Hundreds of innocent civilians, including children, are believed to have been taken hostage in Israel by Hamas — forcing the Jewish state into a desperate race to find and free them as the terror group threatened Monday to execute captives.
Israeli authorities have not yet provided specific details about the number and identities of the kidnapped victims, however, a preliminary assessment shared by one senior military official with the New York Times suggests at least 150 people have been captured.
Among them are 5-year-old Raz and 3-year-old Aviv, their devastated father, Yoni Asher, revealed Monday.
Asher’s entire world came crashing down Saturday when he recognized his girls and their mother in a video circulating on social media showing abducted Israelis being forced on a flatbed truck, surrounded by men with guns.

76ers beat writer out at PhillyVoice after ripping team’s Israel tweet
https://nypost.com/2023/10/09/76ers-beat-writer-out-at-phillyvoice-after-ripping-teams-israel-tweet/
“Jackson Frank, the new Sixers beat writer for PhillyVoice, is out of the job after tweeting in “solidarity” with Palestine in response to the team’s statement about Israel.
“Mr. Frank is no longer employed by PhillyVoice.com as of today,” PhillyVoice.com CEO Hal Donnelly told The Post in a statement.
“We stand with everyone who is absolutely outraged by the senseless attacks in Israel, by the loss of innocent lives and violence against civilians.”
Reached by The Post, Frank declined to comment.
“We stand with the people of Israel and join them in mourning the hundreds of innocent lives lost to terrorism at the hands of Hamas,” the Sixers tweeted Sunday, adding the hashtag #StandWithIsrael.
Frank responded in a quote-tweet, writing, “This post sucks! Solidarity with Palestine always.””
Given the left’s response to the attack on Israel over the weekend, I have no problem in believing that they would be fine with Christians and American-loving patriots being sent to re-education camps, or placed before firing squads to meet our “just desserts”.
I’ve never before seen such hatred, death wishes, and vitriol for innocent human beings as I have since 2016, and especially over the past few days. All because of someone’s beliefs. I certainly have my own beliefs, but wouldn’t advocate for torture and death for those who disagree with me. Of course if they attack me for those beliefs then I agree that I should be able to use equal or greater force to repel any such attack and to prevent the same people from attacking me in the future. However, I would never advocate the annihilation of a peaceful group of people just because I believe their ancestors harmed mine, or because I disagree with them.
The pot of hatred is boiling over and I’m afraid this is not going to end well for anyone. Diversity is NOT our strength. Not when American’s culture, heritage, and nation is being erased.
War with Iran?

Netanyahu’s brother was KIA on a hostage rescue op.

Just tell them they have 24 hours to release the captives, unharmed of they will drop an Atomic Bomb on Gaza City —Turn Gaza City into Hiroshima. Free the people or everyone dies. Hey, the world still thinks Israelis are Monsters anyway. Make it so no one in the Strip is alive. Netron Bomb perhaps? Or maybe six A-Bombs, one every other day until hostages (if Still Alive) are released. The Dead can be honored with a monument on the ruins of Gaza City, the survivors left to die in agony for years of pain and suffering.
No. Not yet anyway.
I didn’t know that. Their policy of rescue is very honorable.
Drive the Palestinian apes and pigs into the sea. Every last one.
we have been saying that since 1979 and then the 80s when they killed 241 of our marines and we peed and went home.
The Israelis need to figure out the best way to get refugees to Egypt. Starvation takes a long time. Maybe they’ll bomb every building and then get the tanks in so they can steer the population to where they want to go.
Let’s hope for the best... considering the animals who kidnapped them, ‘the best’ might be a quick death. Other than that, let’s hope they’re saved.
I’m amazed that the terrorists were able to get motor vehicles, including trucks, across what I assumed was a highly secure border.
Just send waves of daisy cutters. They will have the same effect, but no fallout.
You’re right. I’d say the numerous cells they’ll activate have formed or will be formed. They will raise holy hell when told to “go”. And a cold winter is on the way.
Could be the biggest excuse/reason we have no elections in 2024.
Unfortunately, I think you are right. I wish they could get them out, but I am not at all confident they will.
The population of Gaza is responsible because they supported the terrorists who did this.
They won’t free them, and this singular event (ahem) may be the undoing of the Jewish state as they know it.
That stated, BOHICA and stock up on EVERYTHING.
They wanted to guarantee that they’d stay in power;
you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
