Hamas is no less savage as the Islamic State, the Taliban and al-Qaeda, all of whom proudly parade their atrocities in order to terrorize and grieve their victims, their families and everyone else they target. They use any and all means of psychological warfare.
Far too many leftist leaders put their faith in Hamas by refusing to recognize the obvious: if Israel stops its war with a ceasefire, Hamas will regroup and double down. Such a decision by Israel would send a message to Iran and its other proxies.
“Hamas wages psychological warfare by posting final messages from murdered hostages,” World Israel News, September 3, 2024:
Continuing its commonly-used tactic of psychological warfare, Hamas released videos of 6 hostages before murdering them.
In the videos released Monday, the hostages, looking gaunt, tired, and mistreated, introduce themselves.
The footage indicates there will be additional videos later.
The hostages featured are the six whose bodies were found by the IDF on Saturday: Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Alex Lobanov, Carmel Gat, and Almog Sarusi.
Hamas has repeatedly released videos with hostages making statements they were forced to say by their captors.
It isn’t clear when the video was taken, but the hostages were shot at close range two to three days before the IDF recovered their bodies.
On Sunday, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that the six captives appeared to have been executed by their captors “a short time” before Israeli soldiers located them….

When will this war crime and crime against humanity be addressed and by whom?
ICC, where are you, have you given up any notion of legality?
Illegal hostage taking 7 October 2033, illegal treatment/torture of the hostages, illegal display of them in their misery, and finally illegal murder of the hostages!
Can it even be legal to express sympathy with the criminals and the “religion” which they use as a cover for their crimes?
Can their “holy book” which is the source of inspiration for all this evil be legal?
Ben says
No deal is better than a terrible deal and a terrible deal is releasing convicted & imprisoned Pali murderers and terrorists in exchange for the hostages because that will only lead to more hostage takings, terror attacks and bloodshed in the future by those who are released. Sinwar was released as part of the Shalit deal and look how that turned out. The family members and leftard protesters demanding a deal at any cost (basically a terrible deal) are guided by emotions, shortsightedness and selfishness.
Troybeam says
If I was a Jewish hostage held by Hamas I would expect my government to lay waste the Hamas in Gaza or wherever I was taken to because I would know I would not be allowed to live.
Family would know this because at some time its a dinner conversation on reality in dealing with those that hate, may not survive but the other party would also not hurt another person(s).
Edward says
I hope at some point people will realize that most of the people of Gaza and Hamas are all the same people, they think and act the same and should be shown no mercy for their actions. Remove them all from existence. Until then, nothing will change.
Nabil Bissada says
Yehia Al Sanwar is a terrorist become the leader of Hamas the Islamic terrorist organization.
Yehia Al Sanwar is acting same as the leaders of ISIS, Boco Haram, no conscience, no morality and no humanity.
The Koran and the sharia law allowed Yehia Al Sanwar to kill the hostages, until it’s forbidden by the United Nation.
In time no one in any Muslims countries in the Middle East has the rights to protest for supporting Hamas.
The western countries by purpose or ignorant allowed Muslims to protest to support these terrorists’ organizations under the freedom, human rights and democracy!
No way to make a deal with Muslims terrorists they will never respect their promises until if they sign.
Take back the Israeli hostages first and after destroy Hamas. And be sure all Muslims countries in the Middle East will support you. Because they do not want Hamas as a terrorist organization close to their boards.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.
Rick Gordon says
Again demonstrating their inhumanity and barbarism. They should not be accepted/tolerated by civilized societies.
Johanna Jahns says
Why is Nazism banned and Islam treated mildly?
CalvinsLutheran says
The Lefties the Libbies and the entire WOKE population do not seem to perceive that they are immediately NEXT. Foolishness at this level is 2 Thessalonians 2nd Chapter, 2nd Chapter of Romans, and Ephesians 6:10-12. Of course the effects of DAMNATION are not always and necessarily visible to the DAMNED. I myself could even possibly be so indeed! I pray for us all but the Left seems to be Redemption-proof. The Right appears (at least appears to) have hope. The Right knows what a woman is, recognizes only 2 genders, and has no such abysmal absurdity as Queers for Hamas to it’s credit and shame. Imagine Sodom and Gomorrah for fire🔥 and brimstone. With Eurabia in bas relief, imploding under its own doggedly insistent implementation, the Left in North America sees open borders as a viable and quite desirable option. Could it be that we’re under attack by some cerebrally disintegrative radiation ☢️ secret weapon? How effing stupid are we gonna get? I’m standing at the edge of a cliff holding my arms outstretched palms facing a speeding car saying stop ✋ and apparently need to move over to the side and THEN issue my warning, otherwise I’m more stupid than that FOOL speeding towards me.

I have my own theory on that. Not about why Nazism is banned, but why, as you ask, “Islam is treated mildly”. There’s only one reason, that I’ve come up with, and that is, that they will be needed, during the middle of the “coming soon” 7 year Tribulation.
But if I told it, and I have many times on this site, none of it makes sense to anyone. Only those that know most of what is explained in Revelation, or bible prophecy, or about the 7 year Tribulation will truely “get it”. But I’ll try to explain some of it here.
It has to do with Rev 20:7 (if you have no bible, and to be able to see what this says, place it in your browsers search box), where this verse tells what happens to the ones, or what the “punishment” is to all the Christians all over the world, because they’ll all refuse Satan’s mark!
All the muslims in all the NON-muslim countries are all welcome or “treated nicely”, as you put it, because they will be needed to do what it says in that verse!
(because satan will be a physical human man at the half way point of the 7 year Tribulaton, and CANNOT be all over the world to “punish” those Christians who will NOT take or refuse his mark). So he’ll need his followers in all of these NON muslim countries to “punish” them (or do what it says in Rev 20:7), during this time of the 7 year Tribulation.
Because the majority of muslims have hate and anger, toward these Godly people, already, maybe even more than Satan himself….and would be more than happy to work…for the man!
Now, the countries that are a majority already of muslim, won’t need anymore muslims to “punish” those Christians in THEIR land, as there are enough of them (muslims), in their own land, understandably.
So your view?
CalvinsLutheran says
Because of the materialistic secular philosophical mindset of the West our conceptual framework does NOT have the ability to REALIZE AND MENTALLY ACTUALIZE THE IMMEDIATE PRESENCE AND WORK OF DEMONS. This is the activity of alien 👽 beings inhuman and capable of bottomless cruelty. Superhuman in intelligence and guile. All past cultures have acknowledged their existence for millennia but today with the workings of 2Thessalonians in full manifestation we cannot grasp Ephesians 6:10-12. Basically LOST. The UN and all of it’s auxiliaries have been the bastions of Alice Bailey, Annie Besant, and Madame H P Blavatsky for a century in plain view with not a single recognition of that fact. Do we actually think that a demonically anti-Semitic institution will produce ANYTHING REMOTELY BENEVOLENT TOWARDS ISRAEL? That in itself is just as demonic as Hamas.

There is no differnce between ISIS and Hamas. Many ‘palestinians’ went to join the so called caliphate thinking like many Mooselimbs their hour had come. The ones that escaped the coalition’s war on ISIS returned to Gaza to carry on the fight.
OLD GUY says
Islam is just plain EVIL. At some point if the western governments don’t stop it our citizens will have too.
Naja says
Thank you Christine. It is so frustrating for me to watch what is happening, especially in the US, Canada and Europe.
Why is it so hard to convince honest, God fearing folks that the enemy is upon us? I don’t think that it is a time for waiting.
somehistory says
satan the devil is the source of this evil. As Jesus said, “You are from your father, the devil; and you wish to do the desires of your father.” He also addressed satan as “The thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy.”
The families of the hostages are under extreme distress; but they should realize that hamas will never live up to any kind of honest “deal” to get the hostages back.
In their demands, which include many murderers and terrorists in Israel’s prisons being released, (as sin war was), and that Israel cease trying to stop future attacks, there is no guarantee that any Jews remain alive.
If a deal was made, and terrorists released for the hostages’ return, then those terrorists would be taking hostages in the future and murdering them….just as sin war has done.
One can only imagine how the hostages felt as they were held and tortured in various ways and how the families must feel. But making deals with thugs, ghouls, criminals never works for the good of people.

It figures…U.S. may make a ‘deal’ with hamas
