> what should be done about the guy holding a loaded gun at his hostage's head while covering himself in babys?

It's a difficult situation, but I doubt the answer would be to shoot the guy and two babies, which is analogous to Israel's response, if you believe their claim that 1/3 of the people they've killed were Hamas.

not unreasonable if they are pointing the gun at you and your baby. How many children would you kill to save your child? would you just give it up to die?
