Elder of Ziyon

Hamas supporters around the world, who march, harass, and vandalize in support of these terrorists, are outspoken about how their heroes are merely "resisting" Israeli oppression when they massacre over a thousand Israelis and kidnap hundreds more as hostages.
But do they justify Hamas when they murder infants and toddlers?
They may push the Hamas narrative that these innocents were killed by Israel itself because the IDF tried to rescue the hostages.
Another way is denial, just as "protesters" have attempted to deny the Hamas raping of women on October. The UN already debunked their denial in March 2024:
“It was a catalogue of the most extreme and inhumane forms of killing, torture and other horrors,” including sexual violence, [Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Pramila Patten] stated. The team also found convincing information that sexual violence was committed against hostages, and has reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may still be ongoing against those in captivity.
That is not stopping those in denial over Hamas murdering the Bibas children.
She describes herself as a genocide researcher, an educator, and a genocide survivor of the Bosnian Serb army.
But to claim that the hostages were physically OK and untouched? Being a survivor of genocide does not automatically confer on her special understanding of genocide or those who commit it.
Buljušmić-Kustura not only seems to ignore the victims of the Hamas massacre itself, but seems to forget how malnourished the released hostages have been and the accounts they have given, as well as the account from the UN in 2024 as quoted above.
Factcheck.org already pointed out in November, 2023, that at least 29 children were murdered by Hamas according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs as well as 30 children taken hostage according to the AP.
Even then, Factcheck.org notes people on social media attempting to deny children were killed, so Buljušmić-Kustura has good company.
Has she forgotten that when Gazans flooded into Israel and slaughtered Israeli civilians, they wiped out entire families such as the Kapshetar family and the Siman Tov family?
But Palestinian terrorists murdering children is not new.
Before the re-establishment of the state of Israel, Arabs murdered children along with the adults:
- 1929 Hebron Massacre – Arab mobs slaughtered 67 Jews, including women and 3 children. Survivors reported brutal killings of entire families.
- 1938 Tiberias Massacre – Arab assailants murdered 19 Jews, including 11 children, when they attacked a Jewish neighborhood and set houses on fire.
Here are some of the post-1948 massacres of Israeli children 10 years old and younger over the years.

Here are the children deliberately murdered by Palestinian terrorists, from 17 years to one day old:
The memories of these precious neshamas should be a blessing, and a further reminder of why Hamas terrorists cannot be allowed to remain in Gaza so close to Israel.
