It really is a simple concept. Most people and countries calling for a “humanitarian pause”, which would allow Hamas to get a breather and then launch more attacks on civilian Jews, but, rarely call for all the hostages to be returned
Israel Rejects Ceasefire Calls as Forces Set to Deepen Offensive
Israel on Sunday rejected growing calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, with military specialists saying that forces are set to intensify their operations against Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, with no time frame set for their activities.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded that all of the more than 240 hostages captured by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attacks are returned.
“There will be no ceasefire without the return of the hostages. This should be completely removed from the lexicon,” Netanyahu told crews at the Ramon air force base in southern Israel, reiterating the government’s long-standing position.
“We say this to our friends and to our enemies. We will simply continue until we defeat them. We have no alternative.”
Are the hostages alive? No one knows. Hamas hasn’t said. They aren’t putting out propaganda or anything else. If the Palestinian people are not part of Hamas, if they just want to live in peace with Israel, perhaps they should overthrow Hamas, instead of having supported them since they were elected back in 2006.
Israel’s military says it has surrounded Gaza City; Gaza loses communications again
Gaza lost communications Sunday in its third total outage of the Israel-Hamas war, while Israel’s military said it encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two.
“Today there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told reporters, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against the Hamas militant group ruling the enclave. Israeli media reported troops were expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.
The “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza, reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by Palestinian telecom company Paltel, made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.
Yeah, well, is it a wise idea to allow your enemy to communicate easily in the midst of a war? It’s expected that the Israeli military will enter Gaza City this week after surrounding it and splitting Gaza in two. Let the hostages go and all Hamas fighters, especially those in charge, should turn themselves in, and this can end.
Meanwhile, Nazis in Illinois
(Breitbart) Hecklers shouted “kill the babies” to taunt a protest Sunday organized by Jews in Skokie, Illinois, to highlight the fact that 30 children, including babies, are being held hostage by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.
The Times of Israel reported:
Jewish community members in Skokie outside of Chicago have organized an exhibit of 30 empty strollers to raise awareness about the 30 children currently being held hostage in Gaza along with roughly 210 others.
…
Several people driving by shout obscenities at the Jewish participants, including, “kill the babies!”
A source told Breitbart News that more drivers and passersby were supportive of the protest than opposed.
There are always horrible people in the world, and the Jew haters are showing their stripes.
