Hamas Threatens To Begin Publicly Executing Hostages If Israel Doesn't Halt Unrelenting Gaza Strikes
Hamas Threatens To Begin Publicly Executing Hostages If Israel Doesn't Halt Unrelenting Gaza Strikes | ZeroHedge

Update(1350ET): Casualties in the Gaza Strip are soaring (at over 560 dead) after a full day of very heavy, frequent airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force. For the first time Monday, Israel says it has pacified the border, with a military spokesperson announcing, "There are no terrorists crossing the fence from Gaza into Israel." The confirmed death toll among Israelis is now over 900.

"Since this morning, there have been a few encounters with terrorists. There have been none at all in the last few hours," the military spokesman said. Israel earlier announced a full "siege" of Gaza, and there are signs a ground invasion could be imminent. Hamas and Gaza militants have announced holding at least 100 hostages, but now Hamas is threatening to execute them. Netanyahu on Sunday had warned Palestinian civilians to begin clearing out, but as some observers have noted, where will they go?

According to the latest from the Times of Israel on Hamas' new threat to kill more Israelis:

The Hamas terror group is threatening to begin executing hostages in response to Israeli strikes in Gaza carried out without warnings, the spokesperson for Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades says, according to Gaza’s Shehab news outlet.
“From this hour, any targeting of our people in the safety of their homes, without warning, will be met with the execution of civilian hostages, which will be broadcast with video and audio,” says the spokesperson, who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Obeida.

Yeah, I saw the video of the kiddie cages and them laughing at the kids in the cages. Fucking animals should be in the cage with the kids guarding them.

I was kind of shocked that they didn't at least allow soldiers and/or former soldiers to have guns.
Actually me too, for a country to have enemies on all borders except Jordan, and to have a mandatory military policy, 2 years service for women and now 2 1/2 years for men, use to be 3 years. They just called up 300,000 reserves. But why not always be armed? "To Arms!, To Arms!" learn from America...

One thing, I saw someone on Newsmax bring up, we all see the 1000+ dead headlines, we need to remember this is a country of only 9 million, if you compared that ratio/percentage to the US, that would 10s of thousands dead here...this is a huge deal...

I say this all the time about all the secular religions; that I already have one, and mine doesn't force others to adopt it. If a religion is compelling my participation, like the green religion, then it's a bad religion, by definition.
That and declaring all other belief systems as evil.

I declare other belief systems as inept and corrupt all the time. The only difference is that I'm responsible to mine, and others are on their own. There's zero harm in me saying someone's belief system is corrupt. If someone is killing and raping women and children then that's different than saying my belief system is corrupt. I have a moral obligation to speak honestly, but I have no moral obligation to force others to conform to my belief system.

You may have heard "All wars are bankers' wars". The BRICS currency is getting stronger. War is breaking out in the middle east. Not meaning to insinuate anything, but I'll be awfully suspicious if BRICS ends up being a casualty.

BRICS is a casualty because it's comprised of backwards nations. Ineptitude can only be sustained for a moment.

Regardless of what religion one professes to be, or even if one claims to be an atheist or agnostic, I cannot see how anyone can know of the intentional slaughtering and raping of innocents and not feel sadness and anger. That should not be condoned by any and all people, even outside of religion. To me that's indescribably WRONG, no matter the motive or reason. :confused: :mad:

The Cowardness of these Terrorist to attack/target defenseless civilians instead of attacking military speaks volumes of who they are. Shooting young people in their backs as they run away at a concert. They all need to be eliminated...but as we know with history, ISIS is a good example, once one is eliminated another one forms...
