, which fell through because Israel didn't follow it, stop Hamas in 2023. If the blockade had been lifted you'd have had a point, but it wasn't.

“Oh but they’re not allowed to as the ceasfire” to which you’ll get a massive. “Oh no… anyway”

Uh... The threat of another blockade? That's kind of why people follow ceasefires; they want the fire to cease.
