If I am holding a hostage are you justified to kill the hostage to kill me?

If a hostage dies when taking you out as collateral damage, absolutely. Otherwise, If this tactic is proven to work as a deterrent, we're just going to get more hostage taking.

That’s where we differ.

Journey before destination

The real hostages were the friends we made along the way

Yes, particularly if you've made it abundantly clear that if I allow you to escape, you'll do everything you can to target and murder even more civilians and take even more hostages.

Did you have a more challenging question available?

Nah, you’re OK with killing children as long as you get what you want.
