There are two possible reasons why Hamas has not returned the bodies of the Israeli hostages: either because they disposed of many altogether, or the bodies will serve as evidence of barbaric, systematic abuse by Hamas, or both. Hamas has been benefitting from global propaganda, and it doesn’t want the truth revealed about what it really is: a group of savage jihadists with no respect for infidel life. It will go to any length to cover up what it is. But Hamas can only lie so far. It now finds itself in a bind, since Israel awaits the return of the remains of the hostages as part of the ceasefire deal. The world watches.
“Hamas fakes unearthing partial remains of hostage whose body IDF recovered in 2023, Israel says,” by Emanuel Fabian, Lazar Berman and Sam Sokol, Times of Israel, October 28, 2025:
A casket handed over by Hamas on Monday night to Israel contained the partial remains of Ofir Tzarfati, a hostage whose body was recovered by the military in early December 2023, Israeli officials said.
In addition to not returning the bodies of any of the 13 dead hostages still held in the Gaza Strip, Hamas staged a fake “discovery” of Tzarfati’s remains in eastern Gaza City in front of the Red Cross.
Israel has said Hamas has access to many of the remaining bodies and is dragging its feet in returning them, which it is required to do under the terms of the US-backed ceasefire agreement.
On Monday afternoon, Hamas brought the remains of Tzarfati out of a building and placed them in a large hole it had dug in the ground in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City. It then covered the body bag in dirt and pretended to uncover it for the first time in front of the Red Cross…

It’s OK; muslims think kidnapping is just for fun. What’s wrong with you that you don’t?

Now we’re talking, and throw in all the other Islamic gangs around the world.

The way Hamas treated the hostages is well known from anybody willing to hear the accounts of the survivors who have been returned so far. Despite that, world opinion hasn’t turned against them, since the world is far more antisemitic than it was in 1991, after Operation Desert Storm, when the US got the UN General Assembly to deprecate the resolution equating Zionism to racism
More likely, they can’t produce the bodies b’cos they had handed them over to other parties in the region, who have zero interest in returning them: unlike Hamas, they’re not under a direct threat by Israel

Yes.
But why?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Clinton, Bush 43, Obama and Biden. Oh, and there’s a ripple effect from TDS. Since Trump is, or at least was, pro-Israel in 2016-2020, and all those people have TDS, they hate Israel too as a result

Marketing, politics and more Muslims in the West who have free rein to be violent thugs, inclusion in “human rights orgs”.
Third reason to not return the hostages’ bodies. Emotionally torturing Israelis, which Hamas enjoys and is supported in doing so by equally cruel Westerners.

࿗Infidel࿘, carpediadem,
Sounds about right.
Thank you for your replies.

The bodies don’t matter,once we die the spirit leaves to be with the Lord or to be held in hell until the judgment

This is true But there are several points you are not considering–Muslims consider mutilating the dead and not giving them the possibility of a proper burial is a victory for them. Then–even more concerning–how do we know that all of these hostages are dead? They may still be alive, either “missing”–in the hands of other Gazans–or tortured by Hamas. Do you really consider this of no consequence?

They just forgot where they pit them!

Why should Israel have to continue to pretend that these barbarians are rational partners?
