First hostage release brings fresh proof that Hamas must be destroyed

2023-11-25

...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
’ first hostage release has confirmed some very telling facts about the terrorists: 1) They’re ruthless liars; 2) they’ll victimize anyone they can, and 3) they think they can get America to break with Israel.

One of those released Friday was Hannah Katzir, 77 — a woman whom Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
(the No. 2 terror group based in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
) repeatedly announced days ago was killed by an Israeli ~~Arclight~~ airstrike
...KABOOM!...
That is, PIJ reported her as dead for pure propaganda purposes — to make the world think the Israeli government was killing hostages.

The lie had at least two purposes — to increase divisions with Israel, and to tar Israel’s global image (the strike really must be "indiscriminate" if they’re killing their own people, you were supposed to think).

Fine: It’s no surprise that hard boyz lie — but US and world media keep giving Hamas’ claims equal footing with anything Israel’s government says, even when it comes to such long-established and widely reported facts as the way Hamas had major terror bases around and even in the al-Shifa hospital.

Also freed were 10 Thai nationals and one citizen of the Philippines — farmworkers who’d been swept up by the hard boyz amid the Oct. 7 atrocities.

That is: The raiders grabbed with zero discrimination — anyone in Israel was a target, even people who plainly weren’t Israelis or Jews.

Again, not news: After all, those killed on Oct. 7 also included Arab Moslems, and Hamas and PIJ also treat ordinary Gazooks as their cattle — looting foreign and humanitarian aid

for the cause, firing on civilians who try to flee rather than serve as human shields, etc.

Finally, note that no US citizens were released: The hard boyz clearly intend to hang on to their American captives as long as possible, as leverage over Washington.

Without a doubt, Hamas and PIJ see Biden administration support for Israel as soft: They want it to make Israel agree to a "permanent" cease-fire, or at least to greatly extend this one so they can resupply as much as possible from all the humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza.

So they want as many as possible American families besieging the White House on behalf of their loved ones.

If the cease-fire ends with Americans still held hostage, we guarantee the hard boyz will soon claim the Israelis have killed one of them — and if that doesn’t work, they’ll kill an innocent themselves to produce the "proof."

All of which goes to the central fact of this war: Hamas (and PIJ) must be eradicated, or the words "never again" have no meaning left.

#3 Not a surprise. People that work would have been of no use to Hamas.

#2 I do notice no Americans among the ones released.

But if I were Hamas and had noticed Joe paying Iran $6B for Amerian hostages there, I wouldn't release any American hostages for free, either. The example has been set.
