(9,445 posts)We think that there are a hundred left living, but Hamas will not say.
They are:
- Being subjected to sexual assault
-have burns inflicted upon them by hot metal objects
-Are forced to watch graphic footage of the Oct. 7 massacre perpetrated by Hamas
-their hair is pulled out.
-They are left tied and bound for many hours or even days
-they are forced to watch fellow hostages die
-they are not allowed to see their families
-they have surgeries and medical procedures performed without painkillers or anesthesia
-women are used as sexual slaves.
But apparently, to many here, this does not matter.
Not to mention that tens of thousands of rockets have been shot into Israel from Gaza.
Not to mention that given the slightest chance, they would do more Oct 7 massacres.
Not to mention that they have refused all hostage release proposals
Not to mention that this war has the lowest civilian-to-military kill rate of any urban war ever.
Not to mention that virtually all "news" out of Gaza is manipulated, and much is fabricated.
Not to mention that the population of Gaza continues to increase - Jews are just bad at genocide.
Not to mention that if you are siding with Hamas, you are siding with Iran.
Not to mention that al Jazzerra is a propaganda arm of Iran and lies like crazy.
Not to mention that despite your hatred of Netanyahu and Israelis, the war would end very soon after the hostages are released.
Not to mention that many 13-year-olds and up are Hamas soldiers.
Not to mention that if a Gazan kills a Jew, they are paid for doing so.
Not to mention that if a Hamas terrorist is killed, the family will get plenty of money from Hamas. Maybe more than the Hamas person could make.
Not to mention that if "genocide" was Israel's goal, there would have been zero residents of Gaza left alive by November 2023
And yes, it is tragic that some innocents are killed and maimed. It's never a good idea to start a war.
But yeah, globalize the intifada and kill all Jews. You know, Christians are next on their list.
Who can stop Netanyahu? Maybe, but doubtfully Iran. Seems like a lot of people are on their side.
