The choice for Israel should be obvious. A violent raid freed 2 hostages and killed more than 60 Palestinians. A pause released 105 without casualties and good faith negotiations could free the rest. Violence is the problem not the solution.

@Thomas__Weber @KeesvandenBos Excellent quote from a terrific article! Even in the US, where low levels of trust are being pushed toward active distrust by a right-wing fringe, simple, common sense demonstrations of procedural fairness and justice have an excellent chance of restoring relationships of trust.
