Hamas attacks Israel
- Thread starter Serryah
- Start date
Hamas has released a video on Telegram on Monday showing the six recently slain hostages speaking into a camera, while also announcing that it will release their "last message to the world" before they were killed.
In the video, all six hostages whose bodies were found by the IDF on Sunday are seen confirming their identities before cutting to a still frame threatening to release their “last messages.” But…Israel/IDF/Bibi killed them in an aerial bombardment which left these hostages with close range bullet wounds while they were underground…

Were these hostages held in a tunnel under a School/Hospital/Daycare (?) because if so, & munitions where stored with the hostages (?)…then maybe both sides are telling the truth, but from different perspectives due to secondary explosions gang-firing in the ammunition dump in the tunnel under the hospital at the bottom of the sea.
U.S., Israel-Hamas Mediators Have Lost Faith in Netanyahu, PM's Intentions for Gaza Deal
An Israeli official added that Netanyahu has been raising 'one obstacle after another' in the cease-fire and hostage deal negotiations. After the IDF recovered the bodies of six Israeli hostages from Gaza on Sunday, it is unclear whether the negotiations will speed up or be buried once and for all
Senior officials from the Biden administration and from other countries currently mediating talks between Israel and Hamas have lost their faith in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stated intentions to reach a cease-fire and hostage release deal.

So, will the usuals here condemn these people as "Anti-Semitic" because they want Netanyahu to sign a deal?
I mean, how dare Jews in Israel hold their Government accountable for abandoning their hostages and using them as an excuse for genocide...
But that's anti-semitic, right?
THESE people are the ones in the right here, not the Government.
I keep telling them...."Zionists aren't Jewish". We're just pissing into the propaganda wind.x.com

They’re probably not even human…but then are there Jewish Zionists (like baby pigeons…a thing that exists but you rarely see if you don’t recognize them for what they are?) that might actually be a ‘thing’ that’s not fictional? I know it doesn’t sound plausible….But just maybe it’s possible.
Weirdly when I googled the two below questions, and look at the top three results…they are the same?

Hamas' armed wing said on Monday that since June the group has been operating under new instructions on how to handle hostages should Israeli forces approach their locations in Gaza.
The announcement comes days after the Israeli military recovered the bodies of six hostages from a tunnel in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, saying they had been shot dead by their captors as Israeli forces got close.
Abu Ubaida, spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, did not provide details on what the instructions were. He said his group holds Israel responsible for the hostages' deaths.
The new instructions, Ubaida said, were given to guards of hostages after a rescue operation by Israel in June. At that time, Israeli forces freed four hostages in a raid in which dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, were killed.
(Not mentioned is why the Israeli hostages abducted October 7th in a “military pressure” where being kept in amongst woman & children and how a mutual firefight then happened in regaining those four hostages…but that’s probably propaganda)
"Netanyahu's insistence to free prisoners through military pressure, instead of sealing a deal, means they will be returned to their families in shrouds. Their families must choose if the want them dead or alive," he said.

Later on Monday, the Hamas armed wing published a pre-recorded video of one of the six dead hostages. It was unclear when the video was made.
Netanyahu said in a press conference on Monday that the hostages had been shot in the back of the head, and promised that Hamas would pay a heavy price.
Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said Netanyahu's accusations against Hamas were an attempt to escape responsibility for their deaths.
"Netanyahu killed the six prisoners and he is determined to kill the remaining ones. The Israelis should choose between Netanyahu or the deal," Abu Zuhri said.

Jewish CUPE members express concern as union doubles-down on leader's comments

CUPE Ontario has reaffirmed confidence in President Fred Hahn, despite calls for his resignation from the union's national executive.
Despite several locals and even the union’s national executive calling for his resignation, CUPE Ontario’s affirmation of their leader and his controversial statements about Israel has alarmed its Jewish members.
In a statement over the weekend from CUPE Ontario, the union reaffirmed its confidence in CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn, under fire for a string of problematic social media posts which critics say are anti-Semitic.
“The CUPE Ontario Executive Board wants to reiterate its commitment to fighting for the rights of the Palestinian people, and the right of workers to be able to advocate for solidarity with Palestine,” read the statement.
“At this week’s planning session, members of CUPE Ontario’s executive board took the opportunity to pass motions in support of Brother Hahn as both CUPE General VP and as CUPE Ontario’s president.”
That affirmation sparked anger among Jewish CUPE members, who contend that Hahn’s position has become increasingly anti-Semitic, fostering an increasingly perilous situation for Jews in organized labour.
“For all of these people who keep saying it’s just Jewish people with their feelings hurt, this isn’t about hurt feelings — it’s about hate towards Jews,” said CUPE member Carrie Silverberg.
“It’s about celebrating Oct. 7, it still goes back to that … there’s never been any accountability for that first statement, and it’s continued and (Hahn) has dug in harder.”
Silverberg is a plaintiff in a human rights complaint by CUPE’s Jewish members against their union.
She said Jewish CUPE members feel increasingly isolated and alone, facing increasing levels of hate from both within and outside their union.
Jewish unionists reacted with alarm over Hahn’s Oct. 7 post, where he gleefully likened the deadly Hamas terror attack to legitimate forms of resistance.
“As we all think about reasons to be thankful this #thanksgiving2023, I know I’m thankful for the power of workers, the power of resistance around the globe,” he posted on X Oct. 8.
“Because #Resistance is fruitful and no matter what some might say, #Resistance brings progress, and for that, I’m thankful.”
On Aug. 11, Hahn shared a Facebook post depicting an AI-generated Olympic diver, wearing a Star of David on his arm, leaping from the springboard before turning into a bomb and falling on houses, purportedly criticism of Israel’s ongoing campaign to eradicate Hamas terrorists from Gaza.
That post prompted CUPE’s national executive to call for Hahn’s resignation from his position on their board, and castigation from both Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his labour minister, David Piccini, who accused Hahn of being anti-Semitic and urged the labour leader to “stop hating Jews.”

Hamas just executed six hostages in cold blood apparently as a negotiation tactic.

Michael Higgins: Shame on Trudeau for wanting to give in to Hamas after executions — National Post
It is foolish to think a deal can be struck with terrorists who murder hostages as a negotiating tactic
Shooting the six hostages in the back of the head last week, Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that unless a deal was agreed the other hostages would be returned in coffins.
After the executions, a Hollywood-style poster was released by Hamas showing a terrorist with a gun in the foreground behind a seated and dejected hostage. On the wall, a series of chalk mark lines were being scratched off, presumably indicating the number of hostages killed.
At home, Netanyahu is facing increased pressure from a population weary of war and outraged that hostages are still captive. But while tens of thousands took to the streets of Israel to protest, the call for a general strike was ignored in some areas reflecting the political division in the country.
Netanyahu is also facing increased pressure from the United States with President Joe Biden saying the Israeli prime minister was not doing enough to secure a ceasefire with Hamas and get the hostages released.
But Biden’s comment, coming so soon after the six executions was met with incredulity from Netanyahu.
In a press conference, Netanyahu pointed out the number of times Hamas had rejected efforts to agree a ceasefire and release hostages.
On April 27, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Hamas to accept Israel’s “extraordinarily generous” offer of a ceasefire and hostage swap.
On May 31, Israel agreed to a U.S. backed proposal for a ceasefire.
On Aug. 16, Israel agreed to a U.S. “bridging proposal” and three days later Blinken urged Hamas to agree to the deal.
On Aug. 28, Deputy CIA Director David Cohen said Israel was showing “seriousness” in the negotiations and a ceasefire was in the hands of Hamas.
Days later, Hamas answered by executing six hostages.

“And now after this we’re asked to show seriousness? We’re asked to make concessions? What message does this send Hamas? It says kill more hostages, murder more hostages, you’ll get more concessions,” said Netanyahu.
“The pressure internationally must be directed at these killers, at Hamas. Not at Israel. We say yes, they say no all the time. But they also murder these people and now we need maximum pressure on Hamas.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed outrage at the executions but called on “leaders” to reach a deal to bring the rest of the hostages home.
Which leaders? The Qassam Brigades henchmen literally holding guns at the heads of hostages? The Hamas terrorists still operating from tunnels in the Gaza Strip? Or the Iranian puppet masters?

Adolph Netanyahu, as shitty of a human being as he could possibly be, is in a lose/lose situation on this front regardless of what he would’ve done or didn’t do.
Anything that he did or didn’t do would be condemned. Perhaps he should’ve played it like “Total Recall” to get the ‘terrorists’ on Mars….& and turned off every possible benefit going into Gaza with a solid deadline back on October 8th. “96 hours to have every hostage returned, or Gaza ceases to exist. Full stop.” Too late now.

On the upside, it keeps HIM out of jail a while longer. . .
As soon as their is a deal, the war cabinet dissolves. He's looking at at least 10 years if a concurrent sentence. 30+ if consecutive.
I won't miss him.
