The Hamas murders, rapes, burning alive of babies and abductions – all the reasons why Israel was forced to go to war with Hamas to begin with — have retreated into the background, rarely ever mentioned by politicians or the media.
Gatestone InstituteWhat seems to matter instead to those who set the political and media agendas is to use the Hamas war once again to demonize the Jews as the world’s most inhuman people for wanting to live peacefully on their historical land without daily massacres from Iran and its proxies — Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and the Houthis — which apparently plan to encircle them in a “Ring of Fire” — “six fronts of aggression against Israel” — as part of Iran’s attempt at hegemony in the Middle East.
Nine months after the Iranian-orchestrated October 7 Hamas massacre of 1,200 mostly Israeli civilians, 116 hostages remain in Gaza, including at least 42 whom Israeli officials estimate were murdered by Hamas, after suffering unfathomable mental, physical and sexual abuse.
On June 8, Israel rescued four hostages in a heroic mission, in which Israeli special forces entered the private Gazan homes where four Israeli hostages — three men and one young woman — were held by “ordinary” Gazan civilians, one an Al-Jazeera “journalist.”
What should have been hailed worldwide as an amazing rescue operation that finally brought some hostages back from their daily torture was instead condemnedas “disproportionate” — further proof of how normalized Jew-hatred and support for terrorism have become when political and media elites root for terrorist organizations instead of hostages. The EU’s foreign policy chief Josef Borrell even called Israel’s rescue operation of people who had been kidnapped a “bloodbath.”
If you do not want a “bloodbath,” do not take hostages, hide them among civilians, try to prevent a rescue, then if they are rescued, profess shock at the fallout that you yourself have teed up.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres voiced his “condemnation” for what he claimed were the deaths of “hundreds of Palestinian civilians” — as usual unquestioningly parroting whatever figures Hamas tossed out. General Onno Eichelsheim, Chief of Defense of the Dutch Armed Forces, said that Israel, “in its operation to rescue the hostages,” had used “disproportionate force to achieve its objectives.”
There were even some who suggested that Israel should be put on trial for rescuing its own citizens. “The international criminal court should investigate Israel’s hostage rescue raid,” wrote former executive director of Human Rights Watch and currently visiting professor at Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs, Kenneth Roth, reportedly the owner of an “immoral anti-Israel obsession.”
There were also “questions about its necessity,” Roth added. Oh, so, according to him, it is not “necessary” to rescue Jews who are being raped, starved and tortured for nearly a year. Good to know. Estimates are that a third of the 120 hostages who remain in Gaza are no longer even alive.
BBC news asked with a straight face if, to spare the lives of the Gazan “civilians” who were keeping the hostages locked up in their homes, Israel had given prior warning before launching its rescue operation. The Israeli spokesman, also keeping a straight face, politely answered that a warning might have endangered the hostages and made the rescue more difficult.
The irony of all this seems completely lost on the political and media elites, who kept insisting that the Israeli rescue operation was somehow immoral. By condemning Israel’s rescue operation, they suggest that massacring and kidnapping 240 people is moral, and an act that should not require a military response.
What’s more, the hostages that have returned to Israel — those who were freed in an agreement with Hamas and those that were rescued — spoke of starvation, beatings, rape, slavery and unfathomable torture. In contravention of the Geneva conventions, Hamas has refused to allow the Red Cross to check on the welfare of the hostages. One can imagine why.
To this day, there seems little-to-no interest in the fate or condition of the hostages still in Gaza. Instead, there is denial that the October 7 atrocities even took place, compared to an almost obsessive regard for the safety of, and humanitarian aid for Gazans. When the UN is unable to deliver the aid, Israel, not the UN, is blamed.
Meanwhile, the main condition set by Hamas, Iran and Qatar to free the hostages — apart from releasing an infinite number of terrorists, whom they get to choose, from Israeli prisons — has been a “permanent ceasefire” and “permanent Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.” The new purported Hamas agreement to a ceasefire apparently comes with “a major hurdle: The Iran-backed terror group is now demanding ‘written guarantees’ that mediators will continue to negotiate a permanent truce, once the first phase of the plan goes into effect, the Hamas rep said.”
Essentially, this demand means that Hamas and its handlers, Iran and Qatar, would like to start wars and then have someone else stop them when they do not like how they are going.
The UN, with main inciter-in-chief Guterres at the helm, has made it clear that Israel deserved the slaughter and had it coming, The October 7 massacres “did not happen in a vacuum,” he said, thereby justifying them.
The Red Cross, which has not sought to gain access to the hostages since their abduction, presumably could not care less about their fate, and are being sued for neglect by families of the abducted.
“Israel is a country that has no place on our land,” said Ghazi Hamad, a leading Hamas terrorist, in an interview with Lebanese TV channel LBC.
“We must remove that country, because it constitutes a security, military, and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation, and must be finished. We are not ashamed to say this, with full force. We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight.”
Recently, a former senior member of the PFLP, Khaled Barakat, wrote in the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, “The extinction of the Zionist project is only a matter of time thanks to armed struggle, Jihad in Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen.”
Western elites seem happy to assist them in that fight.

You forgot the important part after sending them back to their shithole. after sending them back drop a big bomb and get rid of this menace once and forall. To do otherweise we have seen what happened and that will happen again and again and again so drop one bomb and have peace or you have war and terror attacks forever. Take a look at Israel then israel is and has been shouting it out loud but the politics here wont listen and because of the wont listen our nations and we are free for termination.

Hi BNI.
Yuck, why post that idiotic Jimmy Dore guy? He and WAY too many others say there’s a difference between being antisemitic and anti-Zionism, yet then claims that Arabs are also semetic, and people shouldn’t fall for the difference because it’s ok to be anti-Zionist? I know you’re aware of this BS, but Islam is such an evil and CRAFTY liars of everything! They come up with insidious 💩.
Now for a couple of things learned recently.
1- The baby put in the oven and burned alive was taken by the Oct 7th Palestinian murderers camera.
2- Fighting Islam is not unique to what Israel is going through. The difference is Jews are still there fighting the them, whereas others are already dead or have no voice. An example is the Armenians and the Lebanese Christians. Not much is heard from them except Brigette Gabriel. I had heard her story about what the Muslims did in her nation, but didn’t know it was the abbreviated version. Everyone should hear the whole story. There are so many more accounts of Islamic barbery yet we’d have to begin a huge spreadsheet and then library.
3- Just found an out that in October 2023, Saudi Arabia gunned down Guyanas attempting to emigrate to their nation. How many Islamic nations do this with never a word or survivor to tell the story?
4- Also learned that the New York Times building is owned by Qatar.
5- The Roosevelt Hotel in NYC is owned by the Pakistani government. There are obviously more that we’d be horrified to learn of.
6- Obama brought in many Muslims AND said repeatedly that the Muslim Brotherhood was not a terrorist organization. (The Muslim Brotherhood is a the largest and oldest terror organization and very active here in the US and around the world).
Finally, what people do not understand (and I didn’t initially either) is Muslims are unique in their supremacy and lies. They are unable to live amongst any other people. All that one needs to do is look at the nations they are in and see how many other religions or cultures are left. After they’ve driven out or killed everyone, they fight and kill each other. Syria is a perfect example. Then Western nations give them aid and take their “refugees.” The US is the largest supporter of aid to Syria and has many Syria refugees in the US.

I know that, but he helps make my point.
