Hamas Warns It Could Kill All Hostages Unless Israel Meets Demands
Breitbart ^ | 10 Dec 2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 12/10/2023 12:34:28 PM PST by Mr. Mojo

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).

So ignore the morons in the US who are cheerleading for the murderous, evil Hamas.
Crush Hamas like your lives depend on it, because they do.

Israel should completely ignore the bullsh*t it’s being fed by the U.S., the UK, the UN, the EU, and the WEF. Leave no man standing. Take no prisoners.

Perhaps, but built into the mix from the day they are born is that to die for the “cause” is to get into heaven.
Islam does not have a “get into heaven free card” accept Jesus as your savior and you are saved clause. Being a good and devout Muslim does not guarantee entry, only being a martyr does that , and that is a powerful motivator.

The leadership, seem less likely to look for martyrdom(they like the globull warming types) deem themselves too important to the cause but are more than willing to sacrifice others.

I have often said that those of us in the west can’t comprehend a mother praising god that their child blew themselves up in an ice cream shop for their religion, so we try to come up with something else to explain it, like mental illness, society, racism, poverty…. Sometimes what they say and do is exactly what they mean.

Till we as a whole understand this, things will not change

"And Isreal could and should turn Gaza into glass."

No.

Gaza has still got a few hundred Palestinian Christians - The number of Christians in Gaza has dwindled in recent years. Today there are only approximately 1,000 left, a sharp drop from the 3,000 registered in 2007, when Hamas assumed complete control over the enclave.

Hamas rule brought an Israel-led land, air and sea blockade, accelerating the flight of Christians from the poverty-stricken enclave. “It’s become very difficult for people to live here,” says Ayyad. “Many of the Christians left for the West Bank, for America, Canada or the Arab world, seeking better education and health.”

While most of Gaza’s Christians belong to the Greek Orthodox faith, smaller numbers worship at the Catholic Holy Family Church and the Gaza Baptist Church.

Saint Porphyrius was a Catholic/Orthodox saint from Gaza from the 4th century

Israel will take over the north and push a frontier wall in the south.

They COULD nuke it, but that would be really bad both for PR and for the health of the Israelis (Jewish, Christian, Druze and Muslim) in the areas next to Gaza, so no, they won't do that

Anyone still in Gaza who isn’t muslim needs to get out now. If they stay whatever happens is their fault, not Israel’s.

The Mohammedans claim that it is a religion of peace - but they don’t explain that in the Qu’ran, the description is “there will be peace when all the land is subdued underIslam”.

So basically - when all of us are dhimmis (third class citizens), then they allege that there will be “peace”.

However even that isn’t true - look at the Hejaz and Nejd from the 8th century onwards when the Jews of Yathrib (the city of Medina) and the Christians of the region were destroyed. Then the M’s started fighting each other.

Israel doesn’t take women and children as hostages.

Israel has captured fighters for hamas.

There were 3000 in 2007 and 2000 have already left.

The less than 1000 remaining have been trying to get out - it is not easy as they were not being taken as refugees (while Mohammedans were being accepted - no comments)

“ The less than 1000 remaining have been trying to get out.”

Walk to Israeli lines with their hands up.

Problem solved.

Hamas is saying that to cover up the fact that most hostages are already dead.

Israel should assume all hostages are dead and proceed to kill all of Hamas high officers and put million dollar bounties on those living abroad in Qatar etc
