Here is a live video of a group of Israelis watching the release of three of the hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher, captured during the October 7 massacre. They are all young women, and of course they are alive. We know that some families will be getting their relatives in boxes, which is ineffably sad, but today we can rejoice at this reunion of the living.
The released:
‘ashirah lyhwh ky ga’oh ga’ah (Exodus 15:1).
I’m waiting for one released hostage to rage with fire against Israel,
“You should have considered us all dead, and annihilated Hamas regardless of how many of us hostages died in the process. All Israelis are combatants, and we give our lives to save the nation. Now you lost the war. Shame.”
It is hard for Israel to cease the war for hostages – which Hamas exploits.
What if it were our beloveds in Gaza?
It sounds cruel to say they’re forfeit. Which is why “We don’t negotiate with terrorists” is always subject to wiggle room in democracies. It is a hard balance to maintain, particularly in this instance.
I have faith that Netanyahu hasn’t lost the plot and understands that hostilities against Hamas can be recommenced soon.
“And then the wider war begins” – Henry Kissinger.
I wrote this here yesterday, but late, about the “deal”.
Middle East “ceasefire”. An unnecessary suck up to the international “community”. Too early while a single building still stands in Gaza and a single member of Hamas is alive. Sloppy IDF, sloppy.
It is the Middle East, the Islamosphere – their rules (see Koran for instructions on ethics of war).
Read it for some excellent moral squalor – or turn on the TV to see it in real life.
They constantly say they want Sharia – I say make their wishes come true as per the Koran. Islam never had an Enlightenment like us where the idiocy of religion was castrated and defanged … soooo… every jot and tittle in it is 100% valid today. To even suggest otherwise is a capital offense.
Onwards Israeli heroes.

Yep.
I can’t watch it. It says I have to sign in to prove I’m not a bot.
Anyone having better luck?
Do you mean the YouTube video, Frau? I could watch it but all I saw was a large crowd of people evidently awaiting the release.. never saw the hostages…
OK, so not worth fussing about. I read that the Palestinians were celebrating…likely that’s not shown.
Start over and rather than clicking on the big red arrow in the center, click on the watch on YouTube symbol lower down.
OK Thanks.
