We anxiously await Hamas’ reaction to Trump's ultimatum . “All hostages or hell”.
Last week the world saw with their own eyes the reality of Hamas as they paraded the emaciated hostages .
The previously released hostages had been held in better, although appalling conditions, and Hamas were using their release as a propaganda tool .
It does seem those remaining are the ones who have been held in dark caves, shackled and clearly so starved that they no longer serve their “Pallywood” purpose : Hence it is Hamas who have called off the ceasefire by declaring there will be no release as agreed this Shabbat .
Under extreme pressure from the Biden administration Israel was supplying the enemy food; a lot of food and aid, but the enemy were denying the hostages even basic human rights, not feeding them, and subjecting them to torture and beatings .
The so called innocent civilians who had been moved to relative safety by the IDF have now poured back into areas where they will be once again be used as human shields by their protector Hamas if war breaks out again .
All leave for southern units has been cancelled in Israel and the reserves are once again being called up for duty .
The tragedy of this war is that the harsh stance being taken by President Trump should have been taken by that “ rag doll” Biden day one, and this war could have been over very quickly and the hostages would have been released saving thousands of lives .
There is intelligence showing the original very short siege on Gaza was working . Ten days without food and the hostages would have been thrown back to Israel and the Gazans would have quickly turned on a weakened Hamas .
Biden and Harris actively emboldened Hamas courting liberal votes with a lot of hand wringing and little action .
The western press bought into every lie, mouthing the theatrical nonsense the Arab press was peddling and quoting from the Hamas health ministry. The public sucked it up and painted Israel as the “bogey man” of the world , giving birth to a resurrected anti semitism not seen since the 1930’s. .
Genocide , famine , All Eyes on Rafah, were the new click bait, and now it’s ethnic cleansing.
There certainly was an attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing on October 7th with babies massacred and ripped alive from their mother’s womb . Families assassinated in their beds, but it was Jewish families and those around them, not Palestinian families : they were the perpetrators of the biggest crimes against the Jews since the Nazis. And then the world demanded we should feed them !!
We now see the famine , and it’s not the fat Palestinians holding their mobiles who are starved .
Yes, tens of thousands Palestinians tragically died: not because Israelis wanted them to be hurt, but because they continue to support Hamas who use them as human shields, and even then they openly celebrate martyrdom , feeling proud that their family died in the resistance . The resistance includes the original PLO’s call to “throw the Jews into the sea”. The day of judge will not come until Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. ( Hamas’ words) Not much room there for negotiation !
The PA are trying to pretend to stop their “play to slay” scheme , but it’s just a cynical ploy with the money coming from a different ministry .
After more than 16 months of war, Hamas continue to be a tyrannical death cult and Israel has not yet destroyed them sufficiently to guarantee our safety .
76 hostages remain in Gaza with 35 confirmed murdered.
138 have been rescued alive and 41 brought back dead.
The loss of life in Israel is approaching 2,000 with tens of thousands injured .
Over 70,000 people remain displaced .
It now seems inevitable that there is going to be another round of fighting, but the harder Trump comes down on Hamas, and the more support he gives Israel in both word and deed the quicker this nightmare can be over .
We can only pray that’s he is as good as his word and Hamas comply and return all the hostages this week .
Kind Regards
