Hamas Threatens to Kill All the Remaining Hostages Unless Israel Bows to Its Demands

Abu Obeida, the masked spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, threatened on Sunday to kill all the remaining hostages taken during the Oct. 7 attacks unless Israel cedes to demands for more aid and prisoner exchanges.

Speaking on a recorded broadcast reviewed by the Times of Israel, Obeida called Israel "fascist" and "arrogant":

Neither the fascist enemy and its arrogant leadership… nor its supporters… can take their prisoners alive without an exchange and negotiation and meeting the demands of the resistance.

Despite the fact that Israel Defense Forces is rapidly gaining ground in Gaza and large numbers of Hamas fighters have been surrendering, the terror leader vowed to continue the fight:

"We have no choice but to fight this barbaric occupier in every neighbourhood, street and alley," he said.

"The enemy's holocaust aims to break the strength of our resistance... but we are fighting on our land in a holy battle."

To give you a feel for what this guy's like, here's video of him trying to troll the IDF by claiming they wear diapers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a different assessment of the status of the war than Obeida, saying Sunday that the conflict will not end well for Hamas:

Netanyahu: It's the 'Beginning of the End' for Hamas as Even More Terrorists Surrender, Give Vital Intel

“I say to the Hamas terrorists: It’s over,” Netanyahu said. “Don’t die for [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar. Surrender – now!”

Hostage-taking is evil and defies international law. Unfortunately, however, it’s also a very effective tool against civilized people and allows vastly outnumbered forces to have negotiating power that they otherwise wouldn’t have. 

Hamas is even using the bodies of captives who died as a sick negotiating tactic. They have 20 corpses that they are refusing to return to Israel.

Sinwar is well aware of the emotional power of hostages, and taking them was always part of the plan:

Sinwar said that what Israel considers its strength—that most Israelis serve in the army and soldiers hold a special status in society—is a weakness that can be exploited, said Yuval Bitton, who spent time with Sinwar as the former head of the Israel Prison Service’s intelligence division.

The idea proved accurate in 2011 when Sinwar was one of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners freed for a single Israeli soldier. 

Now, Sinwar is holding hostage 138 Israelis, including soldiers, and the Hamas leader is betting he can force the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners and establish a permanent cease-fire. He’s relying on his judgment of Israeli society after two decades studying it in jail, learning Hebrew, watching the local news and getting inside the Israeli psyche. 

Hamas knows that most people who aren't terrorists care deeply about their families and are sickened when a loved one is taken captive and will do almost anything to get them freed. It's psychological warfare, and while it may buy them some time in this conflict, it won't win the war. But it's creating agony among the families:

Mom of Hostage Delivers Heart-Wrenching Speech at Pro-Israel Rally, Living in 'Slow-Motion Torment'

Author Alex Berenson points out that pro-Hamas supporters will ignore the group's cruelty:

Death cults gonna death cult.

But I’m sure every Hamas apologist will find a way to justify this.

As protesters take to the streets to applaud Hamas' inhumanity and call for a ceasefire, they keep ignoring an essential fact: a ceasefire could be negotiated very quickly if they would release the hostages and put down their arms. Instead, they want to continue to torture their captives and create more carnage in a war they started and stand little chance of winning.

Al Qaeda is not based in SA.

Qatar is where they are supported.

Remember Trump speech to the Muslim Middle East?

Believe me, they have not forgotten the speech. I remind them about it, and their diplomats remember it.

SA, Jordan, Turkey, UAE and others don’t want anything to do with the Terrorists.

Erdogan’s Turkey is the home of sanctuary for all the Islamists. ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Quads. All are welcome and protected by Erdogan.

You listen to our State Department, they are always wrong.

Bin Laden a citizen of Qatar Nada. His family Saudi 15 of the 19 hijackers Saudi.

You link this to Qatar usually the propaganda creates an Iran linkage to Al Qaeda.

The war in Syria a CIA-Five Eyes operation involving jihadists with cooperation from Gulf.

We don’t see through the same eyes, 5 or otherwise.

It is a question of timing. I remember when Lindsey Graham and John McCain smiled and took photo’s of Jihadi’s.

But I also remember when our CIA and our Marines fought side by side with the SDF (YPG, YPJ, Syriac (MFS), and Arab militia (not Terrorists); all fought ISIS together. They lost 10,000 of their own to end ISIS. They protected our troops. Our troops respected them. And still do.

You bring up ISIS there was a British citizen who isn’t British anymore after she joined ISIS.

Shamima Begum’s lawyers argued that she was 15 when she joined ISIS that she was trafficked.

An official document reveal Begum was smuggled into Syria by an intelligence operative for Canada (Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance).

This operative smuggled others in too.

Who does Canadian intelligence really work for in the end?
