1. I could be wrong but protests around the world as well as here....................

barely mention about releasing the hostages.

[Think. Again.]

2. Do we know where the hostages...

...are being held?

Is there a chance they are also in the line of fire?

3. In which case their hostage takers have a moral and legal responsibility ...

To keep them safe.

They are hostages and their safety (and liberty, welfare, health) is taken over by another. Involuntarily, they're chattel, but under current law, their welfare is entirely the responsibility of their captors.

They're in the line of fire, the captors should risk their *own* lives to move them to safety and taken prudent measures to ensure their safety, given what was predictable.

[Think. Again.]

4. Absolutely...

....but I certainly wouldn't trust hamas to do the legal thing let alone the moral or ethical thing.
