You seem to confuse political action and war with saving innocent people. I really feel sorry for you.
I'd imagine they're fairly intertwined in a war launched with the intent of going and fucking getting the hostages ya genocide apologizing git.
War has rules. Civilian hostages are against the rules. But, never mind you'll not be admitting that fact anytime soon. Know what else is against the rules? Raping and murdering civilians.
You know what else is against the rules?
Collective punishment,
Laying siege,
Attacking civilian infrastructure,
Instructing your soldiers to commit genocidal rape (quote from the IDFs top Rabbi),
Intentionally murdering journalists and aid groups,
Intentionally attacking refugee camps,
Intentionally attacking civilian convoys, indiscriminate bombing, yes even if you tell them you're going to do it first with some light air raids just to case the joint and bomb them a little,
Disproportionate retaliation which considering how Palestinian dead are now counted in multiples of how many Israelis have been killed by Hamas ever, I'd say has been thoroughly passed.
Nevermind all that though, how about the state that hinges its entire cause on "we are better than them" having a state policy of "hey, they did it to us first! Yay war crimes!"
Turnabout ain't fair play against war crimes, especially when you're the supposed vanguard of a democratic values based world order in a region that has struggled since WWII to achieve full democratic governance.
The best you can do is play whatabout. By your measure bin Laden was justified too.

Terrorism can not be justified in any form chief.
