Gaza Ceasefire Problem: Hamas Says 40 Hostages Are ‘Missing' ‐ And Doesn't Know Who's Holding Them
2023-11-29
[Messenger] "They're dead, Jim". Well, your terrorists kidnapped them (a war crime). You pay
Most of those still living are in Palestinian Islamic Jihad hands, the rest held by those with a simpler profit motive, perhaps. And the Hamas leadership knows perfectly well who has each of them, and where.

#7  After they were captured, somebody did web research and found out who's family had money, who was influential, and who was likely to be 'ideologically' turned.
Some of this will be quietly worked, and some will be ugly.

#6  I'm surprised any of the hostages have survived.

Remember that Paleos are just 'Bedouins in one place' and the Bedouin culture actively promoted kidnapping for ransom. They would try to keep their 'assets' alive in order to receive payment.

#4  this truce is a travesty. Assume all Israeli hostages are dead and resume killing Hamas. There are casualties in a war.

#3  Hamas say they are willing to extend truce for four more days which would allow them to locate and free hostages held by other groups, after 12 more captives were freed overnight

#2  ...Somebody in Tel Aviv needs to say, "Proof of life on every last hostage, or we go back to beating you like a rented mule."

#1  Simple answer, execute 400 Paleo prisoners a day til they are returned. If you run out, get some more.

Carthage Solution for Gaza!
