A Hamas spokesman suggested Sunday that the terror organization could kill all of the presumed 137 hostages in its custody if Israel does not accede to its demands.
Abu Obeida, a familiar spokesman for Hamas who had not been seen for several weeks, released a video in which he made the threat clear.
“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,” he said, according to the Times of Israel.
It is not clear if Hamas would deliver on that threat. The hostages are the only leverage that Hamas has over Israel, and it uses them as human shields. The Hamas leaders in exile — in luxurious accommodation in Doha, Qatar — would also likely to preserve the hostages alive to ensure that Israel negotiates with them, rather than killing them (as it has promised to do, eventually).

I think any validity of that threat is predicated on proof that the hostages are still alive and well.
Ah, the Col. Gordon at Khartoum death.
Good catch.
Criminals such as Hamas should expect the authorities to demand “proof of life” for hostages as in cases of child molesters holding an abducted victim, or cases of office building or bank takeovers with hostages or home invaders taking a hostage away.
Proof of life.
Hope that could be true. I am more and more abandoning belief that the Dems are misguided or got onto the wrong path because of teachers and so on.
God has given free will (which I can do nothing about) and evil people use it to do evil.
When the war gets going full blast here the Dems and especially young people will say “they had it coming to them; they were for Trump” as we die or go into the areas already set aside for gulags.
Yup
You would like to think so, but I doubt it. Their supporters would either refuse to believe their own lying eyes or say that because of the Israeli apartheid fascist colonialist regime, Hamas had no choice. The hostages’ deaths would be blamed on Israel.
Note, the leftists marching in the streets calling for a ceasefire, never call for Hamas to lay down its arms and surrender.
It is not unlike western Communists reaction to the first years of World War II. They were 100% against the war. But in June, 1941 they were quite capable of turning on a dime demanding war against Germany.
At least they are admitting they are beat. Killing people was the entire goal, they didn’t occupy any land. Now killing their hostages is all they’ve got left.
Turbanate Hamas and its minions with extreme prejudice!
An extension of “the rod of correction”..
Sinwar is the BIG CHEESE, you get him and Mohammed Dief, Hamas is done the rest of Hamas will scatter and leave Gaza forever
There's little doubt the left will.
Israel, kill them as fast as you can.
meat them 1/2 way and kill 10 hamas prisoners for every Israeli hostage not released immediately.
That somehow doesn’t seem like the best bargaining plan to me. All they had was death and destruction on their mind, with no plan at all except for them to enjoy seeing world commies holding up “Free Palestine” signs. What bunch of idiots.
1. Steal underpants
2. ???
3. Profit
If that happens, Hamas cuts its own throat. No way would the IDF allow anyone associated with Hamas to survive.

And they could kill them all even if their demands ARE met!
Yes, I am fairly sure they offer some kind of proof the hostages are alive. We would know if they killed them. Too difficult to keep that quiet.
They’re probably already dead - or wish they were. Don’t play the hostage game. Wipe-out hamas to the last bit of dna.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That is the ONLY truly rational response. Cease all communication, and exterminate every last one of them. TAKE NO PRISONERS.
Just a guess, but it is highly probable most terrorists want to live.
Be funny if Israel replies that it could kill all Gazan men if the hostages are not released.

Why reply? Just resume the process of total extermination. Nothing more needs to be said about this.
