To be fair there was no risk of real political or diplomatic consequences for nazi Germany regardless of what they did (it’s not like the allies we particularly bothered by it until the war was over..)

The situation Israel is in now is very different due to their economic and military reliance on other countries.

Also I don’t think ordinary Gazans can somehow return the hostages..

The people in the suicidal death cult called Hamas might be able to (probably not at this point though) but they don’t seem to care much more about civilian deaths than than the Israelis..
