Of course, some reporters, between the lines, believe those dead hostages deserved to die, just like the hundreds of raped and murdered civilians on 10/7/23 in their minds deserved what they got. And the ones who don’t believe that don’t want to be the target of the ones who do (sometimes their own editors).

Exactly. Hamas has shown that they don't honor peace and cease fire deals.

Peace when Hamas is exterminated

According to JPost, which is reporting what's in Arab media, 33 hostages are going to be released in the first phase. The time to release the rest, both dead and alive, still must be negotiated. If memory serves, an article this morning said 98, but I don't know if that was dead or alive, or both.

Something about the fact that we're referring to an unknown number of dead people as hostages just irks me about this deal and boasting about what a victory it is.

Erick knows best but Biden will take all the credit. It mirrors Carter/Reagan

They(Hamas) only have done this because Trump is coming…The new Cop in town

I pray all Hostages are released

Let Biden boast..he is riding into the sunset trying to leave some legacy?

It will all sift out that because Donald Trump is our incoming President and

you will see world leaders wake up from their nap and know no more cookies!

God be glorified in this age. Bring revival to us!

I just read where 66 will be released.

Back up your penultimate sentence with facts rather than whimsy. Might even want to say something positive..

If I were in charge, all of the protesters rallying for Hamas would have a one way ticket to Gaza

This is the time for isreal to totally destroy their enemies. They might not get another chance.

Years ago a Muslim group in Lebanon was kidnapping diplomatic personnel. I read that the Russians found out who was in charge and sent people there to give him a gift. The genitals of a male relative. The hostages were released.

The vicious nature of that Hamas attack helps me overlook the fact that God's chosen people were attending a pagan "rave" on the sabbath.

At multiple points in Scripture, the Lord tells His people (and those goyim who are willing to listen and learn) about the punishments for disobeying His basic commandments about keeping the sabbath holy, and not having any other gods before Him.

Perhaps Hamas is the 21st century rendition of the Babylonians.
