Hamas has said it will execute hostages if Israel bombs residential areas with out warning. Now they have issued more demands for their release.

Hamas wants US prisoners freed alongside those in Israel as part of a deal the terrorist group could make to release dozens of hostages taken to Gaza.
An exiled Hamas leader in Lebanon, Ali Barakeh, said that the group would aim to secure the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli and American prisons. He has been the group's leader in Lebanon for years and is in charge of coordinating other Palestinian groups there.
Without specifying who, he said: "There are Palestinians held in America. We will ask for their release."
In 2009, a court in Dallas sentenced two founding members of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, once the largest US Muslim charity, to 65 years in prison for funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.
Three other men were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 15 to 20 years for conspiracy.
Barakeh added: "We have prepared well for this war and to deal with all scenarios, even the scenario of the long war. We will bring life to a stop in the Zionist entity if the aggression does not stop on Gaza."
Barakeh said Hamas has so far employed only a small number of its own forces. He said nearly 2,000 Hamas fighters have taken part in the latest fighting, out of an army of 40,000 in Gaza alone.
Hamas may also be able to count on its allies if it faces a major setback. On Sunday, Hezbollah fired several rockets and shells at three Israeli positions in a disputed area.
On Monday, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group claimed it sent four gunmen across Lebanon’s border into Israel.
The militants said they had wounded seven Israeli soldiers. Israel said its own forces shot and killed several gunmen who crossed into the country from Lebanon. It also shelled southern Lebanon in response.
Hamas isn’t in the position to be giving any orders they have a DOA poster on them.
We shouldn’t negotiate with them.
It won’t end well.
“This may be an indication that the attacks were planned by Hamas partisans in the USA.”
Whether or not this is true, there is now open war against the USA, which the terrorists are quite explicitly and vociferously joining at the hip with Israel.
I worry in the here and now about the homeland. Without overreacting along any dimension, we need quietly to raise our own alert level to its maximum.
“Hamas wants ‘prisoners in US released’ in exchange for Israeli hostages”
Hey, you can have them.
If you agree to take in a few million migrants as well.
HAMAS is in the Bible!
(violence, H2555) H2555 חָמָס (ḥāmās) - violence; - by implication, wrong; - by meton. unjust gain; Etymology: from H2554; KJV: cruel(-ty), damage, false, injustice, X oppressor, unrighteous, violence (against, done), violent (dealing), wrong.
Do those palescumians include Ill Hand Omar or Trashida Tlaib? By all means, return them to their homeland: from 30,000 feet.
How much does a MOAB cost? Pay them in MOABs.
Omar is Somalian so she doesn’t qualify. Tlaib, OTOH ...
Dust off a few of those old “daisy cutters” and move ‘em out. It’ll take the wind right out of their sails.
There’s MORE?!?
thanks for the reminder about Joe Biden liberating Viktor Bout, merchant of death.
The war in Ukraine was started by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Fact: Ukraine did not invade Russia.
We will contract delivery with the Chilean AF.
My first thought...
“The war in Ukraine was started by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Fact: Ukraine did not invade Russia.”
Oh well, I guess Russia will now have to finish this war. Sorry for the bad news.
