The Islamic terror group Hamas who have controlled the terror statelet of Gaza since at least 2006 and who carried out the worst anti-Jewish Pogrom since the Shoah have released four more of the hostages that they captured on 7/10/2023. As part of a ceasefire, a ceasefire that Hamas will treat as little more than a ‘hudna’ or temporary regrouping truce and which is highly beneficial to Hamas, the hostages are being released back to the Israelis but in dribs and drabs.
Hamas are drawing out the agony for the relatives and friends of those hostages who are still alive and being held by the terror group and their allies by staggering these releases like this and subjecting the released hostages to a propaganda circus. This propaganda circus is yet another added cruelty on top of the many others that these Islamic terrorists have visited on the hostages.
The latest hostages to be released according to a report by advocacy group the American Jewish Council are: Naama Levy, Liri Albag, Daniella Gilboa, and Karina Ariev. They are now back with their families in Israel. I dare say that they will need long periods of help and treatment in order to recover from what these savages have done to them but I will not dwell on that here, I’ll leave that to others who may be better informed about these matters than I am.
I’m thankful that these hostages have been released but there’s still more hostages, including one of the hostages taken to Gaza by the Hamas savages when they were but a baby. They are still being held by these savages and nobody truly knows when they will be released or even if they are alive or dead.
The ceasefire and hostage release conditions are onerous on the Israelis. For innocent hostages kidnapped by Hamas on 7/10 that Israel receives, Israel is handing over to Hamas some of the worst of all the many Islamic terrorists that have afflicted Israelis over the decades. Among those whom Israel is swapping for innocent young women is an Islamic terrorist who murdered a Jewish family including their nine month old baby.
My only hope from this awful deal which has been pressed on the Israelis by circumstance and international politics is that when as many of the hostages as possible are recovered by Israel that Israel does to Gaza what the Eternal One did to Sodom and Gomorrah. This is because I don’t believe that there are any righteous persons, not even ten let alone fifty, living in Gaza if they refer to themselves as ‘Gazan’ or ‘Palestinian’. Hamas is so embedded and intertwined into Gazan society and has been so enthusiastically supported by Gazans, that apart from newborns it’s hard to find in Gaza any individual or group of people who would provide any moral basis for mercy for these savages. The 2000lb bombs that were held up for transfer to Israel by the Biden Administration have been released to Israel by the new Trump Administration and I pray that these bombs will end up making the region safer for all by doing their bit to eliminate the Gazan savages.
Like Nazi Germany or the mid 20th century Empire of Japan, Gaza needs ultimately to be destroyed in order for it to be rebuilt and for peace to reign. I still hope and pray that one day the sons of Isaac and the sons of Ishmael will water their goats together by the banks of the Jordan but this happy situation cannot come about whilst entities like Islamic Jihad, Hamas and Hezbollah amongst others exist. Two peoples cannot live in peace together whilst one side, that of the groups that purport to represent the sons of Ishmael, continually agitate for the sons of Isaac to be killed.
