  • According to Hama's they are holding 100- 150 hostages to force the cease fire on Gaza, for which 10,022 people have been killed Gaza, including over 4,100 children, and for which 2,300 people are missing or buried under rubble.

      Thanks for sharing! According to Hamas, they also deny the killing of innocent civilians on October 7, 2023: https://youtu.be/DfoR6mpRQOU?si=4botQjop9dphLKUL

      Palestinian territory – encompassing the Gaza Strip and West Bank, including East Jerusalem – has been illegally occupied by Israel since 1967.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Nope, that's not what the Bible says. The Bible teaches that God gave the Jews the land of Israel. In Genesis 12:2-3, God promised, "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on Earth will be blessed through you." Nothing can change this fact. Israel is entitled to the land it has by making their Independence in 1948, and defending their Independence in 1967. An Israeli ground invason in Gaza City will happen at any time now. Israel will have full control of Gaza, while very soon, Israel will take the West Bank, and no country will do anything about it, since the scriptures also teach, Israel will never be uprooted again. Amos 9:15 "I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them, says the LORD your God." If you don't believe it to be true, then you are not the Christian I thought you were.

      1) Gaza is not there land, it was given to the Palestinians, where 2 million Palestinians have lived in an open air prison denied basic human rights over a 16 year period. If you want to bring the Torah into it, it states the land is not the Jews until the coming of their Messiah, any Orthodox Jew will tell you that, but Israel was never a religious state, it is secular. Any Jews in Israel that follow the Torah, certainly do not believe that Jesus is their Messiah, to quote the bible anyone who does not believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, does not know the Father. Funnily enough Muslims do believe Jesus is the Messiah but not the son of God. In fact out of all the religions practicing Jews will tell you that Islam has far more in common with Judaism than Christianity, some Jews refer to Mary as a whore and Jesus as a con man who stole the name of God and used it to perform miracles. Either way any Rabbi will tell you that according to the Torah Jesus does not fulfill scripture and as such they are still awaiting the Messiah.

      The one difference between Jews and Christians is "Jesus." Funny old world this is, quote how many Palestinians have been killed including children and no one gives a damn because it's not in the bible, God help us.

      Quote: "1) Gaza is not there land, it was given to the Palestinians," You are in position to be putting numbers, simply because you have exposed yourself as a wannabe Christian. Gaza is a wasteland. Collapsed buildings, mangled infrastructure and streets have been turned into fields of rubble. Israel will take full control of Gaza (due to), the Bible predicts Gaza will become a land for shepherds. (Zephaniah 2:6-7) Read the scriptures. Zephaniah 2:6-7 "The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks. 7 That land will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah;"

      Quote: "If you want to bring the Torah into it, it states the land is not the Jews until the coming of their Messiah," Is this the best you've got??? Your argument is weak. It doesn't matter what Judaism teaches in their supposedly return of their messiah. Christians know the Messiah who is Jesus returned 2000 years ago. Matthew 16:15-16 "But what about you? He asked. Who do you say I am? 16 Simon Peter answered, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." *Facepalm*

      Keep them coming. I have numerous facepalms to give.

      1) I usually put numbers when dealing with multiple points, that makes it easier to read and refer to. 2,) Between 1994 and 1999, Israel transferred security and civilian responsibility for much of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to the Palestinian Authority. .3) Israel has been breaching the human rights of Palestinians in the Gaza strip for years, refusing things like water, and food, and not being allowed to leave and return unless it is the death of a relative. 3) You state that I'm not a Christian, and I don't know the bible because "I've pointed out that the main requirement in Christianity is to believe in Christ." Something Jews do not believe, in fact many Jews in Israel are European Jews and secular, they maintain the tradition but not the belief. The Bible clearly teaches that the moment a person turns from his sin and trusts in Jesus to be forgiven of his sin, he is saved (Acts 2:37-41). He has passed from spiritual death to spiritual life (John 5:24) and has been declared not guilty in God's court of law (Rom 3:21-26). And that anyone who does not accept Christ is the spirit of the antichrist 1 John 4.3. I do not see the situation in Gaza as one civilian more deserving of death than the other, I can read what has been going on building up to this situation now, there can be no peace until the two parties start thinking about the other that is involved, until that time, lives will be taken, including babies and children, and some people will sadly only see numbers instead of flesh and blood. It's devastating when screwed ideology replaces love. God shows who he is in the seven spirits before the throne, Jesus showed it by embracing the poor, the down trodden and the sinner who knew he was no better than anyone else, it was always the one who thought they were better that he had problems with, I see people, putting sheets around their dead mothers, father's, children, and babies, just as Jesus saw the good in a Samaritan, it has nothing to do with an ingroup or pride, and everything to do with humility. Proverbs 21 "God ponders the heart."

      None of what you say discredits my claims. You have no points to add, since everything you say, I am already a step ahead. It was a mistake for Israel to allow the Palestinian authorities to govern the Palestinian people in which, it is evident, they support terrorism. Israel has seeked to destroy Hamas, raising the question of who would run the Palestinian territory after the war. It will certainly not be Hamas or Palestinian authorities. And this is because there will be no repeat of October 7, 2023. *Double Facepalm*
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Quote: "3) Israel has been breaching the human rights of Palestinians in the Gaza strip for years," When a people are conquered, they are denied of human rights. Israel was declared a state in 1948. Then it was a mistake for the Arab countries to attack Israel in 1967. This made Israel more determined to expand the country. Even until now, the land is referred to as Palestine by those who oppose Israel's right to exist. It has been 75 years, and Israel as the Bible predicts will never be lifted again. Go back and read Amos 9:15. This is based in God's Word, and not my opinion or your opinion.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Acts 2:37-41 and John 5:24 do not validate your claims. It is he or she who believes in Jesus as the scriptures has said who is saved. John 7:38 "Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." Romans 3:21-26 is irrelevant. The law of the prophets and the Law of God has nothing to do with the Israel-Hamas war.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Quote: "I do not see the situation in Gaza as one civilian more deserving of death than the other," Once again, read the scriptures. Zephaniah chapter 2 proclaims that God is against Gaza and its inhabitants. The Bible describes Gaza as a shameless nation. Zephaniah 2:1-2 "Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation, 2 before the decree takes effect--before the day passes away like chaff--before there comes upon you the burning anger of the LORD, before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the LORD." It is not me who is against the Palestinian people. You sound like a Palestinian from the UK. I couldn't care one bit if you are. I can only call it according to the Bible.
    • Creamcrackered
      I've said all I have to say, calling me Palestian, or not Christian makes no difference to me or as to what has happened. I'm not one for going back and forth, when I've made my point.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      You can call yourself whatever you want. Your argument is of a Palestinian outcry, so Yes, you've made your point. To be fair, whether you support Palestinians or not, it makes no difference to me, cause what is written in the scriptures is clearly God's Word.
    • Creamcrackered
      I get it, you are relishing in the genocide of another group of people Jenny, because in your interpretation of the bible it means you go to heaven, Yay! For the dead Palestinians! Starve and kill them all! No human rights for them because,...because I say the bible says so!! I recall two other infamous people in history who had the same reaction to demise of another race. Jenny: "Sorry Jesus, no forgiveness for those Palestinians, they are the wrong kind of sinner." Jesus: "Ok Jenny, I was crucified on the cross, and rose again overcoming death, but you're the boss."
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Quote: "you are relishing in the genocide of another group of people Jenny," Get your head out of your rear end. Any rational thinker knows that if the Palestinians were in full control of Israel as they once were in 1947, it wouldn't be pleasant for the Jews. The best thing for Palestinians is to move on to another country. Being at war with Israel with a terrorist group who leads them is not the answer. This is why Gaza has become a wasteland. There is no future for Palestinians in Israel. Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and especially Jordan can accept more Palestinians. There are 2 million registered Palestinians living in Jordan. At least there will be a future for Palestinians and their children in those Arab countries. Oh, I believe there are some Christian Palestinians in Gaza. By Zephaniah 2:3, God will protect those humble Palestinians who do His commands.
    • Creamcrackered
      Lol! Israel has breached Palestinian Territory what part are you not getting, it isn't Israels human rights being breached. . Palestinians and Jews alike will tell you that they lived side by side, even babysitting each others children prior to 1947, have you listened to any of the Jews or Palestinians on this matter? Palestinians are not all Hama's, you appear to be confusing the two. Sounds like you are for killing the 2 million Palestinians, or evicting them that have made Gaza their home. But history tells us that this will not get rid of Hama's, do you even know how these groups came about in the first place, and who armed them, and why? There's more than just Hama's, there's always another to take its place.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      You are embarrassing yourself with this Palestinian outcry. I will further embarrass you by answering my question so it can be displayed on the Answerbag homepage. Other AB'ers will see how silly you sound. Quote: "Israel has breached Palestinian Territory what part are you not getting," And what part are you not getting, Israel has conquered the Palestinian people or should the Palestinians continue to wage war with Israel?????????????? *Triple Facepalm*
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Palestinians have destroyed Jewish synagogues, artifacts, tombstones and other Jewish monuments, while the Jews rights were being violated before Israel made their Independence in 1948. This has also been going on in history for thousands of years when the Philistines would wage war on Israel. In modern times, I didn't say all Palestinians are Hamas terrorists, but that the Palestinian people made a mistake for allowing Hamas to rule over them.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Quote: "Sounds like you are for killing the 2 million Palestinians," You really can't read well. The best solution for the Palestinian people is to accept defeat to the Israelis for the sake of peace. Get that through your head once you pull it out of your rear end.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      Naftali Bennett, a former Prime Minister of Israel stated that Israel will not give an inch of land to the Palestinians. If more than anything like I've been letting you know, Israel will continue to expand the country, and once again, no country, specifically the Arab countries will do anything about it. If they try, Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear, Israel will hit them with a force the world has never seen.

      "Face, palm, knees and toes, knees and toes, face, palm, knees and toes, knees and toes, and eyes and ears and mouth and nose, face, palm knees and toes, knees and toes." Just meeting your level of maturity, for anyone that thinks if you disagree with how the Palestinians have been treated in Gaza, then they must be Palestinian. For someone who does not know the difference between Biblical Prophecy and your bog standard every day understanding of prophecy, see Jeremiah, and has zero understanding as to what has led to the conflict in Gaza. Also, has no idea about the relationship between Palestinians and Jews pre 1947, and clearly thinks all Palestinians are Muslim, when in fact some are Jewish and Christian, and somehow thinks using the term "face palm," makes there response more meaningful, when it doesn't, and really just comes across as obnoxious and rather childish.
    • Jenny The Great ⭐
      A facepalm by definition is to point out your errors, which are embarrassing. This discussion is not going your way. So stop whining and go cry somewhere else. Look up the word "rational" and then see what is best for the Palestinian people. It is certainly not war, but to turn the other cheek and move on.
    • Creamcrackered
      "Face, palm, knees and toes, knees and toes. Face, palm, knees and toes, knees and toes, and eyes and ears and mouth and nose, face, palm knees and toes, knees and toes." Yes I looked up the definition of rational and it definitely didn't say Jenny or "Face, Palm,"

      @Linus, thanks for sharing the YouTube link. Mosab Hassan Yousef has exposed the Hamas terrorists in saying in a quote: "Hamas is a violent movement. They can only express their frustration through terrorism and violence,"
  • Presumably: they believe that it is not in their political best self-interest to do so. And...they are probably right. Probably the end result of this will be that their political power is even more firmly entrenched in Gaza and donations from external sources will skyrocket. Unless Israel stamps out Hamas completely - and what are the chances of that happening? - or establishes martial law in Gaza - likely to be an extremely unpopular move among Israelis - the leaders of Hamas will end up wealthier and more firmly in charge than ever before.

  • No one outside of Hamas is certain on how many hostages are still alive. The Hamas movement has threatened to kill a hostage every time Israel bombs a Palestinian building, as Israel mobilized some 300,000 reservists and imposed a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, denying the enclave’s millions of residents access to food, water and fuel. For every building in Gaza that has been bombed, most of the 200+ hostages could be dead.

      10/1/2023 news update: the Israel-Hamas truce began on November 24 and was renewed twice before ending on Friday. Hostages who have been freed during the ceasefire: 110
  • According to the Israeli government, 242 people had been taken hostage during the Hamas incursions.
  • Because Hamas, and Hezbollah and the other radical Islamist groups of the region are really not interested in peace at all. 11/11/23
  • It's their only bargaining tool.
  • It's their only bargaining chip.
