Yes.

The poster was refreshingly honest. Don't
Try and make it out to be something sinister.
At least she expressed her (entitled) opinion in a direct manner.
A tribe of posters hide their real thoughts
behind faux outrage.
Their real intentions shine through.

I don't know what certain posters think they will gain by coming on these threads and demeaning other posters and their opinions.

What exactly do you wish to gain? You have made your views clear numerous times and yet you come back with the same thing on a thread about a child who may well be dead.

Can't you just allow people to grieve?

In this one I do agree with you. On another thread, a child was shot dead in the WB in cold blood and it was immediately how they deserved it bc they were raised in hate /suspected of something.

Both sides need to stop. I've probably been guilty of this at some point too but it needs to stop, and both sides need to grieve for humanity and needless, innocent lives lost.

@Chaitales I appreciate that and I am sorry if that was the case. It's not on.

I don't think it's been confirmed yet has it? It's still just speculation

Show quote history

It was an announcement from Hamas at about 4am so can neither be confirmed nor refuted

Israel refused this list as it didn't fit with the categories by which hostages are released

As far as I understand it deceased hostages are returned last in favour of living hostages

I posted about it about 6 hours ago

But of course I care more about the Israeli/Jewish babies. Because I am a Jew. My children are half-Israeli.

In this bizarre system of enforced equality, we're expected to care exactly the same about everyone and everything. Well, not me. It might make me unpopular, or "sick" or "twisted", or whatever else you might like to call me. Fine. Because of course I care that Palestinian children have died. Of course I do. But I care a damn sight more about Kfir Bibas. Because as a Jewish mother, he is my child along with Shiri Bibas' child. We are a family. And I suspect that might be part of why we are so despised.

I don't despise you but I find it incredibly sad that you care more about Jewish babies than Palestinian babies. As for 'enforced equality', I think most of us believe that all humans are equal. I am not being forced to believe that, it's just what I innately believe to be true.

@Efacsen if they were my family I would want them Back. Categories or not.

And if it was your relative that 'got left behind' in favour of people who could no longer benefit from being free? What then?

Stomacharmeleon · 30/11/2023 15:14

@Efacsen I know. Difficult decisions. I just wouldn't want him left there. I know there is nothing concrete yet on who the bodies are but...

There are some that just sit in your head don't they? Kfir looks like my son. I desperately hope Hersh is still alive.

It's a no win. I don't know. I hope they all come home.

ThisIsntThe80sPat · 01/12/2023 08:20

Hamas released a video of their father asking his wife and two boys' bodies be brought back to Israel for burial 😓

Stomacharmeleon · 01/12/2023 10:06

More mind games. That poor man.

Echobelly · 01/12/2023 22:17

I fear this is true - Hamas has had to say it to explain why he was not released with other child hostages. I'm not sure if all the other child hostages are now out, but at least a significant proportion.

He looks a bit like my baby son too. ❤

It's a hopeless, tragic no win

No, instead, it was pre-empting the direction this thread would take.
As you have demonstrated.

Show quote history

You started a thread and 4 minutes later you derail it yourself and then complain not only about your thread being derailed, but are now alleging that you were forced to pre-emptively derail it by posters who first came to your thread hours and hours after you’d started it and derailed it.

Whoever your psychic is, I’d like to know.

stomachameleon · 03/12/2023 15:23

@Depdawg is there any more information on kfir? And his brother and mum? It seemed to go quiet after the footage Hamas released of his dad.

Unfortunately not, Stoma. Poor husband and father, left in limbo.
