U.N. Condemns Gruesome Palestinian Child Coffin Parade Handing over Dead Hostages

February 21, 2025 — Breitbart.com reports: “The United Nations – whose employees participated in the October 7, 2023, massacre of civilians in Israel – condemned the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas for staging a parade of coffins, including a child and infant, on Thursday prior to handing their bodies over to Israel.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk described the situation as ‘abhorrent,’ according to Reuters, indicating that parading the bodies of dead civilians before a celebratory crowd was a violation of international law.

‘Under international law, any handover of the remains of deceased must comply with the prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, ensuring respect for the dignity of the deceased and their families’, Turk said in a statement…”  (The Islamic State is full of savage barbarians that continue to sink lower and lower into depravity.  Israel has stated that these two precious children were killed with bare hands.  Our Lord showed great compassion towards children: “Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray and the disciples rebuked them.  But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.  And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence” – Matthew 19:13-15.)

Netanyahu pledges Hamas ‘pay full price’ for failing to return Shiri Bibas

February 21, 2025 — YnetNews.com reports: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday condemned Hamas for returning the body of an unidentified woman instead of that of Shiri Bibas, the mother of two young boys whose remains were identified late Thursday night.

Hours after Israeli authorities confirmed the identities of Oded Lifshitz and brothers Ariel and Kfir Bibas, Netanyahu accused Hamas of transferring a Gazan woman’s body instead of Shiri’s. He did not comment on her fate.

Hamas claimed Friday morning that Bibas’ remains appear to have been mixed with other human remains from the rubble after an Israeli air strike hit the place she was held in…”  (Nolan Finley, Editorial Page Editor for The Detroit News tells of watching “Bearing Witness to the October 7^th Massacre” that was shown by the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Israeli Consulate to the Midwest.  The majority of the film was compiled from the cell phones and body cameras of the Hamas terrorists as they carried out this massacre.  He states: What we saw Sunday night was excruciating to watch, harder still to discuss. When it was over most of us walked to our cars barely speaking.

Imagine watching the most gruesome horror flick, without the benefit of knowing the gore on screen is make-believe. In this movie, the blood is real. The bodies are real. The evil is real…

More sickening for me than the gruesome images is the absolute joy with which the killers went about their sadistic work. I expected to see angry, frothing mad men. Instead, these killers are happy. They looked like gleeful young men celebrating a soccer win…

And this, I’m told, is the PG version. It doesn’t depict the mass rapes and mutilation of babies that was reported, but nothing in video suggests such depravity is beyond the pall for the marauders…

I wondered going into the screening what emotions I’d feel coming out. Revulsion? Heartache? Grief?

All of that. But mostly rage, an absolute red-hot anger that there are people in this world capable of such evil and others who would excuse their wickedness.

Hamas official: 6 hostages could be freed this week, depending on ‘price Israel pays’

February 18, 2025 — YnetNews.com reports: “A Hamas official six Israeli hostages would be freed on Saturday. The official told Ynet that the decision depends on what price Israel was willing to pay. ‘Our demand now is that Israel enters phase two negotiations and commits to the humanitarian protocol including caravans and heavy machinery into the Strip.’ According to the official the commitment must come from the Egyptian and Qatari mediators.

But the security cabinet in its meeting late on Monday, decided to concentrate on completing the first phase of the cease-fire and hostage release deal and not to mandate the Israeli delegation to the negotiations to move toward the second phase because there is no agreement among ministers regarding an end to the war.

The delegation was given a ‘general mandate’ to prevent the first phase from being disrupted. Israel is seeking a weeks-long extension of the phase.

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said on Tuesday at a press conference that negotiations on the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza have not yet officially begun. ‘We will implement the terms of the first phase in order to move to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement,’ he said but added that there is a positive atmosphere regarding the second phase of the agreement…”

Hamas’s ‘kinocide’: A new crime against humanity revealed

February 3, 2025 — The Jerusalem Post reports: “The bestial crimes carried out by thousands of Hamas-led terrorists on October 7, 2023, were unspeakable – but the authors of a newly released 79-page report want the world to speak about them and spread the word.

Writing for the Civil Commission on October 7 Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children, they have even given it a name because at no time in history had this exact type of crime been committed. They called it ‘kinocide’ – the targeting of families, calling it a new crime against humanity…

By coining the term kinocide, the report exposes the deliberate, widespread exploitation and destruction of familial bonds to intensify victims’ suffering, highlighting the profound and lasting harm inflicted on individuals, communities, and societies. She noted that the Dvora Institute calls for urgent international recognition of the term as it describes a new, distinct international crime against humanity and presents legal and policy recommendations to close gaps in international criminal law, ensure accountability, and prevent such atrocities in the future…”

Rubio: Hamas ‘must be eradicated’     

February 17, 2025 — Voice of America News reports: “The U.S. fully endorsed Israel’s war aims in Gaza on Sunday, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying that Hamas ‘must be eradicated’ and ‘cannot continue as a military or government force.’

Rubio met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem at the start of a regional tour as the first phase of a tenuous Israel-Hamas ceasefire expires in two weeks, with the second segment yet to be negotiated.

Rubio, on his first trip to the Middle East as the new top U.S. diplomat, told Netanyahu that ‘as long as [Hamas] stands as a force that can govern or as a force that can administer or as a force that can threaten by use of violence, peace becomes impossible.’…”  (Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.  For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.  They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.  Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.  They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.  Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?  But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.  Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.  The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.  Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.  For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.  Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.  And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.  But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. – Psalm 59:1-17;  Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.  The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.  Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.  A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.  The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. – Psalm 37:7-18;  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. – Psalm 2:1-5.  See the next report.)

US: Hamas ‘going to face total annihilation’

February 21, 2025 — YnetNews.com reports: “While the Trump administration did not issue an official statement following the revelation that what was believed to be the body of Shiri Bibas was a Gazan woman, Adam Boehler, President Donald Trump’s envoy for hostage affairs, called Hamas’s actions ‘horrific’ and a ‘clear violation’ of the cease-fire.

‘If I were them, I’d release everybody or they are going to face total annihilation,’ he warned in an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN.

Boehler added that Israel had informed senior U.S. officials in advance that the remains were not those of Shiri and that forensic evidence confirmed her sons, Ariel and Kfir, were brutally murdered in November 2023 in captivity.

‘I don’t know what [Hamas] thought when they put the body of somebody else in a coffin and said that it was the mother of two kids who had been brutally murdered, whether they thought Israel wouldn’t find that out or not, but it’s absolutely stunning,’ he said…”

Netanyahu at officers’ graduation: ‘We will defeat the monster, Hamas will not rule Gaza’

February 24, 2025 — Israel National News reports: “The graduation ceremony for the 71st Combat Officers’ Course was held on Sunday and attended by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Israel Katz…

Netanyahu held up a photo of the Bibas family, who were murdered in captivity in Gaza, and stated: ‘Already during the first days of the war, Hamas murdered Shiri and her children in cold blood. They strangled the gentle children with their hands and if they only could, they would have murdered all of us with the same brutality.’

Netanyahu continued: ‘Against this we fight, and we must and can defeat those monsters – we will defeat them. That is our mission and that is your mission. As the leaders of the homeland, you all have the mission of the bearers of the swords and shields. We have great expectations of you, but I know that above all, you have expectations of yourselves. We are proud of you, we trust you, and we salute you.’

He made clear in his address: ‘Hamas won’t control Gaza, Gaza will be demilitarized, and the military force will be dismantled.’ He added: ‘We demand the demilitarization of southern Syria from the forces of the new regime. We will not tolerate a threat on the Druze community in southern Syria.’…”  (Caroline B. Glick, senior contributing editor to The Jerusalem Post wrote a book in 2014 entitled “The Israeli Solution” where she stated in the preface: “Establishing a Palestinian state, so the thinking goes, would be a panacea for all the region’s ills.  It would end the Arab world’s conflict with Israel, because the reason the Arab world is anti-Israel is that there is no Palestinian state.  It would also nearly erase the Arab world’s anti-Americanism, because the reason the Arabs – and the larger Muslim world – are anti-American is that the United States supports Israel even though there is no Palestinian state…  For the past ninety years, the two-state solution has been tried more than a dozen times, and every time it has failed, abysmally.  Between 1970 and 2013, the United States presented nine different peace plans for Israel and the Palestinians, all based on the two-state solution – and for the past twenty years, the two-state solution has been the centerpiece of the U.S. Middle East policy.  But despite this laser focus, American efforts to implement the two-state solution have all been dismal failures.”)

Netanyahu’s ultimatum to Hamas: IDF will return to fighting

February 12, 2025 — Israel National News reports: “The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday evening officially announced the cessation of negotiations for the second stage of the ceasefire deal with the Hamas terror group.

Under the ceasefire agreement, Hamas will return Israelis kidnapped during the October 7 massacre in exchange for Israel’s release of terrorists, including some who are serving life sentences. Israel has also ceased strikes on Hamas in Gaza, and withdrew from key areas, including the Netzarim Corridor…

Following the Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said, ‘In light of Hamas’ announcement regarding its decision to violate the agreement and not to release our hostages, last night I instructed the IDF to build up forces within and around the Gaza Strip. This action is now being carried out. It will be completed in the very near future.’

‘The decision that I passed unanimously in the Cabinet is this: If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday afternoon, the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will return to powerful fighting until Hamas is completely defeated.’…”  (Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.  They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.  For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.  And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.  Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.  When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.  Let his days be few; and let another take his office.  Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.  Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.  Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.  Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.  Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.  Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.  Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.  Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.  As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.  As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.  Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.  Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.  But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.  For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.  I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.  My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.  I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.  Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:  That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.  Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.  Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.  I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.  For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.  Psalm 109: 1-31.  See the next two reports.)

Israel Katz warns Hamas: If we restart Gaza war, it will be different

February 13, 2025 — The Jerusalem Post reports: “If Hamas does not release the Israeli hostages by Saturday, all hell will break loose, exactly as US President Donald Trump promised, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday.

Katz also threatened Hamas terrorists, stating that ‘if they stop releasing the hostages, then there is no agreement, and there is war.’

‘The new Gaza war will be different in intensity from the one before the ceasefire – and it will not end without Hamas’ defeat and the release of all the hostages,’ Katz said.

‘Every ceasefire agreement with Hamas terrorists was meant to secure the swift release of the Israeli hostages, who are being held under the harshest conditions in Gaza,’ Katz stated.

Israel ‘agreed to pay a heavy price in return,’ he added…”

US approves sale of $7.4 bn in bombs, missiles to Israel

February 12, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “The United States on Friday announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4 billion in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.

The State Department has signed off on the sale of $6.75 billion in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660 million in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

The proposed sale of the bombs ‘improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats,’ DSCA said in a statement.

And the missile sale would ‘improve Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats by improving the ability of the Israeli Air Force to defend Israel’s borders, vital infrastructure, and population centers,’ it said.

Israel launched a hugely destructive offensive against Hamas in Gaza in October 2023 in response to an unprecedented attack by the Palestinian militant group that month…”
