And here I begin with the words of Benjamin Netanyahu, who upon hearing that Hamas did not, at first, return the body of Shiri Bibas as per the ceasefire agreement, and that they had also savagely murdered Shiri and Yarden's two young sons, lead him to state, “As the prime minister of Israel, I vow that I will not rest until the savages who executed our hostages are brought to justice. They do not deserve to walk the earth. Nothing will stop me. Nothing.” And to that I say no truer words spoken for the sooner Hamas and all who support them are eliminated, the sooner both some semblance of healing and the working towards a true and lasting peace can finally begin.
And also upon hearing his that, “Shiri Bibas' body was not returned as promised,” adding to President Trump’s words of just a few weeks ago that, “all hell will break loose” if all the hostages aren't released and all bodies aren't returned by a certain date...special hostage envoy Adam Boehler warned Hamas that they will face “total annihilation” if they do not immediately release all the hostages. And to Boehler's words I also add my own words that, “not only should Hamas be annihilated but so too should every Hamas supporting Palestinian man, woman, and child which might, in this case, sadly mean all of Gaza residents.” And why do I say what some will deem to be but hate fueled words of revenge...because to date as I write this article, I have not heard even one Gaza resident come forward to condemn Hamas' actions of October 7th; the horrendous treatment the hostages received while captives of Hamas; nor the fact that it's Hamas who has broken what was agreed to in “phase one” of the ceasefire agreement. Remember, if one does not condemn, one condones.
So while Hamas...who thinks themselves invincible but who in my mind are “pieces of human garbage”...still loves to play “dress up” and strut around in military fatigues while pointing loaded rifles at terrified hostages head; these anything but men continue to cover their own faces out of fear of being identified, outed, and publicly named. Cowards all...cowards who deliberately, and in “cold blood,” murder helpless babies with their own bare hands and thinks that makes them men. “Denizens of Hell” is what they really are for there are no words that can describe those who relish in showing the civilized world the end result of their inhumane actions...actions that have taken Ernest Hemingway's words that, “the smallest coffins are the heaviest coffins of all,” to an entirely new level.
And to deliberately add insult and injury to the Bibas family's pain, and to the pain of 84-year old hostage Oded Lifschitz family...whose remains were returned on the sane day as the Bibas children... Hamas not only parading the tiny coffin of baby Kfir around in a malicious attempt to show the world that Hamas still deems themselves to the boss in Gaza; Shiri Bibas' coffin held not her promised remains but those of an unidentified Palestinian woman instead. And while the coffins were mockingly paraded through the streets, Palestinians...including children...applauded and spit on the coffins as they passed by. And it's the images of baby Kfir's tiny coffin and that of his brother Ariel, that are now ingrained in what is a tearful forever...and that says all one needs to know about Hamas for “the smallest coffins are (indeed) the heaviest coffins of all.”
Yarden Bibas, who has now laid his beloved wife and children together in "everlasting rest" understands the truth better than most that evil does indeed walk amongst us. Evil so vile that it sees grown men defiling, mutilating, and pummeling with rocks his precious children's tiny bodies just to help feed into Hama's lie that they had been killed during one of Israel's bombing attacks...evil so vile that the cowards who perpetrated such acts probably also forced Shiri to watch them die before they murdered her as well. And yet this husband and father, even as he grieves this most horrendous of losses, is a man of true courage for like I said at the beginning of this article he wants the world to know that the only way to stop evil is by is by exposing evils ugly truth.
So while Hamas has yet to be eliminated in full, I still do believe that in time they will be for two Saturdays ago, in a quite unexpected move, Israeli opposition leaders “vowed” to give Benjamin Netanyahu both political and public backing in a hoped for move to help him bring home all the remaining hostages held in Gaza...or return their bodies to Israel if that be the case...in but one sum total release. And said opposition did so even though Netanyahu had publicly stated that he will not agree to a complete withdrawal from Gaza until Hamas' military and political capabilities are totally eliminated, for that is the only thing that will ensure that Hamas can no longer regroup and cause harm to Israel and the Jewish people.
The Jewish people must stand united behind Benjamin Netanyahu...a man now forced by circumstances to have to make “Solomon” like decisions while at the same time trying to save the Jewish nation...for many are forgetting that if not for him none of the hostages taken on October 7th would have ever seen home or their loved ones again.
May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob...keep Shiri Bibas and her precious babies safe in His arms, and יהי זכרם של צדיקים לברכה ... “may the memory of the righteous be a blessing” (“yehi zchram shel tzdikim levarka”) to those now left behind. Amen.
