There is a lot of freaking news right now that the release of some hostages is very close.

And the dialog has completely changed.


A Hamas Leader Says a Truce and Hostage Deal Are ‘Close.’ Here’s What We Know.
Hours after the political leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniya, said it was nearing a deal with Israel over the release of some of the hostages taken in the armed group’s Oct. 7 attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he hoped there would be good news soon.

fuck a truce, hamas needs to be exterminated off the planet

 

You negotiate with terrorists only after the boot of a pissed off 19 year old marine is firmly planted on the terrorists neck.

 

We did not win World War II by having cease fires with the Axis powers.

 

Liberals and progressives angrily deny any link between pro-migration policies and the rising share of antisemitic attitudes on the left, even as the Democrat Party splits into pro-Israel and pro-Hamas blocs.

“There are signs that the party is fracturing over Israel,” the New York Times wrote:

According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, about three-quarters of Democrats want a cease-fire, but few in the Democratic establishment share their views. Last week, in a rare gesture of defiance, more than 100 congressional staffers walked out to demand that their bosses back a cease-fire. More than 500 alumni of Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign and Democratic Party staff members have signed a letter imploring Biden to call for a cease-fire, saying, “If you fail to act swiftly, your legacy will be complicity in the face of genocide.”

Other polls show that GOP support for Israel is more unified than in the increasingly split Democrat Party.

 

I am a Democrat, but I agree with the GOP on the issues of crime, race, immigration, and Israel.



Hostility to Jews wherever they live infuriates me.

 

I guess we're all waiting to see how long it is before Hamas breaks the 'pause.' Their rabid, ingrained bloodlust for killing Jews cannot be held at bay for long, but their 'word' on any agreement is useless. Remember - Hamas and Israel were under a 'Cease Fire' on October 6.

Of course, both sides will use the pause to reposition and restructure their forces, but ulitimately, the advantage is to the IDF. Did Hamas really think the atrocities they committed would lead to anything but each and every one of them being hunted down and killed? Because that is what must happen.

 

As almost always it was Is Israel that broke the truce. Hundreds of unarmed Palestinians tried to use the cease fire to returned to their bombed out homes looking for possible survivors and recover bodies. And the IDF opened fire on the men women and children with live ammunition.

 

I'll fix that for ya stumbler...

As almost always it was Hamas that broke the truce. Hundreds of armed Palestinians tried to use the cease fire to returned to their bomb making hideouts looking for possible weapons to continue killing innocent Israeli women and children. And the IDF opened their loving arms to help and were met with bombs and bullets from the Palestinian terrorist....

 

It's funny how nobody seems to be reporting on that 'story' - not even terror-loving Al Jazeera or the leftist, Jew-hating mainstream media. I didn't even get Raw Story in a search using your exact words. And remind me again - just who makes up shit around here?

Huh?

Every day is a new low...

 

American hater is showing why hes american hater.
Hes defending the murdering rapist baby killers who have declared it their mission to destroy America.

You can't hat America more than that.

 

The cease fire has been extended with another 20 hostages to be released later today.

 

Just moving on, eh?

What about this?

Funny how there is still no reporting on this, but I guess news organizations didn't look in your head, where it apparently magically materialized.

 

Bibi the Butcher's formula has always been quite simple. He will slaughter 10 Palestinians for every Israeli killed.

Which is why there were 14,000 Palestinians 40% of them children killed before he would even consider a cease fire for a hostage exchange.

 

If the Palestinians had consented to either leave the land conquered by the Israeli Defense force, or to become a source of cheap labor for their Jewish masters, they would be better off. They could be providing unskilled labor at construction sites building Jewish settlement in the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and Gaza.

 

That would make them the same as the German government of 1933-1945 to make them subhuman slaves. Or would you like them to ask Poland for the plans for a certain camp which is now a memorial to the greatest crime in history?

 

The Nazis tried to exterminate the most accomplished race in existence. The Israelis are not trying to exterminate the Palestinians. They want to either expel them or subdue them.

 

Stories of torture, torment revealed by Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas terrorists
Children returned home malnourished and traumatized by their Hamas captors
November 29, 2023 8:52am EST



JERUSALEM - As more of the Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7 terror attack in southern Israel are freed as part of a U.S.-Qatari-Egyptian brokered cease-fire deal, stories of the horrors endured during their 50-plus days in captivity are slowly coming to light.

Instead of the usual chatter, crying and laughing typical in pediatric wards, Dr. Yael Mozer Glassberg, a senior physician in the Department of Returned Children at the Schneider Medical Center in Tel Aviv, who is part of the specially assembled team of professionals tasked with treating the returned hostages, told Fox News Digital, "It is very, very quiet here."

Mozer Glassberg, who usually heads the hospital’s liver transplant unit, said so far, she and her team have worked with 22 of the freed hostages, including 15 children, in a specially created ward.

While most of the returned hostages appeared to be physically stable, many lost up to 15% of their body weight during captivity, and all are afraid to raise their voices after their 50-day stay with terrorists.

"At the moment they are being wrapped and hugged by family members and by the psycho-social medical team," Mozer Glassberg said. "At this stage, it is too early to discuss the outcome of what they have been through."

While Israeli authorities have requested that the hostages and their family members not share in-depth details of their time in the hands of Palestinian terror groups over fears for the safety of some 170 others still being held in Gaza, the information that has come to light so far shows the sheer brutality and inhumanity of their captors, especially toward toddlers, young children and the elderly.

On Tuesday, Deborah Cohen, the aunt of 12-year-old Eitan Yahalomi, who was freed on Monday, told French TV Channel BFM that the terrorists forced her young nephew at gunpoint to watch raw video footage of the horrors they carried out on Oct. 7.

"It is the kind of horror film that no one wants to see," she said. "They forced him to watch it and if he or any of the other children cried, the terrorists threatened them with a gun to keep quiet."

Cohen also recounted how Yahalomi, who was kidnapped during the Oct. 7 attack from his home on Kibbutz Nir Oz without his family, was put on the back of a motorcycle by the terrorists and driven across the breached border fence into Gaza. As they drove him through the streets there, she said, people came outside and began to jeer and beat him.

"I wanted to hope that he would have been treated well there, but apparently not… they’re monsters," said Cohen, adding that Yahalomi’s father, Ohad, is still a hostage.

Yahalomi’s grandmother, Esther, told Israeli media outlets that "For the first 16 days, he was alone in a closed room."

"Imagine for yourselves what he went through there," she said, adding that he was later put together with a group of other hostages from his kibbutz.

"It was much easier for him there because his caregiver from the kibbutz nursery was there," the grandmother said, describing how he returned thinner and now refuses to smile.

In another rare testimony, Thomas Hand, the father of 9-year-old Emily Hand, told a media outlet that his daughter, who was freed on Saturday, still speaks in whispers.

"The most shocking thing about meeting Emily was the fact that she spoke in whispers, to the point it was really hard to hear her," the father, a dual Israeli-Irish national, said. "I had to put my ear very close to her mouth to hear…. in captivity she was told not to make any noise and you can see the terror in her eyes."

Hand said that when he asked his daughter how long she thought she had been in captivity in Gaza, the 9-year-old replied, "about a year."

He also retold how he had to share with Emily the harsh news that Narkis, the woman who raised her on Kibbutz Be’eri where she grew up, was murdered.

"Her eyes sparkled, and she took a sharp breath. It was very difficult," Hand said, adding, "Last night she cried until her face was red, she couldn't stop. She didn't want any comfort. I guess she forgot how to comfort herself. She got under the covers, covered herself, and cried quietly."

Alma, 13, and Noam Or, 16, siblings who were released by Hamas on Saturday, received similarly devastating news, according to reports from those close to them. Relatives said the two teenagers were imprisoned in a secluded room for 50 days and through that time had been hoping to see their mother, Yonat, as soon as they were released.

Greeted by their grandmother and an older brother, the two were immediately informed that Yonat was murdered by the terrorists on Oct. 7. Their father, Dror, remains a hostage, Israeli authorities said.

Over the past five days, relatives of the hostages have told of the difficulties they have faced in sharing with their now-released loved ones some of the terror stories from the Oct. 7 massacre, which saw more than 1,200 people murdered in some 22 communities in southern Israel, army bases and a music festival.


Adva Adar, the granddaughter of 85-year-old Yaffa Adar, who was released on Friday night, said that her family is working hard not to overload the elderly woman with too many details about the massacre on her kibbutz or the fact that her home was completely destroyed.

"She is only getting the information now of what happened, and is piecing it all together slowly," said Adva Adar. "We want to give it to her in a way that she can process it, and it won’t be too much."

Adva said her grandmother, who was released from the hospital on Tuesday, is getting professional help to deal with all the trauma, but the family understands that the recovery process will be long.

She said that right now, the most difficult task facing her elderly grandmother is "starting over again."

"To be an 85-year-old woman and have your home and all your memories, your photo album, and everything, destroyed is really tough," Adva said.

Merav Raviv, a relative of Ruthy Mundar, 78, her daughter, Keren Mundar, 54, and Keren’s son, Ohad, 9, who were all freed on Friday night, said they were also trying to catch up on the horrors of the past eight weeks.

"They were fed but not regularly," Raviv said in an interview on Sunday. "Some days they did not get anything but some a few pieces of bread and both Keren and her mom, Ruty, lost about six to eight kilograms in weight," (approximately13-17 pounds.)

Raviv said that the family was forced to sleep on plastic benches and begged their captors to take them to the bathroom. Sometimes they had to wait for more than an hour and a half to be allowed to go, she said.

As for Ohad, who celebrated his 9th birthday in captivity last month, Raviv said that he had been visiting his grandparents on Kibbutz Nir Oz the day he was kidnapped and was "very scared" when rocket fire began and the terrorists broke into the kibbutz.

At the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital in Tel Aviv’s Sheba Medical Center, Deputy Director Dr. Moshe Ashkenazi told Fox News Digital that he had so far treated around 21 of the freed hostages.

"There are some really shocking stories," he said. "I can’t go into too much detail but some of what we heard has not been easy and, I must say, the strength of these people is amazing."

Ashkenazi said that while no one under his care required urgent medical intervention, "it is quite obvious when you look at them all, they have all been through a very difficult period – as you would expect from any person who has been kept in captivity for 50 days."

In Israel, medical professionals began preparing for the scenario of returned hostages almost immediately following the Oct. 7 attack, when it was confirmed that hundreds of people, including children, had been kidnapped.

With few similar scenarios worldwide to draw from, Ashkenazi said the hospital, like others in Israel, put together a multidisciplinary team of experts including psychologists, psychiatrists and other experts to help with the rehabilitation of those they hoped would soon return.

At Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel, one hostage, Elma Avraham, 84, who was released Sunday night, arrived in critical condition, her daughter, Tali Amano said in a statement.

"We waited for my mother for 52 days," she said. "My mother is 84 years old, a grandmother and great-grandmother. She is a happy woman, incredibly optimistic. She was taken out of her house and kidnapped on a motorcycle; she was functioning. She lived independently, cooked for herself, and took care of all of her needs – including taking her prescription medication to deal with her chronic illnesses."

Amano said her mother, who suffered from a thyroid disease, heart disease and autoimmune disease, "was completely neglected medically" and "arrived home on the brink of death."

On Tuesday, the hospital said that Avraham’s condition had improved and that she was awake and breathing on her own.

According to Israel’s Ministry of Health, a total of 69 hostages have been freed so far, 51 of them Israeli citizens and a further 18 foreign nationals, mostly from Thailand who had been working in Israel on the day of the attack. Out of those released, 30 are children, 20 are women, mostly mothers and senior citizens, and one man.

Israel believes that nine Israeli children, including a 10-month-old baby, remain in captivity.

 

Ah. Shooter sees what happened here.
american hater read the article but got confused, thinking that it was HAMAS hostages who were released and were telling of their hardships.
