An obscene spectacle - Do the west's Israel-haters even understand what they saw today?

Hamas terrorists “hold back” the Gazan mob menacing Israeli hostage Doron Steinbrecher at the moment of her release.

To all those in the west who have perpetrated the lie of Israeli genocide in Gaza for the past 15 months: look at the pictures of the mob surrounding the three Israel women hostages who were freed today, and see thousands of Gazans who are well-fed, well-groomed and well-dressed.

What do you have to say now about the murderous libel you have perpetrated against the Israeli victims of these people, the lie that the Israelis were deliberately starving them, that they were the victims of Israeli-induced famine, that the Jews were behaving like Nazis? Do you have a scintilla of shame or regret about what you have done in spreading this foul incitement? Do you even understand what you saw today? Or are you too busy cheering on instead the pictures of those “pro-Palestinian” hate-marchers in London yesterday, dozens of whom were arrested by the police because they were absolutely determined to harass and terrorise British Jews at their synagogue Sabbath services nearby?

Look at that horrifying footage of those Gaza mobs, those enormous potential lynch mobs jeering and threatening the three Israeli women as they were handed over to the Red Cross — the same mobs who abused the live hostages and desecrated the bodies of the murdered ones when they were all dragged into Gaza after the October 7 massacre; look at that footage and then tell us all again that the vast majority of Palestinian Arabs in Gaza are innocent civilians and victims of the Israelis.

Enormous Gaza mob surrounds Red Cross vehicle involved in handover of Israeli hostages.

Listen to those mobs chanting ecstatically for the murder of Jews in a willed repetition of the slaughter of Jews by Islam’s founder Mohammed in 7th century Khybar; then watch Sky News report this as a “celebration,” and then begin to understand the depravity of the western media that’s sanitised this barbarism for 15 months and demonised its victims.

Look at the thousands who have emerged in Hamas uniform and armed to the teeth, vowing to carry out more and more October 7 massacres until every Jew is dead and Israel is destroyed — Hamas murder squads loudly declaring that they will use the ceasefire to regroup, rearm and attack Israel; and then listen to the politicians hailing this development as the beginning of peace.

Hamas emerge in full regalia onto the streets of Gaza in a show of strength following the ceasefire.

Look with breaking heart at the poignant joy and indescribable relief from suffering of the families reunited with their newly freed girls — how can this be anything other than a source not just of joy but also shuddering horror at what they have endured and at who knows what scars they will bear for the rest of their lives; and a source also of the most profound agony over the vast majority of the Israeli captives, both alive and dead, who remain incarcerated as pawns of these Palestinian Arab psychopaths, and who will now be used to eke out further unbearable distress among the hostages and their families, and to extort and manipulate the Israelis into ensuring that Hamas survive, regroup and resume the business of genocide....SNIP

And the jihadists have been imported into Europe and the USA. What do people who support this think will happen?

I think I heard that at least one of the young women had a few fingers missing.

I’m sure Candace Owens will come to the talking point aid of these terrorists. She understands their “context.”

The saddest people in the world today are not democrats, but gazans seeing their thugs coming back home to rule.

When Oct. 7 happened, I wondered if the Israelis still remembered how to win wars, or if they had gone the way of the corrupt and degenerate West and only knew how to lose wars of any significance. Now I have my answer.

So sad.

Thank God that they survived that ordeal though.

Damn terrorists need a very painful existence the rest of their disgusting life.

Yes, I saw a photo posted here on FR. Her hand was bandaged, but it looked like she was missing the middle and ring fingers on her left hand. She was smiling with great joy, though, praise God!!

Hamas exists as the as the undying choice of the palestian population...

Identical to the support American moslems give to the moslem terrorists within our borders...
A visit to any of the mosques (indoctrination centers) would confirm this...
