If you didnt care about the life of the hostage - there wasnt a "problem" in the first place.
Oh but there is, because they keep taking them. Do you want to end that? It means killing your own people for a time.
So, do you have the stones?
Yes, I do.
I also have the stones to kill the wives and children they are hiding behind.
I also have the stones to take all of their children less than five years of age and give them to moderate Muslims or Christians and raise them in freedom. Any child above 6 would be housed with the radicals, and the radicals would be housed in a restricted zone AFTER I sterilized both the women, men,and children.
Let them die out from non-procreation, but be sure to put pictures of their children being raised in happiness and Christian love.
Hell, I may even consider raising some of them as Jews.
How about you?
You have the stones for it?
