Last night, social media platforms were crackling with news of a “hostage deal” reported by the Washington Post. I did not report on it because, firstly, I do not trust the Washington Post, it’s a vile sheet of leftist propaganda and I believed the premature announcement was merely a deliberate tactic to further pressure Israel into ceasefire. The Washington Post announcing a “hostage deal” story was fake news.
Hamas stated that they lost contact with a number of groups who were holding hostages. They don’t know whether the hostages are alive or not.
As a reminder — Hamas was holding around 150 hostages, Islamic Jihad around 30, and around 60 were held by Palestinian civilians. pic.twitter.com/PF3QtlSav9

Both Israel’s Prime Minister and the White House deny hostage deal.

We have not reached a deal yet, but we continue to work hard to get to a deal. https://t.co/rbSqcqfaKo

Someone rational please tell me if I’m wrong on this: Israel has to make a decision. Must Israel look after and protect the whole of the Israeli people above all else, or should they (the government) put that principle at risk by some sort of “negotiation” with Hamas to free the kidnap victims? Hamas is responsible for the kidnappings and murders, not Israel. If the kidnap victims are killed in the absolute necessity to eliminate the evil savages of Hamas and their supporters, it is on Hamas, not on the IDF, which is not to say that the IDF should not try to free the hostages, but when push comes to shove it is the far greater good to absolutely eliminate Hamas rather than hold back to save hostages. I merely suggest that negotiations with savages is wrong. You can’t bargain with the Devil. It isn’t called the trickster for nothing. The word of the Muslim means nothing. Nothing. If Hamas had any decency then they would release the hostages safely with no conditions attached. May God protect the Israelis and Jews elsewhere who are at risk for their lives.

Read my comment below. Those hostages are as good as dead. They are in the hands of psychopaths.

How many people have been blown to bits in Gaza over the last few weeks. 20.000? All killed by Netanyau and his fellow war criminals.

How many? Not enough anyway. Same for the nazis and their supporters killed by the Allied.

20,000 sounds like a good start. Don’t stop when you’re on a roll

I hope you are wrong, but it seems to be true.
The only thing is to kill as many hamas animals as possible.

Quite so but I won’t believe Israel is serious about protecting itself until I stop hearing the insanity about dropping leaflets to warn muslims they’re about to be bombed. The whole population hates the Jews and supports Hamas! Hamas obviously gets the same warnings; they live to despoil another day.

Israel must act as if the hostages have already been slain. These monsters will abuse and murder these innocent victims of kidnapping.
Vanquish the enemy. Relegate them to the garbage heap of history. The entire purpose of Israel is so Jews can live free without such atrocities.
Yet the world acts to protect such genocidal monsters and cultivates and nurtures them. We know that the United Nations of Jew Hatred were well aware that hospitals and schools were being utilized as centers of terror.

How many of the hostages are still alive, and if any, in what kind of physical and mental state are they? Hamas is preparing us for the awful truth, which they are going to blame Israel for it. As usual.

The WP is a leftist, pro-Palestinian propaganda outlet. I was going to say “unreliable”. But you can rely on it’s leftist, “Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace” slant.

Anyone who is surprised by this must be a Muslim

If you pay criminals to release kidnap victims you incentivise more kidnapping. That’s why sensible governments discourage it. If you give Hamas subhumans a cease fire in exchange for hostages they will take MORE hostages. It ain’t rocket surgery. The only people to benefit from a ceasefire are Hamas as it regroups and rearms. The only people calling for a ceasefire are Leftist Hamas sympathisers.
Don’t pause when you’re winning. Push on, exterminate every Hamas terrorist. Clear Gaza of Muslims and reincorporate it in Eretz Ysrael.

This should give Israel the right to “lose contact” with Ham-@ss and completely level Gaza….

Before any deal is made, there should be an account of the live hostages. If they can’t account for the 240, than Israel should kill a prisoner that’s not accountable. It’s called an eye for an eye or retribution.

No deal. The only thing that is certain when you deal with Hamas or any other terrorist group is that whatever they say will be lies, more lies and nothing but lies. And whenever you deal with kidnappers, whatever the outcome you always loose in the end – because you have encouraged them to do it again.
