Yet more evidence of Hamas barbarity. Trump should act.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14417465/Hamas-sickens-world-parade-hostages-coffins-condemned-Israel.htmlHamas has been condemned for parading the coffins of hostages in Gaza, with the United Nations rights chief saying the 'abhorrent' treatment of the October 7 attack victims 'flies in the face of international law.'How low can the cowards that refuse to show their faces go ?But they should still worry: the IDF will deal with them in the end.And why is President Trump fighting with potential allies in Ukraine and not going to sort out Hamas and other Arabic terrorists ?https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clydwlxykzyo"Israel's 'hearts lie in tatters' as Hamas hands over first dead hostages" - BBC News today.'"The hearts of an entire nation lie in tatters," Israel's president has said, as the bodies of four hostages taken alive by Hamas in its attack on 7 October 2023 were returned to Tel Aviv.Hamas says the bodies are those of a mother and two children from the Bibas family, whose unknown fate has gripped Israel, and Oded Lifschitz, 84, a veteran peace activist.It is the first time the group Hamas has returned captives dead since the ceasefire began last month, with Israel saying it will confirm their identities after forensic examinations.In choreographed scenes reminiscent of recent handovers of living hostages, four black coffins were laid out on a stage decked with propaganda in Khan Younis in southern Gaza in front of crowds of spectators.A Red Cross official appeared to sign documents at a table alongside armed Hamas fighters before the coffins were driven away in Red Cross vehicles.Earlier the Red Cross had called for a dignified handover by Hamas following widespread denunciation of the way in which it had released hostages in recent weeks.It is not known how Shiri, Kfir and his brother Ariel - if confirmed - died. Hamas said in November 2023 that they had been killed in an Israeli air strike, without providing evidence. At the time, then-member of Israel's war cabinet Benny Gantz said there was no confirmation of the claim.The family were taken along with the father, Yarden, from kibbutz Nir Oz when hundreds of Hamas gunmen burst through the border with Israel and attacked communities, security forces sites and a music festival.About 1,200 people - mostly civilians - were killed in the attack and 251 others taken back to Gaza as hostages.Sixty-six hostages taken on 7 October are still being held in Gaza. Three other hostages, taken more than a decade ago, are also being held. About half of all the hostages still in Gaza are believed to be alive'.The whole orchestrated event is sickening to look at and just shows how depraved Hamas Palestinians are.Another question.Is the BBC impartial in its reporting of the Israel/Hamas conflict ?Earlier -"BBC faces questions over Gaza film's Hamas link"https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wpk5re5e1o'The culture secretary has said she will raise concerns with BBC bosses about a documentary on Gaza that was narrated by the son of a Hamas official.The broadcaster has been criticised for Gaza: How To Survive A War Zone, which centred on a 13-year-old boy who is the son of Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture.Lisa Nandy said she would discuss the matter with the BBC's director general and chairman, "particularly around the way in which they sourced the people who were featured in the programme".The BBC said it had not been informed of the family connection in advance by the film's production company, and has apologised "for the omission of that detail".Wonderful editorial control from an organisation we are legally obliged to pay for.
