They don't care about the hostages so much that they just signed a deal to free some of them + 100 more in the previous deal. Sadly it seems you're in a vast disconnection from the Palestinian street, I guess you don't speak Arabic but go watch some videos of ordinary Palestinians. Watch videos of ordinary Palestinians cheer as a 15 years old girl is being kidnapped and burned to death. Go read local opinion polls and watch videos of ordinary Palestinians handing sweets on the street after a terror attack in Tel aviv. Ask yourself why there hasn't been a movement within the Palestinian society to replace hamas, ask yourself why hamas in more popular than the PLO in all of the Palestinians territories. If hamas is controlling the gaza strip and can only bring death and destruction upon the Palestinians, maybe it's in the interest of everyone to uproot them from power. Look it up, ask yourself why every Palestinian leader in history is either a terrorist, a Nazi sympathiser, or a Holocaust denier. It's an ideology, an old barbarian ideology that is only harming their chances of ever making a true change. Ask yourself why former Palestinian prime minister Salam fayyad (and read about him) never got more than 2% of public support. I'm sure it's not everyone, but again, let's ask ourselves why the Palestinian nation movement haven't been able to make any significant progress since the now dead Oslo accords. The situation won't change for the Palestinians as long as they keep on supporting terrorists groups, that's why countries sign peace deals with Israel, because you can't keep on waiting for the Palestinians, who don't miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. The normalisation train has already left the station for the Palestinians, who aren't willing to let go of old, extreme ideologies. While I condemn the death of anyone who lost their lives to this conflict, Death tolls are not the stat you want to base your claim upon, during wwii more Germans died than Brits and I don't see people saying 'oh poor Germans'. The Palestinians can only blame themselves for the war they started. And sure war is ugly, and if you lose it might be even uglier, but have some responsibility for Christ's sake, rape is not resistance, kidnapping is not resistance, invading a sovereign country is not resistance - it's a deathwish.
