Moving footage from Israel right now - a dignified police convoy is driving the remains of the hostages to the Abu Kabir forensic institute, and at every road junction, notwithstanding the wind and rain today, large lines of people are standing silently holding flags; drivers have stopped their cars to get out and stand with heads bowed.

Thank you for sharing, It's so incredibly sad to see. Praying for healing for their families.

Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas.
Oded Lifschitz.
They will not be forgotten.
A mother trying to protect her children.
A man who was a peace activist.
I hope their families feel the sorrow and support for them from strangers across the world.

From me too

I shed tears for you, for those hurting hugely from this

My apologies for the confusion. I quite understand why you want to be sure to distinguish yourself from the sort of subhuman piece of shit who'd whatabout this.

I really do. Like I said in my first post, I have a boy who I think is a similar age to what the youngest in that poor family would be now. I read the story minutes after I put him to bed and it hit me like a train.

Just awful, beyond words. No words can really capture the horror of it all.

Isn't it a crime against humanity? Shouldn't this go to the International Criminal Court?

Not the dignified return of bodies of peaceful people you would hope for.

With this shower of shit, it's progress they didn't booby trap the coffins.

They put their picture in front of one of Netanyahu as a vampire. Interviewed their kidnappers. Played music and cheered. Deliberately gave the wrong coffin keys to the Red Cross.
I can't get my head around this at all.

I am now aware of why the thread title was changed. My wording was clumsy and not as sensitive as it could have been. My apologies and thanks for amending.

And when the Israelis return the Palestinian prisoners as their end of the deal you don't get thousands of Israelis harassing, humiliating and jeering the returnees even though many of them are terrorists, murderers and torturers.

I know. I just couldn't believe the recent scenes. I'm genuinely disgusted by it.

I guess the interesting things is that if you started a thread about Palestinian civilians being killed, I wouldn't feel the need to post an opposing 'yeah but...'. Quite weird that you can't read about a mother and two children (as well as an 80+ year old peace activist, as an aside) being kidnapped from their homes and killed, without feeling the need to present some kind of counter point...

I wish there was a march through central London protesting about the atrocities committed by Hamas - I'd join in! There won't be.

RominaDina · 20/02/2025 10:08

I've just been watching the news and am utterly horrified. There is no humanity at all. Parading them like this.
How can anyone support this kind of regime or justify these actions?
Horrifying. 💛

The parading is repulsive.

@VolcanoJapan You are absolutely right. No one can legitimately claim that killing little babies, young children barely out of toddlerhood, and innocent mothers just trying to care for their children is "resistance".

And the cruel psychological warfare against the whole nation from keeping their bodies so long is not to be underestimated either. I find it breathtaking, to be honest, that so many people are still vocally standing up for Hamas. Not trying to be political or anything, it's just that the sorrow of this is so bitter and so deep, after hoping against hope that they were against all the odds being held alive for "bargaining chips". I suppose I knew they weren't, but I still hoped.

Oded Lifshitz deserved so much better, too. Clearly a loving and compassionate man who wanted to help his Gazan neighbours, and was not moved by hate and wanted to share Israel's resources. Repaid with nothing but cruelty.

Thank you for adding that the body of Oded was also returned.

"Oded Lifshitz deserved so much better, too. Clearly a loving and compassionate man who wanted to help his Gazan neighbours, and was not moved by hate and wanted to share Israel's resources. Repaid with nothing but cruelty."

Totally agree. Peaceful people that helped others.

Horrific....I wonder what all the sheep who marched each week think of this?

I wouldn’t bother they will just say it’s sad but…..

I agree.

Poor peace loving family.

How anyone can describe what was done on October 7th as 'resistance' is disgusting. This family did nothing wrong. What was done to them and others was not resistance it was pure evil.

May they rest in peace and may Yarden be surrounded by love. Never forgotten.

I pray that Yarden is surrounded by love and kindness for the rest of his days. And that some sort of healing can take place .
