Two weeks ago I had the sad duty to inform you that most, if not all, of the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7 were probably dead. Now, Hamas has confirmed it.
"Today I received a detailed report on the talks in Cairo, we are constantly working to achieve our goals, first and foremost the release of all our hostages and achieving a complete victory over Hamas," Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said on Monday.
He added, "This victory requires entry into Rafah and the elimination of the terrorist battalions there. It will happen — there is a date."
But it's too late.
"According to the first phase of the deal on which the negotiations are taking place," Barak Ravid reported on Monday, "Hamas is supposed to release 40 hostages alive, including women, soldiers, men over 50 and men under 50 who are in a serious medical condition."
"Israel made it clear that if Hamas agreed to commit to this point, Israel would agree to far-reaching compromises on the issue of the return of Palestinian residents to the northern Gaza Strip," but Hamas says that after six months of hellish captivity, 40 such hostages are no longer alive.
Netanyahu forgot his Macbeth: "If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well it were done quickly."
I'm not trying to Monday Morning Quarterback here, but perhaps it didn't need to be this way. A quicker war would have meant higher casualties but better odds of rescuing the hostages.
Trying to please the Biden administration, the Israeli government took a go-slow approach to weeding Hamas out of Gaza. Netanyahu's more careful counteroffensive kept IDF casualties far lower than I expected and it also kept the White House at bay, if only temporarily.

It worked so brilliantly that even Presidentish Joe Biden is now openly siding with Hamas, making demand after demand on Israel — even threatening to cut off American supplies of weapons and ammo — but never on Hamas.
As a result, Israel is now in a worse position than it was the day before Hamas committed its terrible terror invasion on Oct. 7. The country is more isolated than perhaps ever before, the hostages are dead, Hamas remains, and the antisemitic Left (and a few losers on the Right) have sharp new tools to use against Israel.
Are the Hammies asking for Israel to nuke their asses?
I’ve long believed that like Pearl Harbor, They knew there was going to be an attack. They decided to utilize the attack to destroy Hamas entirely, with ample justification to do so.
Israel is dumb to rely on anything sourced from the US other then liquid assets it can utilize.
JAMBOG!
Hamas Just Begged Israel to Finish Them Off

And the “Search” function still works.
There was clearly TWO reasons to go into Gaza, one was to finally eliminate hamas and the other was to ALSO get the hostages if possible. When dealing with animals you have to realize that they will act like animals to the determent of the hostages.
The so-called civilians have been warned. On the planned date everything alive in Rafah should die. And not one stone should be left standing upon another.
Have you guys ever seen the movie “Ransom”?
that is how you deal with kidnappers.
That is the only way.
Too close to Israeli territory for nukes. Save those for Iran.
Israel had nothing to lose, since it was obvious that they would be condemned by most of the world no matter what they did. Might as well eliminate the problem once and for all.
The majority of the hostages have always been dead, they only kept the young women alive long enough to rape them repeatedly, then they offed them when they were tired of them, that simple
