Yeah I think someone whose family member is fucking kidnapped is not thinking rationally. Of course they will support literally anything to get their kidnapped relative back

So you are disparaging them. Classy.

Again acknowledging reality is not endorsing any specific view.

When someone you love is a victim of a tragedy you will understand that you are not, in fact, the rational robot you think you are.

Their fortunate to have such a rational person speaking on their behalf

“We came with an unequivocal demand that military action takes into account the fate of the hostages and the missing, and that any move considered will take into account the well-being of our loved ones,” Gonen said on behalf of the families.

Is that statement irrational?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received sharp criticism after he accused security chiefs in a now-deleted social media post of failing to warn him about the impending Hamas attack prior to October 7.

First sentence of your article suggests that he regrets such a post. So... Yeah.

And... you fumbled the context and who it is speaking in the quote. Care a little more. Its good for diplomacy.

The point is why he endorsed, and his mental state.

Try to keep up

There's no point keeping up with a dog chasing it's tail in circles. I'll leave you to it kiddo.
