Hamas Warns It Could Kill All Hostages Unless Israel Meets Demands

10 Dec 2023 ~~ By Joel B. Pollak
A Hamas spokesman suggested Sunday that the terror organization could kill all of the presumed 137 hostages in its custody if Israel does not accede to its demands.
Abu Obeida, a familiar spokesman for Hamas who had not been seen for several weeks, released a video in which he made the threat clear.
“Neither the fascist enemy and its arrogant leadership… nor its supporters… can take their prisoners alive without an exchange and negotiation and meeting the demands of the resistance,” he said, according to the Times of Israel.
It is not clear if Hamas would deliver on that threat. The hostages are the only leverage that Hamas has over Israel, and it uses them as human shields. The Hamas leaders in exile — in luxurious accommodation in Doha, Qatar — would also likely to preserve the hostages alive to ensure that Israel negotiates with them, rather than killing them (as it has promised to do, eventually).
Hamas has tried to use the deaths of individual hostages to deter Israeli military action before. In the latest example, it claimed that Sahar Baruch, 25, a hostage from Kibbutz Be’eri, had been killed in an Israeli rescue attempt. Israel said that Baruch was murdered by Hamas and that the rescue attempt killed several terrorists but found no hostages in the location that was raided.
The new threat could be a sign that Israel’s military pressure is working, forcing Hamas to make sensational threats to survive.
Commentary:
Since Oct 7th there has been no proof of life of those captured and held hostage by Hamas.
That said, the world knows that the previous barbaric actions of Islamic terrorists supports the fact that the hostages may no longer be alive.
The atrocities by Hamas have already been shown consistent with Muslim-terrorist actions of the past.
The leaders of Hamas should be hunted down and dealt with just as we did the Nazi criminals at the end of 1945.
Negotiating with terrorists is wrong because in the future everyone else will think they can take hostages too.
