If it were you, my child, husband, brother, sister, mother,
grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, grandchild, friend. If it were you I would
fight like hell to set you free, to bring you home and into my arms. Safe.
Then we would deal with the aftermath. The nightmares, the
poisoned minds of the children raised to hate themselves and what they came from.
The massive, multi-level trauma of it all, from beginning to the something that
will never end.
Still, from a distance so far away that I don’t want to see
it, I know that procuring your release has broader implications. You are a Hamas
bargaining chip, or rather an Iran bargaining chip for use with Joe Biden, along with a cascade of other evil actors across the globe who will use human
beings—use you—to get what they want. Hamas randomly keeps you alive—if
you are alive—to get concessions; to retrench and regain strength to hurt the
Jewish people; to score a victory; to wound Israel and live to kill, maim, and
destroy more Jews another day.

Every day since October 7th, we have heard Israeli officials say, all the hostages or no ceasefire. It was clear from the start—Israel had been quite clear from the start. Or rather, the objective was clear until it wasn’t, and Israel began to speak of a “partial ceasefire,” when just to speak of this even in a fuzzy sort of way, already put Israel. at a distinct disadvantage. It must be said and taken into account, that while the hostage deal may save the lives of some of the hostages, it will put an untold number of other lives at risk, for example, just now, our dear Israeli soldiers. To breathe life into Hamas is to wreak havoc with the future. This Amalek must be stopped. Hamas must be obliterated, completely.
Ain breira. There is no choice. It's all or nothing. There is no other way. All the
hostages or no ceasefire, partial or otherwise. Israel must hold firm, because
a deal
with Hamas is Obama’s deal, Biden’s deal, a deal with the devil, Iran. For Hamas, this deal translates to Jews ceding
victory and paying the
jizya, even unto releasing 300 felons
back onto the streets of their natural hate-infested society.
We have certainly learned something here: the going rate for a handful of Jews is 300 felons for Hamas to parade as trophies. "How stupid is the Jew?” you might hear from the laughing crowd as they watch the 300 go by, and slap each other on the back. "They turn Gaza into rubble, then cry to us, 'You won!'"
