The Islamists know that hostages have value. From President Reagan trading arms for hostages held by Hezbollah in Lebanon, to the exchange of 1,027 ‘Palestinian’ terrorists — including Yahya Sinwar — for one captured Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit in October od 2011, the Islamic militants have realized that a few civilized Westerners have an outsized value to Western civilization and the democracies. On October 7, 2023, Hamas and their fellow travelers killed 1199 innocent Israelis, raping many of the women before killing them, and burned some of the victims alive. They seized 251 people to be held as hostages, including some children.
One would think that, if the ‘Palestinians’ had any brains, they’d have realized that live hostages should carry more value than dead ones, but realistically, no one ever accused the ‘Palestinians’ of being smart.
‘Unspeakably evil’: Kfir, Ariel Bibas were brutally murdered in Gaza captivity, not by IAF strike
Though the bodies of the two murdered young children were a DNA match, the body of their mother, Shiri, was not.

Official identification has linked the remains of two of the slain Israeli hostages returned to Israel on Thursday from captivity as belonging to Kfir and Ariel Bibas, the IDF confirmed early Friday morning, alongside a report on forensic findings of the case.
Available intelligence and forensic evidence from the identification process have led officials to determine that the two children were brutally murdered in captivity by Gaza terrorists in November 2023, just a month after their abduction, and were not killed by an IAF strike, as Hamas originally claimed.
The two boys were aged nine months and four years old, respectively, at the time of their abduction on October 7, 2023. The bodies were identified using forensic analysis in an interdepartmental collaboration between the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and the Israel Police.
Kfir Bibas was murdered at 10 months old. Ariel was murdered at four years old.
The children were abducted from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz alongside their father, Yarden, and their mother, Shiri.
Though the linked story from The Jerusalem Post does not specify how the children were murdered, the story circulating is that they were strangled to death, barehandedly, by someone. I shall reserve judgement on the strangulation part until I see more corroboration, but if they were strangled, it has to be asked: how could anyone choke a baby to death? The ‘Palestinians’ who held them prisoner were sick bastards regardless of how the two children were murdered, but doubly so, triply so if someone simply choked the life out of them.
These are not civilized people, not by any definition that Westerners would recognize as civilized.
There was a famous, or perhaps infamous would be a better word, picture of a woman, a woman!, wearing a ‘Palestinian’ keffiyeh around her neck, apparently justifying the use of rape and murder by Hamas fighters on October 7th. Would this same young woman be pleased that a ten-month-old and a four-year-old were murdered in cold blood to fight against Israel? The ‘Palestinians’ in Gaza certainly cheered, certainly celebrated when the four bodies were released on Thursday, cheered at the fact that four Jews were stone-cold graveyard dead.
Will the brutal murders of these innocent children make a dent, even the slightest, in the consciences of the pro-‘Palestinian,’ pro-Hamas students infesting our college campuses? Will any of them rethink their support for these savages?
