Israeli Army Abducts Nine Palestinians Near Ramallah

Hostages were abducted on the 10/7. However, Israel has abducted and killed Palestinians daily before and since 10/7 and we don’t hear the media wail on their behalf. If West Bank protested like Israel they knew they’d be shot by a greater military force.

Unlike Israeli hostages, like Noa who feared Israel more than her captors, those taken by Israel, we never hear are conflicted. They fear, and rightly so Israel.

On November 23 during the hostage exchange, we witnessed the expressions on the faces of those released by both sides. The smileless, and pained expressions on the faces of the Palestinians against the cheerful exchanges between the Israelis and their captors. Netanyahu and Israel were so shamed that was the last of further exchanges. Since then we’ve witnessed the Hannibal Directive in play along with Israelis freed but being silenced because if they had anything to say that was contradictory to the Israeli Government propaganda output

Palestinian prisoners starved, abused and mistreated – Pearls and Irritations

Flags of Israel and Palestine behind the barbed wire.

Since October 7th last year more than 9,500 Palestinians including 635 minors from the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem have been held in Israeli jails. More than 3,400 Palestinian detainees, including women and children, have also been placed in administrative detention under the pretext of secret evidence. All prisoners and detainees have been subjected to systematic physical and psychological torture, deprivation of basic needs of human life and minimum levels of treatment.

Barghouti was one of the authors of the 2006 Palestinian Prisoners’ Document. The document called for the establishment of two states with resistance to Israeli occupation limited to military targets within the territory seized by Israel in the 1967 war. It was significant in that it recognised Israel and had broad political support among the various Palestinian factions. Should the time come and he were released Marwan Barghouti could well be the Palestinian leader needed to be a partner for a much needed peace in Palestine and Israel.

PM says Israel won’t ‘pay any price’ to free hostages

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the country will not pay any price for the return of hostages being held by militants.

The ultra-right government’s priority was never the release of hostages. Since 1929 the Zionists have used the same strategy to gain increasingly more land than they ever returned. They created a conflict where there was peace. Back then they did it by spreading rumours that the Jews were planning to seize control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Manufacturing hate ensured peace turned into the conflict Zionists wanted. They could then form the Haganagh terrorists calling them defence militias to protect all Jews. Nobody ever said they were dumb but rather disingenuous. They certainly weren’t operating in the interests of all Jews and never have.

The UN, who they now openly call Hamas lovers, solved Britain’s Jewish Problem by ratifying and giving them Israel. The Americans provided welfare in exchange for a ready-made army base in the Middle East the IDF.

In 1969 Israel attacked Egypt and Syria on what PM Ehud Barak openly admitted was a totally presumptive ploy that had no concrete merit. Again it was for more ground which they simply refused to return but illegally settled. In 1978 they returned the Sinai, as a token of peace, to Egypt.

These incursions were continuously called “defence of all Jews” but were rather a strategy to steal land, and water and encourage the diaspora back to Israel. However, that hasn’t happened. While they successfully created “hate” the Jews remained a minority in the region but wanted total control. Leaving the Palestinians with the options of facing Death, Ethnic Cleansing or Apartheid in a Fascist State. They claim 50% of Jews are now Israeli which isn’t true. 1M Israelis at any one time have left without any rushing back. 500k have permanent residency elsewhere and in the meantime, the others are trying to get it.

 Currently, Israel is America’s primary base in the Middle East but what was once a quid pro quo arrangement Israeli Zionist greed has now become the tail trying to wag the dog. For their effort the Zionists have tried to gain Land, Gazan Gas and a 3rd Nakbah and a shitload load of  deserved hate.

Asked about the 134 hostages who remain in Gaza, Smotrich told Kan Radio that their return was “very important” but that they could not be released “at any cost”.

If You Care About the Hostages, Demand a Cease-Fire

 

Cynical politicians like John Fetterman and Benjamin Netanyahu are trying to pit calls for a cease-fire in Gaza against efforts to bring Israeli hostages home. The reality is a cease-fire is the only way to do just that.

Joe Biden Isn’t Rescuing Hostages — He’s Enabling War Crimes

He sent hundreds of 2000lb bombs that have a kill radius of 360 meters and a diameter of 720 meters Gaza is only 5000 meters wide. They aren’t called “bunker killers” for nothing they are deep penetration devices. Israelis have dropped over 30,000 bombs on a postage stamp they called a “concentration camp”

Earlier this month, Joe Biden expressed his concern for the Israelis taken hostage in Gaza. But if he really cared about their safety, he wouldn’t be sending Israel weapons for its indiscriminate and criminal bombing campaign.

For Netanyahu’s Government, Israeli Hostages Are Just a Propaganda Tool

Israel claims its brutal assault on Gaza is justified by the Israeli hostages being held by Hamas. But the Israeli government’s actions suggest that it cares little about the hostages’ well-being — and more about using them as anti-Palestinian propaganda.

Thousands of Palestinian day laborers from Gaza are stranded in Israel amid the explosion in violence. Israel has revoked their work permits, and their families fear they may be imprisoned — or worse.
