And I disagree that the UN(or most people demanding a cease fire, and that includes you) are advocating for the release of the hostages as fervently.
It seems to be putting the onus on Israel and not the group the started this.
There is nothing more in this world I want right now than a cease fire. I have family in the area and they are directly in harms way.

I think most people who are pressuring for a cease fire are doing the math. Right now 14 Palestinians have died for every 1 Israeli. That is 17,000 ( the lowest estimate) to 1,200. That ratio will only grow in the next 3 or 4 months.
