apparently. they've already killed hostages with their bombs.
but this specific framing around white womanhood being violated, and that needing revenge, but not with any concern for the well being of the actual women reminds me of the 1956 film The Searchers. [spoilers for ancient movie] the cowboy main characters are -searching- for years after a kidnapped white girl, murdering anyone who gets in their way, and when they capture her after murdering the tribe she was with and she's upset & struggling against them---the main guy almost kills her for betraying the campaign of extermination against the natives. he doesn't and that's like the moral of the film or whatever---but it shows the same ideology at work. if there is an israeli hostage in Gaza right now who, when released, advocated for palestine, the zionists would not hesitate to kill her.
So the strategy is kill and maim an entire population until you get to the perpetrators?
