Yet this group of demonic savages enjoys the moral high ground in the eyes of the global left, and much of the right as well. I’m speaking of Hamas, not Israel, in case anyone is uncertain.
“Seven more Israeli captives confirmed murdered by Hamas,” i24News, December 1, 2023:
The Israeli army on Friday confirmed the deaths of seven hostages held in Gaza, saying their families had been informed, and the body of one of them returned to Israel.
“In recent days, the IDF (military) and Israel police notified the families of the hostages Eliyahu Margalit, Maya Goren, Ronen Engel and Arye Zalmanovitz about their deaths,” army spokesman Daniel Hagari said. Shortly after his statement to the press authorities also confirmed the deaths of Ofra Keidar and Guy Iluz.
Hagari also said troops had brought back the body of an additional person whom he identified as Ofir Tsarfati.
Separately the army said Tsarfati’s body had been “located in recent days” in Gaza by troops and the Shin Bet internal security service and brought to Israel for burial, with the family informed of his death on Wednesday…..

This is so sad and where the Hell is the outcry from the press. Israeli civilian citizens are slaughtered more savagely than a wolf or tiger kills its prey is outrageous. Imagine if this happened here in the US or Europe to a non-Jewish person. The international press would be in an uproar but, hey, these are only Jews, so who gives a rat’s behind?
When I was growing up, I could never have imagined the pure bigotry that is occurring in the west today. I hope that any person of Jewish descent reading this knows how much most of us here at JW are one hundred percent behind them in this time of trial for them.
rick says
Why haven’t all the bodies been returned to Israel?
I’ll tell you why, then Israel could determine how they died.

Yesterday, I read that Israel had already resumed operations. What they should now do is declare that their operation is a recovery operation, rather than a rescue one, & they should keep bombing Gaza until they’ve destroyed any and all fighters. Don’t hold back hoping that that will keep the hostages alive: assume that all are dead, and work on that assumption
I also read yesterday that Israel is telling the Arabs that it would need a DMZ b/w Israel and Gaza. I’d say, scrap that, and simply expel all Palis to Jordan or Qatar, or kill them if they can’t be expelled: after all, they are at war, and this wouldn’t be anything more offensive than what the Russians, say, have been doing in Ukraine. Just conquer Gaza, annex it & fill it up w/ Jewish residents. Maybe make it that Mediterranean resort that some people have been saying that Hamas could have made Gaza had their priorities been to build above rather than under
tim gallagher says
Sounds like a good plan, Infidel. Plenty of Israelis must surely be thinking the same, realistic way.
Mike.2 says
Agree.
somehistory says
Under *normal* circumstances, when a person is kidnapped…”taken hostage”…held for ransom…the victim is dead before any ransom is paid. LE actually assumes that, and tries to keep the families from even paying the ransom. LE wants to capture the criminals, but they don’t hold much hope of returning the family member.
The kidnappers try to convince the family that the victim is still alive so the ransom will be paid because they know the family has the desire to do all they can for their family member.
It’s the same with hamas taking victims, whom they have severely mistreated with burnings, denying food, threats, making them watch videos of what they did to others, etc….knowing that the Israeli government is being pressured from all sides to hold off in order to have their loved ones returned.
It’s is probably now that any who have not been released, have died due to mistreatment, or they were murdered outright. Keeping the truce is paying the ransom.
carpediadem says
Excellent points.
Mike 2 says
I agree.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
True, although in this case, the Israelis, probably due to some Jewish custom, is making it the #1 priority to rescue those hostages on the assumption that they are still alive
Ruthann says
Sadly, you are 100% accurate. I weep as I read all these reports. We need a president who will address the American people and educate them on Israel’s right to the land from Dan to Beersheba.

Just to add to what you wrote, Infidel, I would assert that the term “innocent Palestinians” borders on the oxymoronic. More Germans in WWII were innocent compared to the so-called Palestinians and, thankfully, we didn’t have useful idiots aplenty running America back then calling for a ceasefire to spare some Germans. But we do now, starting with the brain-dead and forever incompetent Joe Biden.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Douglas Murray emphasized what you wrote in that famous interview w/ Piers Morgan. He noted that during WWII, German troops, after a day of massacring the Jews, would drink themselves into a stupor b’cos they were not remotely proud of what they did. The Palis, otoh, happily gloated about what they did to family & friends, & posted what they did online. It explains why Hitler lamented that Germans weren’t muslim: if they were, they probably could have done their executions w/ about as much remorse as the Palis did
Hoi Polloi says
If the Israeli hostage body count isn’t higher by now, it’s not for want of pali effort, I’m certain. Palis aren’t known for their humanity. They are known for relentless lying.
Eve of War says
++1 ! Exactly, on all points.
Dov Berrol says
Arye Zalmanovitz z”l was a senior in his 80’s and I think was the oldest hostage taken. He had many health issues that required daily medication and a restricted diet. He could not survive on the rice and cans of tuna the terrorists are giving the hostages, and the jihadis refuse to let the Red Cross check on the hostages and bring them their required medications. Another young hostage who was injured needed surgery on her arm but instead of getting one of the surgeons in a Gaza hospital to perform the operation, the terrorists treated her like an infidel animal and had a veterinarian operate on her just to show that Jews are animals to them. Next time you see someone demonstrating to Free Palestine, stick it back to them: Free Palestine from Islam!
Not A Muslim says
We need people on the streets burning the flags of Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, etc. Let’s see the reaction that would get.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
AND the flags of Palestine – the favorite flag of all the intifada demonstrators we see everywhere – London, New York, Detroit, Melbourne, & whichever world city these incendiary demonstrations are going on
Mike 2 says
I agree.
Hudders. says
Islam & it’s jihadist adherents are absolutely demonic.
It is a violent, merciless, hate filled delusional death cult.
How sad it is that the wider world choose to put their heads in the blood soaked sands, fooling themselves that this evil won’t be coming to their country too soon if unchecked.
Sadistic acts of cruelty & murder are a backwards blessing & warped act of worship to these monsters.
Allah commands it. They faithfully obey. Islam is a death cult.
May God grant peace & healing to the families of these innocent victims I pray.
& reveal the true nature of islam to those whose eyes are not yet opened.
Amen.
