The why behind the war. Free every hostage. Now!

In the end, Gaza decided that they would rather risk war than give up holding the 59 humans - both alive and dead bodies - that they stole from their families over 520 days ago. What a decision to make. But it is one they made again and again and again since October 7, 2023.

Your reminder that Israel offered $5 million and a safety leaving Gaza to any Palestinian who released a single hostage. Not one came forward.

When kids from the murdered and kidnapped families of October 7 were invited to the Israeli President’s Residence to celebrate Purim, they dressed up as superheroes. Maya Lifshitz chose to dress up as her grandfather, Oded Lifshitz, kidnapped to Gaza and murdered there at age 83.

Just finished mowing my lawn.

If someone stole your grandpa, how long would you wait for them to give him back before you stopped supplying them with goods and services? Israel waited 520 days.

A better future for Gaza begins when Gaza releases the humans it stole from their families and kept as hostages for over 500 days. That day could have been over 500 days ago. But that day’s delay is 100% on them for prioritizing hostage-taking over a better life for all.

No need to watch documentaries to get perspective on the current situation in Gaza - you can watch first-person filmed footage by Hamas themselves. The Gazans who massacred, raped and kidnapped Israelis on October 7 filmed it all. Watch that. No filters.

💔The hostages signs for Shiri Bibas and her babies, Ariel and Kfir at the airport in Tel Aviv are now a shrine.🧡

RELEASED GAZA HOSTAGE TESTIMONY: 🔴They were kept in chains. 🔴They were held in pitch black. 🔴They were starved. 🔴They had no access to medicine. 🔴They were psychologically abused. 🔴Two mentally ill hostages are largely unresponsive.

The *only* victims of starvation in Gaza are the hostages.

Baby Kfir Bibas, stolen by both Hamas jihadis and ordinary Gazans, kept kidnapped for most of his young life, then murdered is symbolic of their evil “cause”. The world should be screaming to the heavens in outrage at this barbarism.

🚨Israel will release 602 Palestinian prisoners this weekend, including 50 serving life sentences for murder and terrorism. 🎗️In return, they will receive 4 bodies of murdered hostages and 6 living hostages, brutally kidnapped to Gaza and held there for over 500 days.

Here in Israel, we are all part of the Bibas family.

Breaking: On Thursday, Israel will receive the bodies of dead hostages murdered and macabrely held in Gaza by Palestinian terrorists.

Released hostage Emily Damari prays at the Western Wall for the release of all the remaining hostages from captivity in Gaza for 500 days and counting. 🎗️

The Israelis released today were innocent hostages: dads, brothers and sons stolen from their homes and held for almost 500 days. The Palestinians released today were cold-blooded terrorists including those serving sentences for mass murder. There is no equivalence.

What do you call a society that brutally kidnaps fathers, massacres their families, starves them almost to death, and then glories in these actions, gleefully taking photos of them?

16 months.

What would you call a society that kidnaps babies?

Masked, armed, cowardly jihadi men versus one brave, courageous young woman, finally free.🎗️

The strongest 80-year-old who endured 482 days of hell as a hostage in Gaza, surrounded by his joyous family.

🚨🎗️Chaotic scenes in Khan Younis, as Gazans surround and hit the cars carrying the hostages set to be released.

FIRST HUG: 80-year-old hostage Gadi Mozes hugs 29-year-old Arbel Yehud - both were kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists from the same kibbutz and were held for 482 days. Many more hugs await these resilient Israelis. ❤️

Armed, masked, cowardly Palestinian jihadi men vs. a brave, courageous young Israeli woman. Finally free.🎗️

It’s baby Kfir Bibas’s birthday. But he’s *never even celebrated* one birthday. Palestinian terrorists kidnapped him to Gaza as a 9 month old baby and have held him captive ever since.

Israel has not yet received the names of the hostages that Hamas has committed to release from Gaza tomorrow. 3 women were due to have been named by now. Hamas already breaking the deal before it even starts.

Hamas prays the deal will get jihadi terrorists freed from prison, with blood on their hands. Israel prays it gets this stolen baby back.

When Red Cross personnel go into Gaza to escort the hostages home, it will be the first time anyone from that organization has seen any of them, over 470 days since they were kidnapped.

Two different sides of the deal: The Israelis being freed are innocent hostages, kids, elderly, men and women brutally stolen to Gaza and mistreated. The Palestinians being released are jihadis, including perpetrators of evil terrorist attacks, with blood on their hands.

Every hostage currently in Gaza.

They report that soldiers have been killed, What we hear is: our sons and brothers have been killed.

“We've screamed, we've cried, we've pleaded with the world. What more must we do to bring our girls home? The raw and never-ending anguish of five mothers whose kidnapped daughters are STILL in the clutches of Hamas monsters www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Evil Palestinian terrorists published a propaganda film of kidnapped young woman Liri Albag. Her heartbroken family requested that the video and photos taken from it NOT be shared. In the past, her mother spoke of being informed Liri and other girls were held as Hamas slaves.

The oldest living Olympic medalist, Holocaust survivor Agnes Keleti, has died at 103. The gymnast born in Hungary, her father murdered in Auschwitz, won 10 medals at the 1952 & 1956 games. She moved to Israel, coaching the national team for decades. May her memory be a blessing.

In Israel, even the Nutella wishes you a Happy Hanukkah!

Prior to October 7, one of the worst Palestinian terrorist outrages was the mass-murder of British-Israeli mother of five Lucy Dee, and her two daughters Maia and Rena. Father and husband Rabbi Leo pays tribute to his daughter on her birthday.

Here’s how cowardly Palestinian terrorists are: today’s victim was an 83-year-old Holocaust survivor, Ludmila Lipovsky. She lived in an assisted living facility, and was waiting for her daughter to take her to the doctor. The jihadi stabbed her to death 6 times, murdering her.

Happy Hannukah!
