    If they’re going to declare arbitrary subsets of the hostages, why stop at female? Why not demand only the short hostages, or only the ones with blue eyes?

      I think it’s just the lower likelihood that they will end up as combatants. If you’re in a military conflict you’re generally more likely to hand over hostages that are less likely to come back and fight you

        Clearly you missed all the female IDF soldiers thirst-posting on Tik Tok dancing on the rubble of destroyed homes and schools.

          No I saw. I’m just under the impression that it’s a lower likelihood that women in the IDF are serving in direct combat roles. I mean maybe they are, maybe all of Hamas’ hostages are highly trained combatants, although I doubt it

          …what. IDF soldiers are literally dancing on graves? I mean, I guess I’m not surprised. I’ve seen videos of them gleefully spewing genocidal bile and discussing their genocidal exploits.
