The hostages have nothing to do with it... as much as Gazans have nothing to do with the Oct 7 massacre.

How would the hostage return the land? How would Gazan tell Hamas to stop?

Both answers are they can't

Many of the current hostages were in a music festival (it's not a war zone) and captured during the Oct 7 massacre by Palestine.

Edit: I see you edited your comment to blame the hostages for being in the music festival. So, you normalize blaming regular people who have nothing to do with the war; the very thing you said we shouldn't do.
