Hamas executed the 6 hostages rather than allow them to be rescued.

[madaboutharry]

IDF soldiers were near. Hamas chose to execute these 6 hostages rather than allow their possible rescue. They were murdered days ago. They were found shot in the head.
Hamas is an evil entity. Their goal never will be a path toward peace. Their goal is to bring death and mayhem to the Jewish people, not just in Israel but everywhere in the world. Hamas has no interest in the future of the Palestinian people. Their goal is Jihad.

May all who celebrate Hamas, make excuses for Hamas, have ever uttered the words "what about?" be cursed.

These innocent people endured nearly 11 months of captivity and horror. May their memories forever be a blessing.

1. I'm waiting for the What Abouts

To dismiss their executions because - reasons. Harsh hurts my soul in the same way Brittney Griner 's captivity in Russia did.

It hurts my SOUL that they survived 11 months and Hamas did it to show their depravity and cruelty.

49. Circles always close. Hamas will pay 100 fold for their crimes against humanity.

[womanofthehills]

70. NYT's reports each side says the other side killed hostages

It’s hard to know in war!

[SunSeeker]

75. Hamas is LYING, as always. Hamas shot them 1-2 days before IDF found them.

When they were found, they had already been shot, well before the IDF had entered the tunnel. They had been dead for one or two days before they were discovered; they appeared to have been shot on Thursday or Friday, no doubt Hamas had realized the IDF was closing in. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israeli-bodies-found-in-gaza-rcna169125

And think about it. Why would the IDF shoot these hostages? Netanyahu would have benefited greatly politically if he had managed to rescue them alive. With them dead, Israel has predictably erupted in protest, calling him incompetent and calling for his ouster.

Hamas, on the other hand, wants to discourage rescue attempts. One sick but effective way to do that is to kill the hostage if a rescue attempt is made. This is pretty typical kidnapper behavior.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

77. JesusFuckingChrist!!!!!

[madaboutharry]

90. It is NOT hard to know!

Hamas is comprised of psychopathic evil terrorists whose intent is Jihad!

Thinking of a famous quote from Maya Angelou right now.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

91. I really hate to say this,

but this one is constantly attempting to do the whataboutism.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

93. Wow!!!

Taking this one to the proverbial woodshed.
Great job.

[womanofthehills]

119. Haaretz reports

Haaretz:

“In the wake of Saturday's recovery of the bodies of six Israeli hostages killed execution-style by Hamas in Gaza, reactions across the Arab world have been varied and intense.”

“However, a significant number of commentators and analysts rejected this narrative, arguing that Israel might have had a role in the deaths, whether directly or through negligence, and is now using Hamas as a convenient scapegoat.”

Link to tweet

?s=46

[MarineCombatEngineer]

121. What utter bullshit,

So now that HAMAs has openly admitted to murdering those HOSTAGES, yes, hostages and have said they'll murder other HOSTAGES, again, hostages, if the IDF attempts a rescue op,
do you still insist on believing HAMAs that the IDF are responsible?

Your trying to throw doubt on HAMAs murdering these HOSTAGES, one more time, hostages, is disgusting in my view.

[Happy Hoosier]

145. I'm trying to be generous here...

... but I've seen you time and again try and defelct blame from Hamas. You can support Palestinians and oppose Netenyahoo, or even Israel in general, while still acknowledging the wrong-doing of the brutal Hamas terrorists.

And when you fail to do so, it undermines your other statements substantially. if you think you are being a good advocate for Palestine, I urge you to reconsider your constant efforts to excuse Hamas.

[Hekate]

95. The NYT says that? Well golly gee whiz. I remember how impossible it was to know who did My Lai...

Anyone too young to know about My Lai can just go look it up in a reputable source.

[maxsolomon]

122. The NYT reported that Hamas claimed that.

Which is accurate: Hamas claimed that they were killed by IDF gunfire.

The NYT didn't say it was true.

[Hekate]

123. That is some small comfort

[MarineCombatEngineer]

96. Really? The NYT?

Because they are sooooo unbiased against Israel.

[maxsolomon]

124. Having read their reporting on this conflict since it started.

I don't see this bias you see.

Every report on Gaza is written in their "objective" style; every tally of casualties from an IDF action is appended with "per the Hamas-run Ministry of Health" or the equivalent.

Did you detect anti-Israel bias in their reporting on the Gaza Polio-vaccination campaign over the weekend?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

125. You have your opinion, I have mine,

let's leave it at that.

[maxsolomon]

127. Your opinion is pretty common on DU.

The NYT gets held to a standard that no other MSM paper is. Not the WaPo, certainly not the WSJ or USA Today.

It's almost like they're the Democratic Party of Newspapers - more is expected, less is forgiven.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

128. I'm kind of confused,

what part of let's leave it at that didn't you understand?

71. I know... 💙

[LiberalFighter]

108. My feeling too

Those supporting Palestine are supporting Hamas. It doesn't help when they allow Hamas flags to be flown or pro-Hamas statements are waved within their groups.

I cannot support these Palestinian groups. I cannot support them when they attack Jewish groups in the USA.

I cannot support the demands they are making on Biden. Without considering the work he is trying to make with all parties involved.

[wordstroken]

59. So, so sickening. Traumatic just reading about it.

[JoeColo]

67. I knew right away on Oct. 7 that Hamas did wrong by Palestinians.

Supposedly "their people," but they just don't care about them. There was absolutely zero chance of anything good coming out of it for them, and every chance of everything bad. Israel always retaliates for Hamas attacks, and even a 2-year-old would know they'd retaliate much harder than in the past. This latest is going to make it worse for the Palestinians than it already is.

Shame on both of them for prolonging this war!!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. LOL, this is sarcasm, right?

If so, you forgot this:
Unless of course you're serious?J
Are you?

Ya know, maybe if HAMAs hadn't invaded Israel in the first place, raping, murdering, desecrating bodies, kidnapping innocent civilians, the hostages would still be alive, but I suppose that because Israel tried to rescue those hostages, it's their fault and are responsible for their deaths.
JGTFG.

[aeromanKC]

15. Yep, Trump and Netenyahoo are prolonging the massacre

Again, shame on them!!

It also goes without saying Fuck Hamas too!! But that's a given.

[hardluck]

16. And yet it went without saying in your first post.

Nice try….

[MarineCombatEngineer]

17. LOLOL.

Yeah, ok, I guess you're right, , see how I added this, but I suppose you won't get it.

Have a great Sunday, unlike the dead hostages that HAMAs murdered.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

98. Not for me it isn't.

[Elessar Zappa]

14. Hamas killed them.

Hamas is to blame. They have free will like everyone else.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

19. And here you are, more or less, excusing what horrors HAMAs inflicted on these innocent

civilians before they murdered them, shame on you for not condemning HAMAs, for you, it's all about Israel being the villain.

The transparency is glaring.

[aeromanKC]

21. No it's not. Fuck Netenyahoo not Israel.

Fuck Hamas. Fuck Netenyahoo. Fuck Trump.

Netenyahoo knew about and October 7th and let it happen. I will always believe that.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

22. You sure didn't put that in you initial post, which would lead a reasonable person to

conclude that you.........oh, never mind, you know what you did and all the denying it won't change it.
Have a great Sunday and the following Labor Day, something the DEAD HOSTAGES don't get because HAMAs murdered them rather than let the IDF rescue them.

[aeromanKC]

24. Nevermind? Not so quick!! The only thing missing was the word too

at the end of my original subject line. Blood is on their hands TOO!! 3 of the 6 hostages murdered by Hamas were in line to be released before Trump's call to Netenyahoo.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

25. And here you are excusing what those HAMAs animals did by murdering the hostages.

You're being very transparent here, but you do you.

[Beastly Boy]

46. There is no "too"

Terrorists kidnapped and killed hostages. Who else kidnapped and killed hostages "too"?

[TheKentuckian]

86. There is no "too". Hamas took the hostages in the first place

meaning they were wholly responsible for them being in any danger at all.

They then murdered the hostages just to be certain because their lives were leverage and if the leverage was in danger of loss then they had no further purpose.

"In line for release"????

MADNESS!!!

They should have never been "in line" for being kidnapped into captivity at all!

Your "fuck Hamas" was "silent" (non existent actually) because it was an afterthought at most, yet they are the ones that took the hostages in the first place and then killed them rather than suffering the thought they would be freed.

Here is a "deal" release the rest of the hostages immediately and surrender or know what a "killing season" really is. How about nary a dung beetle nor blade of grass, final answer so think clearly.

[AloeVera]

109. Nary a dung beetle or a blade of grass.

There are 6 recs so far for a post threatening total annihilation of every living organism. More than Genocide. Armageddon of Palestinians and their land and all who live on it.

Terrifying and shocking.

[JohnSJ]

26. No, shame on Hamas for Oct 7th, raping, killing, and torturing

and shame on those who make excuses for the depravity of Hamas who started this

Hamas is the one who has blood on their hands, and that includes the deaths of Palestinians

[MarineCombatEngineer]

27. Thank you.

This one is being very transparent.

[aeromanKC]

32. And don't forget Netenyahoo too!!

Netenyahoo knew and let it happen. Hamas is not the only one with blood on their hands. Netenyahoo could have prevented Oct.7th and didn't for personal reasons.

[Beastly Boy]

45. Netanyahu didn't kidnap the hostages. Netanyahu didn't kill the hostasges.

Let's not twist any genuine concern for the hostages out of deflecting from the murdering terrorists, ok?

[JohnSJ]

50. Bullshit. Netanyahu didn't force Hamas to invade Israel and rape, torture, kill, and take hostages. That is All on

hamas.

This is like blaming the victims over the rapist. What happened on October 7th has nothing to do with Netanyahu.

[yagotme]

88. So, Netty was supposed to invade Gaza BEFORE the attack, to stop it?

Or something like that?

Last edited Mon Sep 2, 2024, 01:50 PM - Edit history (1)

What kind of person defaces a beautiful library with red handprints? What kind of person paints death-signs on people’s front doors? What kind of person encourages and celebrates violence against American Jews just for existing, for being prominent in academia? What kind of person calls for the utter extinction of the State of Israel and every person in it?

If American protestors don’t understand the meaning of the slogans they chant and the meaning of the symbols they splash on people’s houses — then they are idiots who don’t understand the nature of the company they keep.

[Voltaire2]

132. And what were the massive protests in Israel about?

[Hekate]

137. Excuse me. Do you think the Israeli Jews are calling for themselves to be driven into the sea?

Painting Hamas symbols that mean “kill the occupants” on their own front doors in Tel Aviv?

Because that is what is happening here in the US. Somebody in the mobs of young American protestors sure as hell knows what these things mean. While American protestors wear their keffiyahs from Amazon, they might give some thought to who they are keeping company with. The slogans and vandalism are from Hamas, a terrorist organization. Anyone who claims to be Pro-Palestinian must reject Hamas, or be thought a fool.

We are assuredly not living in the best of all possible worlds.

Israelis who are marching against Netanyahu want the best of what their country stands for to return. But they assuredly have not forgotten the attack on Oct. 7 last year, nor have they forgotten the well-documented atrocities committed by Hamas on that day. Hamas is a jihadist terrorist group, and they will kill anyone who gets in their way, whether Palestinian or Gazan or Jew.

[Voltaire2]

146. no, I think they were demanding that th government implement a ceasefire immediately.

I'll be right back after I remove all the words you put in my mouth.

[Sky Jewels]

58. Wrong.

The vast, vast majority of protesters are marching because they are horrified that Netanyahu's IDF has ruthlessly slaughtered and maimed and starved tens of thousands of innocent Gazans and leveled countless neighborhoods. After Hamas (which is not the same as "all Gazans&quot inflicted unspeakable evil on Israelis on 10/7, Israel turned around and inflicted exponentially more evil on Gaza.

In my opinion, people who are upset by the deaths of some of the hostages and not by the deaths of tens of thousands of Gazans should take a look at their values and their humanity. For the record, I am horrified by both types of deaths. Gazans are just as human as Israelis, and vice versa.

[Lucky Luciano]

64. In Chicago on the day after...

I saw celebration and Hamas supporters inspired by the previous day’s events. Palestinian flags waving from cars, honking horns, etc. They were exhilarated and inspired.

That’s why I don’t give a flying fuck about “innocent” Palestinians. They should have unequivocally denounced the hyper-sadistic operation of 10/7 and say that “while we believe Palestinians are treated badly, we do not condone such atrocities.” If they did this, I would agree that the Israeli response is not justified…but instead nobody seriously denounced the sadism of Hamas. They are therefore effectively Hamas.

[PeaceWave]

68. Vicious and hateful.

[Lucky Luciano]

84. Agreed

It was insane to see so many people inspired by such a vicious, hateful, and sadistic attack on thousands of people.

[yardwork]

85. I saw the same. Unapologetic celebrations of Hamas.

Celebrations that Hamas "learned to fly" and engaged in "glorious retribution."

[oldsoftie]

81. Most of them are "followers"; not knowing the full story of what they're even protesting.

Many are also PAID to be there. Just like the types who "protest" in Atlanta; almost all of those arrested aren't even from GEORRGIA, much less ATL.
Paid to agitate.

[RandomNumbers]

107. They should be protesting for HAMAS to return the hostages, and deliver the criminals and rapists

of Oct 7 to justice.

Had the world truly turned on Hamas and forced them to do this on Oct. 8 - or anytime thereafter - where would we be now? How many lives saved and suffering avoided?

[NickB79]

118. Then the protesters need to do a MUCH better job of policing their marches

Because they're allowing antisemites and pro-Hamas supporters to mingle and chant their disgusting slogans freely, with no pushback.

The fact they didn't IMMEDIATELY turn on those people within their ranks says a lot about where they stand.

[Hekate]

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. Yeah. I knew it was a rhetorical question, but my frustration with these disrespectful "protesters" sometimes gets..

[Sympthsical]

44. They're not protesting

They're advocating.

And they are pellucidly clear on precisely what they are advocating for.

[Tarheel_Dem]

48. "Advocating" my Aunt Fannie. What's been clear from the outset is these "protesters" were proud of what...

happened on 10/7. Otherwise, why haven't they come down hard against Hamas for kidnapping and killing innocent people & for the hell the Palestinians are suffering as a result of 10/7? Have you, like the M$M & these so-called "protesters", forgotten how all this shit got started?

Hamas got exactly the result they were looking for. I'll give them credit for one thing, they've got a helluva PR operation to make so many Americans fall for their "pro Palestinian" bs. It has nothing to do with being pro Palestine, it's all about being anti Israel.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

38. I think we both know the answer to that question. nt

Hostages, innocent people kidnapped by terrorists, were shot in the head and executed. That shouldn’t be a platform for a both sides discussion. This is thread dedicated to the memory of 6 people murdered in cold blood by evil terrorists. It was not meant to be a debate.

[Hekate]

101. Interesting. Just got here June 27 and already convinced that "both sides do it"

[TheKentuckian]

114. It is always some tired "both sides" garbage when Hamas is clearly responsible

but one side gets the blame squarely if there is any question or if a Palestinian is killed even if they are Hamas operatives because every single one is chalked as an innocent.

A murderous rapist is somehow filtered and Hatewashed into a new born babe in this stupid ass game.

[LeftInTX]

63. But, but...They were killed by IDF or It's Israel's fault...Hamas will say....

"IDF soldiers killed them"
"IDF bombs mamed them so badly, that we put them out of their misery"
"They were IDF"
"They were killed by Israel".

[no_hypocrisy]

72. Has the United Nations condemned HAMAS

not only for the kidnapping and murder of Israeli and Israeli-American citizens, but for mass murder of Palestinians?

Yes, the IDF did the killing, but HAMAS put the Palestinians in locations where they were at great risk of harm and death.

[oldsoftie]

78. Have they EVER?

[RandomNumbers]

106. HAMAS uses Palestinians as human shields. As they have always done.

The existence of HAMAS is a continual violation of whatever is left of the rules of war.

Netanyahu and Likud have made their own contributions to making the conflict worse, for their own ends; but this was totally predictable and seemingly the precise plan of Hamas in planning the Oct. 7 atrocities.

The actions of HAMAS actually strengthen the right wing nutjobs in Israel. The HAMAS leaders don't care, because they are living comfortably outside of Gaza. They feed lies to the Gazans to get their support, then take horrific actions against Israel that are guaranteed to elicit draconian response - and create more suffering in Gaza, which they do not care about one bit, except its utility as propaganda.

[soandso]

117. Hamas and Netanyahu (and those aligned with him)

seem to have some of the same objectives. Both sides want a fight to the death of the other and neither wants a two state solution.

[Joinfortmill]

76. Amen.

[OrlandoDem2]

82. HAMAS wants to spread their hateful ideology throughout the world.

They must be eliminated!!

[elias7]

83. Not only Hamas, people don't get this is a jihad vs the west

The influencing on college campuses is a decade long plot to influence the minds of the young to be anti American, anti democratic, and covert them to Islam. Hamas is but one small piece, just as they are but one of the half dozen groups currently attacking Israel

[Richard D]

87. So few understand or see this.

It's so bloody clear if you look even a little deeper. When did the antisemetic and Israel hate demonstrations start? October 8, Maybe Oct 7. IOW before Israel counter-attacked Gaza. It was all planned.

Gaza is a sacrificial piece. Obviously, Hamas (Iran) doesn't care about Gazans. Hell, they could have ended the war anytime in the last 10 months. Or not started it. There would be a hellofalot of Gazans and Israelis alive today that are not.

But, of course someone will probably say that I'm Islamaphobic. Very little could be further from the truth.

[Calculating]

92. Disgusting

This just about puts me in the "finish them" camp. Send Israel more bombs.

You may disagree the murderers have any responsibility. You would not be alone in that viewpoint. IMO, they could have chose NOT to pull the trigger, but they didn't.

141. Benjamin Netanyahu can end this anytime.

Are you upset with Israelis protesting his inaction?

147. Netanyahu didn't start it - the terrorists Hamas took hostages

on 10/11/23 and could release them at any point. Why are they assassinating them instead? Freedom fighters, my a**. Netanyahu is apparently the only world leader that is supposed to sit calmly and not defend his country. I'll be honest - I'm not conservative, and I'm certainly not his biggest fan. But he is also not the one who started this.

144. Israelis are pissed at Netanyahoo for his continually moving goals posts on cease fire negotiations.

3 of the hostages killed were listed as part of a cease-fire deal agreed to by Hamas.

Netanyahoo didn't kill the hostages, but he failed to save them in the eyes of many Israelis.
