Hamas: It doesn't matter how many hostages are still alive

[Kaatje]

A senior Hamas member said that the 10-month-old Kfir Bibas "paid the price because of the occupation."​

When asked how a 10-month-old baby and four-year-old boy could take action to pressure the Israeli government, Hamad simply repeated that "they have to exert pressure on Israel, their government, in order to tell them that you are going in the wrong way."
The Hamas leader said that the Bibas family "paid the price because of the occupation."

Hamas has claimed in recent days that Kfir, Ariel, and their mother Shiri were killed after being kidnapped on October 7. The terrorist movement published a video of Shiri's husband on Thursday as part of its psychological warfare efforts. The IDF has stressed that it has as of yet been unable to confirm Hamas's claims.

I don't think Hamas knows how many hostages they have or even where many of them are located.

Probably don't know and they surely don't care.

The more I read about Hamas and hostages, I'm not sure they have anyone left to release. More and more reports keep coming out about hostages who have died in captivity. Israel has stated 11 of the hostages were diabetic. There has to be others with chronic conditions, blood pressure, cholesterol etc. many others on daily meds they are not getting. The red cross has refused to take in meds more than once. The only thing they are doing is transporting a couple of miles.

Maybe that is why they didn't release anymore hostages today and broke the cease-fire? You can never believe anything Hamas does or says.

Makes me sick.

I saw that story about the red headed woman and her two toddler twins, Hamas kept leading Israel to believe they were still alive to be released and suddenly they said, well actually, now they're dead. Awful for their family.

Praying for the hostages and families.

As said above- most are probably dead now

Israel will need proof of life for any further hostage deals.

WARNING: Icky topic in this post

The women have probably been raped over and over until Hamas is sure they're pregnant. "Rape rooms" are common islamic methods of war/terror/torture/psych warfare/forcible "conversion" and reward for fighters. If one or more women ended up not pregnant, that could account for some of the delays in release.


Likely at least some of the "missing" or "dead" women have been trafficked and forcibly married and raped by their "husbands." Human trafficking brings a lot of money, usually hard currency, but can also be in the form of intermediary services for otherwise-embargoed/sanctioned purchases (weapons, etc.) As chattel/property, captured and kidnapped women (and underage girls) are also often given to terrorists/soldiers for wives as rewards for service/accomplishments

These people give animals a bad name. How perverse humans are in the absence of God!

Hamas says it will return bodies of four hostages including Bibas family

Seeing the confirmation breaking news that the 2 children and mother are deceased was very disheartening. I didn't hear how long ago this may have occurred but the timing of getting the news would have never been good even though 500 days of hope now are futile.

The babies were strangled to death by the Gazan "civilians" who held them. I don't mind if the Gazans get what's coming to them. I can pray one thing for them - that somehow God will give them troubling dreams to lead them to Christ for salvation. I don't want them to perish without that last chance.

But after that moment to reflect- it's time to carry out a death sentence on these criminals.

Like any mass murderers and rapists, I would like to see them put to death- along with the ones that Israel had to give up to get the hostages or their bodies! With prayers that they will turn to Christ first before their sentence is carried out. Just as we should do with people who commit these crimes anywhere. A moment to think, but the knowledge of a sure and certain death in the near future.
