I really hope the inevitable Hamas apologists protesting tomorrow have fake blood thrown over them.

And some people will cling to the lie because it's too uncomfortable to admit that they are on the side of the villains in all this

It's started already on social media. There's always a pause of a few hours, maybe a day or so, after Hamas does something particularly awful, and you dare to hope that people are finally waking up. But then the usual accounts start spewing a new party line of lies and fact twisting, and that gets amplified, and suddenly the same lines get regurgitated by posters on here. It's the same cycle every time.

This. I sincerely hope they were killed in a strike, quickly and very soon after their kidnapping.

Unfortunately it is confirmed that they were not.

I also wonder how they were treated in the weeks between their kidnapping and their murders.

Hamas really knew their value as the most symbolic hostages. They really needed a way to claim that Israel's bombing had killed the most vulnerable hostages. The whole locked, keyless coffin scenario and 'Ooh, they died in an airstrike and we got the bodies mixed up' charade was just an attempt to further the pretence. And some people will cling to the lie because it's too uncomfortable to admit that they are on the side of the villains in all this,

These are the people who raise their own children to be 'martyrs.' These are the 'fighters' who hide in tunnels while ordering their own citizens not to respond to IDF warnings because they want civilians to die for propaganda purposes.

They also took the vast majority of the aid sent in hoping that there would be a famine and more of their own would die and they could get some good photos of starving kids for their online propaganda. They are evil people who can't see beyond their own hate, not noble freedom fighters as some would have us think

"I pray Shiri was either already dead or wasn't there to see this if it's correct.

I hope that what Hamas are saying is true, and the three of them died in an airstrike. Hopefully it was instant and they were in each other's arms and that due to the inability to identify Shiri's body they put the wrong body in the coffin. This is the best outcome in this utter nightmare.

I actually couldn't believe what I was seeing on tv yesterday. Absolute animals the lot of them."

Unfortunately not, the forensics say they were strangled first then their bodies mutilated to look as if they had died in an Israeli air strike.

To those still saying "poor Palestinians under Hamas", crowds of Palestinian children and adults took to the streets celebrating the dead babies.

Forensic evidence states the babies were strangled to death. Is it even possible a human being could strangle two babies. They can't be human.

There's reports from Al-Jazeera now that Hamas have handed over Shiri...praying it's true.

Al Jazeera aren't to be trusted when it comes to this conflict. Some of their reporters are literally hamas members

Clearly hamas are so blinded by their hatred and so bolstered by the useful idiot supporters around the world that they didn't think anyone would have an issue with this. They are running damage control now. I hate to say it but their propaganda and misinformation campaign has been extremely successful 😞 I've never seen anything like it. They are terrorists who torture, rape and murder Jews, women, gay and trans people and we have absolute morons flying their flag on the streets of Europe and the US

The only comfort is in making sure their story is told and in honouring their families request that there is no vengeance. I trust they will have known Shiri would not have wanted vengeance. But she would surely have wanted truth.
God bless them
Eternal rest grant unto them and May perpetual light shine upon them.

Real people are trying to carry on with the knowledge of what happened to their families and the only consolation they have is that no-one can hurt them any more.
Bring them all home now. Living and fallen.🎗️🇮🇱

I pray Shiri was either already dead or wasn't there to see this if it's correct.

But at the same time she would want to be there to comfort her babies when those fuckers were killing them. Oh God it’s just so awful. Crying again.

I hope that what Hamas are saying is true, and the three of them died in an airstrike. Hopefully it was instant and they were in each other's arms and that due to the inability to identify Shiri's body they put the wrong body in the coffin.

The little children were beaten and strangled to death, by people worse than animals. There is forensic evidence to back this up.

It was not instant.

It would have been horror incarnate.

I'm sorry, but the wishful thinking has to stop. If this had been my babies, I would want the world to know the truth and feel the same rage I did.

I absolutely hate to say this but I really hope she is not alive. This is the only humane thing. Being an uninvolved bystander I am barely coping with all this news of the last few days. I cannot on any level imagine her level of suffering if she is still alive.

Edited

I agree. I would definitely want to be dead if my babies had been slaughtered in this way. Bless her 💔

They don’t even bother doing a quick google search either. I mean if you were waving that placard the first thing you’d do is look up what it meant. Idiots. But fucking dangerous idiots at that.

Our government is full of them too.

How on earth can anyone go on those weekly Saturday marches for Hamas?

...and chant those offensive slogans...

Compassion shouldn't just be limited to one race or religion! 💯

being Jewish today for me felt like a chaotic mix of never having felt closer to all my Jewish brothers and sisters, knowing they were all grieving too, and also painfully lonely, seeing so shamefully few people (outside the advocates who’ve been consistently standing up since oct 7th) condemn todays atrocities and stand with us.

I just still want to amplify the voices of those that did speak out.

Thank you for sharing these tweets. Very moving. Hamas are failing the people of Gaza at every turn.

This and the trans issue have made me feel politically homeless as a lefty liberal type. I've never been a fan of winged politics, but I know I'm not right wing despite what the left would now tell me.

It's awful, isn't it? I can't say anything at work anymore, or to neighbours.

BaMamma · 21/02/2025 17:17

RominaDina · 21/02/2025 11:06

I feel the same. I'm just an old lefty, a Labour supporter whose been on umpteen protest and peace marches over the years, but this is something else. Now I've fallen out with friends over the issue, like you say.
