Israel is mourning today after Hamas returned the bodies of four hostages taken during the October 7th massacre. The heartbreaking handover included a mother and her two young children—9-month-old Kfir Bibas and 4-year-old Ariel Bibas—along with 83-year-old peace activist Oded Lifshitz. Families across Israel lined roadsides waving flags as Red Cross vehicles carried the coffins back from Gaza, a grim reminder of Hamas’ cruelty.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Hamas “monsters” and vowed such horrors would never happen again. His words echoed the pain of a nation still scarred by Hamas’ brutal attacks. Many Israelis question whether their government did enough to protect citizens last October—and whether current ceasefire deals will truly bring safety or just more delays.
The Bibas family’s story has become a symbol of Israeli resilience. For over a year, supporters wore orange to honor Kfir’s red hair and sang songs pleading for their return. Now, their deaths expose Hamas’ lies—the terror group falsely claimed they were killed by Israeli airstrikes while hiding behind civilians in Gaza.
President Donald Trump backed Netanyahu’s tough stance, demanding all remaining hostages be freed by Saturday or “all hell” would break loose in Gaza. Conservatives praise Trump’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorists. Critics argue Biden-era weakness allowed Hamas to regroup before this war began under Trump’s watch.
Hamas broke ceasefire terms by delaying hostage releases and blocking aid meant for Palestinians—proving they care more about power than their people. While Israel works to feed Gaza civilians, Hamas steals supplies and uses kids as human shields. This is why conservatives say destroying Hamas completely is the only path to peace.
Netanyahu faces pressure from his own coalition to reject weak deals. The Religious Zionism party threatened to quit if phase two of the ceasefire moves forward without crushing Hamas first. True leaders know you can’t negotiate with terrorists—you defeat them.
International groups like the UN shamefully scold Israel while ignoring Hamas’ crimes. They lecture about “human rights” but stay silent when Jewish babies are kidnapped and murdered. This double standard fuels anti-Israel hatred worldwide—and it must end.
As funerals begin, Israelis stand united against evil. The world must choose: side with civilized nations fighting terror or cave to bullies like Hamas. America’s strong alliance with Israel under Trump shows real leadership—not empty talk. Let this tragedy renew our resolve: Never Again means Never Again.**
