The bodies of four slain Israeli hostages were returned to Israel on Thursday, 503 days after they were abducted from their homes and dragged to Gaza on October 7, 2023, by Hamas-led terrorists.

Hamas had said earlier in the week that it was handing over the bodies of Shiri Silberman Bibas, her two young sons Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz, who was 83 at the time of his abduction. All four were taken alive from their homes in Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Hamas-led invasion and massacre in southern Israel.

The bodies were transferred to the Red Cross at around 9:30 a.m., in a propaganda-filled ceremony in the Bani Suheila area of southern Gaza's Khan Younis, where the terror group set up a stage covered with propaganda posters in defiance of pleas for a more respectful affair.

From there, the Red Cross handed the caskets over to IDF troops inside the Gaza Strip and, following a brief military cemetery, a convoy carrying the coffins, now draped in Israeli flags, crossed the border into Israel just before midday.

Give it some thought: they are now peddling dead corpses of the children they abducted and murdered, turned their bizarre transaction into a macabre spectacle that even Bela Lugozi's worst production would be hard pressed to replicate, parading the coffins of the hostages they murdered as if they were some kind of coveted trophies to the cheers of adoring crowds.

And the response from certain corners of the media and certain NGOs is decidedly underwhelming.

If that doesn't get the blood of all the self-professed humanutarians boiled, they are all dead as stone. Probably deader, if that's possible.

1. Can't hardly wait for the social media posts claiming this is Israel's fault.

May those slain hostages RIP.

2. This is grisly ... so the victims were never buried in one and a half years?

3. I don't know why I'm surprised Hamas made such a spectacle of it.

I shouldn't be.

4. Nazis have been upstaged.

From Facebook

At 7.10 we were jumped
The first mission was Nir Oz, between corpses, smells of death, burned houses and defense missions, I came across by chance on Facebook in the group "Lost in the envelope". I understood that there are a lot of helpless owners that are looking for their property and I have a way to help them because I'm there and the field is a closed military field. So I left my phone in one of the posts and said that whoever needs help in Nir Oz, I'm here.
The phone exploded with calls and messages, for some I managed to help find the dog/cat and for some I didn't.
On one of the calls, a guy called David Levi called me and asked that we make a video call and he would explain to me how to get to a certain house and look for the dog.
So we made a video call and I walked towards the house. I remember the look and smell when I opened the door.. There is no way to explain. I immediately turned the telephone and told uncle, the dog died. He was shot.
He asked to see to be sure and I suggested you shouldn't.
"My brother-in-law, his wife and children were kidnapped to Gaza, that's not what's going to break me."
"I must be sure, show me"

For the days I realized I was in the Bibs family home.
The dog was named Tonto. Jordan's mother insisted on taking him to the burial, only proves what special and valuable people they are that even in their difficult hour they did not forget the best friend of the family.
We're already in round 4, Rafah, but Tonto stayed in my head throughout the fight, I was in pain for him a lot but I begged and prayed that he would be the only victim in this house.
What sadness, what evil! We won't forget and we won't forgive !!
Rest in peace Shiri Kfir and Ariel, Tonto is waiting for you 💔💔💔💔

God bless you

5. And yet, the ICCC issued an arrest warrant for Trump ally Netanyahu. Go figure.

London — The International Criminal Court on Friday condemned sanctions imposed on its officials by President Trump. The United Nations court, which is in the Hague, Netherlands, said the U.S. measures were intended to "harm (the Court's) independent and impartial judicial work."

"The Court stands firmly by its personnel and pledges to continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the world, in all Situations before it," the ICC said in a statement. "We call on our 125 States Parties, civil society and all nations of the world to stand united for justice and fundamental human rights."

The Muslim religious leader was rightfully appalled at the transfer of the coffins by Hamas

8. Reports coming in that it wasn't Shiri Bibas's body

After forensic testing it isn’t the mother’s body that was returned and they don’t know who it is. Didn’t match any of the known hostages. Sickening.
