Israel’s military never gave a damn about the hostages. Or the scores killed on October 7th as part of the Hannibal directive.

There is something so incredibly, pathologically moronic and demonic about creating a desolation of living things to create peace. The stupidity of Hamas and Netanyahu's Israel is mind-boggling. Add in Donald Trump and his boasting about having created peace in the Middle East reads like the horror story it is. Lies, lies, lies. All for profit and gain. Somebody made a profit off of all those bombs. Somebody's stock went up every time another person's child was killed or maimed. Violence begets violence. It never solves anything. But the guns, the bombs, the tanks...they all make someone's portfolio grow. A better world is possible, but not with these lawless, bloodthirsty, and inept creeps in charge.

Hamas did not create that desolation. That is all on Israel.

An "ex"-IDF Israeli named Milshtein just admitted what has been widely known, and widely denied, for most of this year, that Israel has been funding and arming terrorists in Palestine specifically to oppose Hamas.

The most well known such group supplied and armed by Israel is led by "ex"-ISIS/ISIL terrorist Yasser Abu Shabab. His terrorist gang's primary job was to raid aid trucks, back when aid trucks were allowed, specifically so Israel could lie and blame Hamas for stealing aid trucks! The chutzpah. Months ago it was reported that Abu Shabab collected a paycheck from the so-called Palestinian Authority, but it appears Israel is now admitting that no matter who appeared to be paying him, the source of his funding was Israel.

"Michael Milshtein, head of the Palestinian Studies Forum at Tel Aviv University and a former IDF intelligence officer, said Hamas has seized the clans’ weapons and money, much of it originating from Israel, drawing parallels to Hezbollah’s takeover of southern Lebanon in 2000. "This leaves Israel in a dilemma," he warned. "If the Israeli military ends up protecting these clans, we risk starting another war with Hamas. If we abandon them, we may have to absorb them later, like the allies we evacuated from Lebanon."

Hamas is mopping up these terrorists and other traitors and collaborators which causes Israel to raise a stink and invert the truth in the mainstream media.

Regardless, even in this Fox News article, if you ignore the rhetoric and just focus on the facts and quotations, it's a damning indictment of what Israel has been doing in Gaza and other Palestinian areas, and without the prying eyes of U.N. groups or Red Crescent or international journalists, all of whom have been treated by the IDF as legitimate targets for assassination by Israel.

This also underscores that ISIS is essentially a projection of Israel. Just like the ISIS terrorist ruling Syria today. Just like years-old statements by ISIS that they had no hostile intentions toward Israel. Just like Israel providing medical care for ISIS terrorists years ago. Just like ISIS apologizing to Israel one time an errant rocket landed in Isntreal.

I doubt the IDF would have bombed the shit out of Gaza, if Netanyahu's son, or any other member of Netanyahu's cabinet sons, had been taken hostage on October the 7th.

Mind you, that probably never happened, as they were probably told to stay away from the musical festival by their fathers, who probably knew what Hamas was planning to do.

No doubt. The Big Jew throws the Little Jew under the Bus whenever necessary. Didn't Herzl state persecutions against Jews in Europe helped the Zionist cause more than anything else?

The IDF are saying it's likely the bombs killed the hostages. What absolute bullshit. I'd like to see how many of their generals would survive the equivalent of 13 Hiroshima bombs dropped all around and on top of them.

Shaun, what you say is true. It is not rocket science....that, this is what bombs do. I appreciate your clarity and honesty. We all knew this, because, this is what bombs, munitions and violence do. What is most painful is that Israel NEVER prioritized the hostages and bringing them home. Israel prioritized war and the US funded it. Heartbreaking. PS. I hope you are healing well from your surgeries.

Bombing to save lives. That's a ridiculous statement. It's like saying "I'm pouring petrol on a fire to put it out. Preposterous.

And if the Israeli government & military were actually concerned about saving ordinary Israeli citizens lives, then they wouldn't have instigated the Hannibal directive on Oct 7th.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu's son, is escaping the draft, by working in California, I believe.

Yes, Hamas has exposed Israel for what it truly is which is a State willing to kill thousands of Children for their Land.

I don't understand how the body was kept for 2 years though. And also why the IDF didn't retrieve it in 2years since they had access to all of Gaza. Surely Hamas hasn't been carrying the body for 2 years, right?

From what I read: Many bodies were buried underneath lots of rubble from those bombs. Probably took awhile to sift through that destruction.

On top of all that — on top of Israel's utter indifference to the fate of the hostages, who were valued by the clique of Nazis who run Israel, if at all, for usefulness as props for hasbara (propaganda) — all of the hostages could have been retrieved alive, if not for the war criminals' blind, unreasoning hatred and racist contempt for Palestinians, and their blood-thirst for the latters' extermination (and greed to steal their land).

Hamas offered to release every hostage and POW, in return for Israel's not invading Gaza, on October 9th — two days after the the great prison escape and Al Aqsa Flood.

Netanyahu and his criminal gang turned them down flat. After all, they didn't want all the months and even years of meticulous planning that went into preparation for carrying out a Holocaust to go for nothing. Especially now that Donny the Drooling Dunce was in their pocket.

Makes it easier to understand why Mossad had no qualms about bringing down the Twin Towers in NYC during the 911 Attacks. Who cares if thousands of American Citizens could possibly die.

Netanyahu needed the hostages as a reason to continue the war, with the purpose of owning Gaza (and pleasing trump). Netanyahu will try everything, even continuing the war, to reach his aim, and trump supports him.

From what has recently been made public, Is@iL has intentionally killed other Jews a number of times in the past, not to mention the attack on the USS Liberty which was coordinated by the United States with Israel as a test of the effectiveness of their weapons. There were over 200 Sailors on the ship, they were bombarded for nearly two days and they still could not sink the ship, apparently no one thought the history of this even would get out.
