It’s a warning for the head of the islamofascistic snake.

We should demand Hamas prove there are any hostages still alive.

They chose war (in 1947 and) on Oct 6 when they took hostages.

It would be more accurate to say there will be a nastier war as a result of not releasing (all of) them.

Hamas hates ALL Jews and Christians and is sworn to their destruction. Their handler Iran, the same. It will come down to a much larger war before this is over and we have real peace. Either that, or something akin to a cold war where nuclear triggers are at fever pitch status.
God help us and protect us!

And it needs to be said that the people that let them stay there and rule them, made no effort to stop them. So they are just as responsible as hamas.

I doubt that any are still alive. Their bodies either show evidence of torture over long periods or they don’t have the bodies anymore.

“We should demand Hamas prove there are any hostages still alive.”

Why bother, they aren’t.
Why do you think kidnapping is a Capital crime?
Victims are almost always dead!
Seems very simple to me,
Kill all the Moslem’s involved, PERIOD!
That may send a message to the idiots.
Did you ever see the movie “Ransom”
The writers got it correct.
No negotiate.

They are eternally treacherous and will never keep an agreement.

I agree, I have been saying for a long time that HAM-ASS would only keep a few alive for bargaining chips, the rest were dead within 3 months of their kidnapping.

Note that Netanyahu says no more ceasefire for negotiations, and is said to be planning to confiscate land in Gaza for every injured hostage.

That would be a start. Too bad Bibi never *finishes* any task he claims he’s setting for himself.

“and is said to be planning to confiscate land in Gaza for every injured hostage.”

Years ago I had a peace plan I called Kilometers for Kassams. For every missile that hit Israeli land the IDF pushed the border back 1 kilometer.

... and from the Sunni nations in the Middle East; Saudi
Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, the Emirates, Kuwait,
Jordan, Bahrain, Oman...

Absolute silence.

The Sunni nations are thrilled that Iran and their proxies
are getting their asses handed to them.
