Hamas Made Slain Hostages Record Videos Before Their Deaths

The barbarians known as Hamas are not only killing hostages, but they are now taunting the families of those hostages by releasing videos of the slain taken prior to their deaths. The terror organization is also promising more to come.

Israel recently went into Rafah and recovered the bodies of several hostages. If you'll recall, the Democrats were furious that Israel was planning to launch strikes into the region. As it turns out, Israel was right to focus on the area and the Democrats were wrong to push the Biden administration to withhold armaments. 

Biden's response to the situation has been nothing short of incompetent, demanding that Benjamin Netanyahu do more to get to an agreement with Hamas.

But demanding Israel cut a deal with Hamas only rewards Hamas for its behavior, as Netanyahu rightly noted. The terror group, which is also the ruling body of Gaza, will do more horrifying things like this.

Hamas on Monday taunted kin of the six hostages found slain in Gaza by releasing haunting pre-recorded footage of the victims — and warning the gut-wrenching clips were only a teaser to their “last messages.”

One of the gaunt and exhausted-looking hostages, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, said in the eerie propaganda video that she feared she’d never escape alive. 

“Bombing here never stops, and we are afraid for our lives. We are scared of dying here,’’ Yerushalmi said, according to the Jerusalem Post.  

She and the other five hostages —  US-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lobanov, 32, Carmel Gat, 40, and Almog Sarusi, 27 — were found dead in a tunnel in Rafah on Saturday.

There should really be no quarter for the terror group, which began this conflict when it invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, and killed well over a thousand Israelis in one of the worst terror acts in recent years and the worst mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. 

The Biden administration's lack of action in supporting Israel is shameful, considering America's longstanding relationship with the Jewish state. The U.S. has historically been supportive of Israel, which is surrounded on all sides by enemies. Hamas, using Iranian money and training, is only one of several groups that have vowed to eliminate Israel. 

One of the most powerful and influential of those opposing Israel? The aforementioned Iran, which is funding several terror groups for this purpose. It is also doing so using money it wouldn't have if the Biden administration had not lifted sanctions on the rogue state, allowing it to make billions of dollars in oil sales and other transactions.

But the Biden team is made up, apparently, of people who do not believe Israel should exist, and they definitely believe it really has created an apartheid state, despite words still meaning things and such a thing not actually being the case in Gaza. However, a very vocal portion of the Democratic base is clamoring for the Biden administration to back off supporting Israel, and the administration has made the political calculation to do so.
