Biden is wrong: ‘Negotiation’ won’t work with Hamas

President Joe Biden and tens of thousands of protesting Israelis keep insisting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu do more to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists. They aren’t so clear about what exactly Netanyahu can do.
The Israeli citizens at least can claim emotional stress for their lack of full reason. Biden’s backstabbing of Netanyahu, though, is despicable and inexcusable.
Asked if Netanyahu was doing enough to secure the release of some 100 remaining hostages, Biden simply said “no.” He also is saying he expects to give both Hamas and Israel, equally, a “take it or leave it” proposal. But how, pray tell, can Israel negotiate with a terrorist network that refuses actually to accept any limits on its own murderousness? How can Netanyahu negotiate with thugs who have rejected every other ceasefire agreement for 11 months? How can anyone negotiate with monsters who don’t even care about their own people’s lives but whose entire reason for being is to wipe out the Jewish nation by every means foul and fouler?
Every single time a “deal” supposedly is in the offing, Hamas commits another atrocity. In last week’s abomination, Hamas butchered six innocent people, three of whom were specifically being discussed for release in the last round of inane “negotiations.” What possible concession can Israel make to ward off such pure evil, especially without giving Hamas even more incentive to slaughter other hostages to gain even further concessions?
