THREE HOSTAGES FOUND DEAD IN GAZA

Hamas must be annihilated.

From today’s Haaretz, a left-wing Israeli newspaper:

“The Israeli military said Friday that its forces in Gaza recovered the bodies of three hostages taken captive during the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 and returned them to Israel, including two abducted soldiers and 28-year-old Elia Toledano. Toledano was taken in the attack on the Tribe of Nova.”

(You can read the full article below, at the end of this post.)

Since we hear an awful lot of blathering about international law, almost exclusively from people who have no idea what they are talking about, allow me to enlighten with some very basic and indisputable international law:

Under international law, when hostages are kidnapped, the kidnappers are 100% responsible for the well-being and safety of the kidnapped hostages, and any harm that befalls them lies 100% with the kidnappers.

We’re hearing a lot of distorted noise about the horrors inflicted on the people of Gaza. Maybe those making all that noise ought to look at these bodies and understand that it was Hamas who started the war, and it is Hamas and Hamas alone who are responsible the death and destruction Gaza.

Hamas can end this war anytime they want, by simply releasing the hostages still alive, and ceasing all attacks on Israel.

This war will continue until Hamas is wiped out in Gaza, all their infrastructure destroyed, and assassination…
