Seeing the number of flagged comments, and going from past discussions where any discussion seen as pushback was flagged, this discussion really doesn't belong on hacker news.

As far as I understand, they've made many offers to release the hostages in exchange for their own people or for other concessions. You can track the negotiations pretty well, although occasionally the diplomats get bombed for some reason.

Diplomats - who don't even live in the strip - were recently (unsuccessfully) bombed.

If Hamas wants to end the war (or supposed genocide) then they can release the hostages with no additional demands. The fact that the supposed genocide victims choose to continue the war is quite the sign that this is not genocide, in what other situation would a victim choose to continue a war that is a genocide against his people?

The victims are the 60k+ dead people (including children), stop confusing things, you know this.

No one here is defending Hamas

Agreed. And Hamas are responsible for igniting this war. And Hamas are responsible for not ending it by returning the hostages.
