[@wolfgangschnellbacher1333]

​@@akramkaki5913 , amazing how far one can be from reality. None of these hostages have been committing a crime. Their relatives were killed, there was a tremendous amount of rape (Palestinian attackers rape, IDF soldiers did not rape despite having so much more power over the civilians), there is psychological terror (no-one even knows who still is alive, who is dead). In comparison, Palestinians who commit a crime in Israel up to rape in murder are put into prison with daylight, their relatives always know where they are, there always is proper food and medication. Germany and the West have been supporting Palestine big time. It is time to stop this.

I have often wondered why Israel does not offer a HUGE FANTASTIC REWARD to any Palestinian civilian who can locate even one of the Israeli hostages and report to Israel about the hostage's whereabouts. Make an irresistible cash payment that no Palestinian could refuse, including a new home, lump sum payment, and Israeli citizenship. or any of that nature. I am almost sure that there are Palestinian civilians who are quite aware but are just afraid to talk. Offer a Palestinian the same deal that the courts offer to those who lead the justice department to known drug lords, and the like. [ A HANDSOME REWARD AND PERSONAL SECURITY for a Palestinian civilian is QUITE lucrative at this time in their lives of chaos and no home, or livelihood.
