Just in case you still weren’t convinced that this was an Islamic jihad, not a conflict over land that can be solved through negotiations.
“Now when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks until, when you have subdued them, then make fast the bonds, and afterward either generosity or ransom until the war lays down its burdens. That, and if Allah willed, he could have punished them, but so that he may test some of you by means of others. And those who have been killed in the way of Allah, he does not make their actions useless.” (Qur’an 47:4)
“Sinwar’s instructions for holding the hostages revealed,” Israel National News, October 25, 2024:
The Palestinian Arab newspaper al-Quds published three documents in the handwriting of former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar which contain instructions regarding the guarding of the Israeli hostages, their distribution in each area, and the names of the hostages, including those who were released in the first deal last November.
The first document includes the instructions regarding the hostages and it states that the lives of the abductees must be preserved because “they are an important card” to free terrorists imprisoned in Israel. Sinwar included quotes from the Koran on the subject.
The second document included a statistical breakdown of the hostages in each area – men, women, soldiers, civilians, young people, people over sixty or under sixty. This document also specifies where Bedouin hostages were held….

Wasn’t he really nice ghoul? didn’t say to murder the hostages, but to keep them as a ‘card’ to use to free other ghouls like him.
Hudders. says
Such loving kindness hey @SH?
So kind of him to share his directives, straight out of the terrorist handbook from hell, that qur’an; also known as the devil penned guide book of cruelty, slaughter, murder & death.
I guess Sinwar will be enjoying his reward right now, for penning these evil instructions.
Ghoul is indeed the perfect word to describe he & his awful kind.
From the Cambridge Directionary:
Ghoul: an evil spirit that eats dead bodies
(informal)
someone who is very interested in death and unpleasant things.
somehistory says
Thank you very much, Hudders. One can’t get any worse than being a ghoul.
Hudders. says
I spelt ‘Dictionary’ wrong!!! 🙂
The irony. Shot myself in the foot there ha ha.
somehistory says
I like the word….”Directionary”…you coined. Not to worry, Hudders. I didn’t even notice. But, I’m going to remember your new word. Sounds like a book of maps or one on how to direct our lives,

Hudders, I think that every frequent commenter here has a few typos in their history. No big deal.

This should not surprise–these poor people were kidnapped on this basis to begin with.

The “main” problem here remains. The main problem is Islam.
My God, the obfuscations, ignorance and outright denial of this some 23 years after 9/11 (and over 46,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide since then) serves as ipso facto evidence of the immensely awful reality that mankind much of the time is a sad-ass effing idiot, occasionally “relieved” by greatness like the development of democracy in ancient Athens, the development of the scientific method in early modern Europe and the creation of the only polity deliberately established with less, not more, government in mind, i.e. what the Founding Fathers of America constructed (and which the Left in America is presently in the process of destroying).
What a waste of enormous potential and Islam quite arguably “leads the pack” here in this waste. There are other “contenders” like Marxism and Nazism, and the idiotic modern Left in the West, but Islam remains for me the longest-lived malevolent ideology in the history of mankind and it should have been assigned to the trash heap of history long ago and the fact that it hasn’t been fills me with remorse. Time for a beer. .
Taffy says
Those in power (e.g. Blinken), unfortunately, appear to be ignorant that Islam is the problem, and the Jihadists do not think rationally. The Jihadists’ goal is what the devil’s book, the Qu’ran tells them to do, and not what would truly advance their cause such as peacefully living next to Israel and building a society to benefit the Gazans. No one in their right mind would start a war where his people are guaranteed to take a shellacking and have a poor quality of life with no infrastructure for the next 10 years or so,
The probability of those who start wars and coming out on top in the end is very small. Hitler, the Japs, Sadam, etc. come to mind. Iran should also know not to start military skirmishes. When they tried to stifle Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil shipments by firing on their tankers and mining the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. under Reagan destroyed half of the Iranian Navy in one day.
Johanna Jahns says
They think rationally in their own frame. Muslimness is based on a deal with Allah – giving him this life in the expectation of a much better one in Jannah. They do it all for reward (and, on the other hand, to avoid eternal punishment)
Western strategy to deal with this problem is completely wrong.

Yes, it’s completely wrong.
James Lincoln says
Johanna Jahns,
Excellent post – a homerun.
Philip says
I completely agree with you. The United States, and citizens en masse, should have declared war on islam after 9/11, instead of trying to appease them.

Good exchange.

UK: THE GPU FESTIVAL – MY WEEKEND WITH THE DEVIL – 1:54
The first GPU festival in eleven years was just held at the Excel London exhibition and convention centre. Organised by the Islam Channel, it is a reboot of the near-annual festival that was held six times between 2005 and 2013 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Historically this festival has given a platform to a range of extremist speakers – and this year certainly did not let that tradition down.
Although it bills itself as the ‘largest multicultural event in Europe’, there is only one real culture on show, and as 50,000+ Muslims entered its halls, the Excel London was turned into a radicalisation chamber for two whole days.
I sat and heard this open admiration for atrocities committed by a proscribed terrorist group at the Excel – one of London’s premier venues – and nobody bats an eye. At this point it really is difficult to see how London can offer a safe future to British Jews.
There are no caveats or conditions to the information provided – without being explicit it provides cover for every terrorist atrocity.
And it was time to go home and have a shower.
The pro-terrorist message was everywhere. And the more you listen to the careful statements – and coded messages – the more you realise how widespread these sentiments are in this community. Nobody questions the pro-terrorist drumbeat.
And this is not hidden away in some local hall in Bradford or Dewsbury. It is taking place at the Excel London. If the UK cannot see the problem – if even London’s greatest venues are willing to play host to all this – there really is not much left to discuss. David Collier

Thaks for that link, Naomi–first I have heard of this “peace festival”–just perverse.
And too many Infidels are fine with pretending that Islam is a “religion of peace”. We contribute to a fair number of charities, and sometimes charities will send us a package of holiday cards hoping we will send them a check–this is not unusual.
But one of the cards Save the Children sent to us this season says “Peace” and has a few blocks of images on it–a girl with a present, a boy with a soccer ball, a dove, a tree–and a single building, which is, despite the abstract style, *clearly a Mosque*. What is peaceful about Mosques, where violent Jihad is preached? Also just perverse.
somehistory says
Every day, Naomi, there is another boatload of evidence that the entire evil agenda of mozlums is to force their way on the rest of us, make us pay to not bow (completely) or murder us with the lust they all feel.
Thanks for the account.
