Hamas releases ‘parting image’ of 48 remaining captives, vowing that Israel will never see them again
NY Post ^ | September 20, 2025 | Gabrielle Fahmy

Hamas ominously released what it called a “parting image” Saturday of the remaining 48 Israelis being held captive in Gaza, as the Jewish state’s ground troops prepare to close in on Gaza City.

The image is a compilation of the faces of the captives, with the name Ron Arad inscribed below each one.

Arad was an Israeli air force pilot who went missing during a 1986 bombing mission in southern Lebanon, who is believed to have been captured and since died. He is still officially classified as missing.

The terror group blames Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for rejecting a last-minute cease-fire and hostage deal, and Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir for agreeing to carry out the prime minister’s military takeover of Gaza City — despite his own opposition.

If you want to eliminate Hamas you have to eliminate all of the Gazan Arabs there. Otherwise, the 99% that approve of Hamas’ actions will keep producing Muslim terrorists for their cause.

All bets are off.

Flatten everything that’s left.

Then make the rubble bounce.

False execution tactic - it’s their only protection. Like Little Rocket Man, they feel the need to get back in the headlines.

Strange world where hostage taking is tolerated and supported. Perhaps ‘civilization’ really is a false construct.

Very sad but this is the very definition of an endless war.

Agreed. The onus is not on Israel to try to weed the grain from the chaff. Bibi should make war from the top of Gaza to the bottom of Gaza until whoever is left alive surrenders and promises to never, ever, ever attack Israel again. Then Bibi should tell them that any taqiyya will be met with their complete destruction. Whoever is left will be moved to whatever portion of Gaza that Israel doesn't want to move into.

Simple. Effective. And Israel can get on with their lives.

Israel should kill every living thing in Gaza, don’t even leave grass on the ground.

“”They just justified any act Israel takes to destroy Hamas.””

Any act? It should have never been in question... or needed justification. The justification came on October 7, 2023... and Hamas has had far too much time alive on planet earth already. War was declared on that day and when your enemy officially declares war on you, you either react accordingly or you die. There’s no gray area.

True that. I wouldn’t be surprised of the people of Israel adopt a new legal construct where the Israelis sign, for their families and country’s benefit, a kind of “Just let me die if I’m hostage” contact. Similar to a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate).

“”Israel should kill every living thing in Gaza, don’t even leave grass on the ground.””

No, leave the grass or plant some. Make it into one big park. Maybe a tree or two, but nothing a Hamas cretin could hide behind or shoot a rocket from. A nice, green buffer zone.

Ok, sorry for their families, but they are now war casualties. Carpet bomb Gaza to dust.

Your assumption is there was grass.

The areas destroyed by exterminating Hamas had no grass.

It is impossible apparently to deal constructively with uncivilized, sociopathic losers.

I remember, earlier in my life, Israel did not worry about hostages. If hostages were taken, Israel would just go in and wipe out the perps who took the hostages, regardless of hostage survival.

Now, they “play the game” and with changed results. It is to bad they do not revert back to the total annihilation of the perps regardless of hostage survival.

Kill every last one of these savages and their combined families.
Wipe their lines from the earth forever

Then annex Gaza.

Destroy those who promote and adhere to this proxy of Islam. There will be others. There is no shortage of UNCIVILIZED individuals in the world. They have no interest in debate. They have singleness of purpose.

“”Your assumption is there was grass.

Well... I did say “or plant some”, didn’t I?

Nevertheless... make it a nice, calm, open buffer zone. No buildings. Just open air.
