It took me time to collect my emotions and respond.

Only the mothers of Israel and the mothers of Palestine will resolve this madness.

I pray channels are opened that bring the messages of the women together to end the hostage situation humanely.

Yaser Arafat (PLO) perfected “War as a business plan”. I have absolutely no doubt that the donations to Hamas will come rolling in from the domestic and international left. I’m also certain the hostages will be used as income generation tools over the coming months.

The people who keep telling us that they hate war certainly seem to be the biggest supporters of war anywhere.

There's no moral equivalencies to be made here. There's no justification for this barbarism. Best of luck in freeing the hostages and reuniting these innocent people with their families and best of luck to the decimation of Hamas and finally freeing the Palestinians from this bigoted, oppressive regime that betrays and terrorizes the Palestinian people.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I can't even wrap my head around this. This cannot stand. Unfortunately I feel that our current administration is so week that it probably will.

Israeli citizens... demand that your government protects your natural human right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. Anything less is unacceptable.

Overall, I think that the effect is to exacerbate rather than help. The "Palestinians" like to hear the lamentations of the women. We see the celebrations m.

"Palestine" is an invention dating to a meeting in Algeirs in 1988. The supposed historical roots are drivel. Judaism dates to at least the 18th century BCE there.

The Greeks called a place in the area Philistia, place of the Philistines. That archeology dates to the 12th century BCE. But DNA has shown the Philistines came from Europe. They're related to Greeks and people of Crete. They were not Semitic people.

The people claiming that identity today are Semitic. They have no claim from then. It's made up history.

Two more days until we start reading the "d" word (disproportionate) in the mainstream media. When we do, please remember this.

Thank you Bari for giving up your career at the Jew-hating New York Times to speak the truth with eloquence and courage. Are there any more at that worthless rag who value truth over careers?

Seize some kids of the Iranian elite and use them as counter hostages.

The heart aches over these stories of brutality and inhumanity, but these stories must be told for a complete understanding of the nature of radical Islam and Iranian sponsored terrorism.

Change that to simply orthodox Islam and you will have it right. The three books, Quran, Ha'dith, and Sira, are very clear. What was done is what their prophet wanted. From the slaughter to the rapes, all of it was what their prophet said to do. And it was, in his time, against the mores of his period.

And Islam encourages lying to unbelievers to cover it's true nature.

Taqqiya. It's more than encouraged. It is directed.

Ben Shapiro and many other Jewish voices are preemptively justifying war crimes in Gaza. Will TheFP fall in line? Probably. But we'll see. FP is already smelling like propaganda to me. Long time supporter, and I hope you keep to your stated mission.

What are the war crimes? Attacking concert goers...like what terrorists did in France (killed 130 and wounded 400) and now in Israel. This is not now or has been exclusively about Jews. This has been about attacking and killing innocent civilians to proclaim a political belief that demands complete adherence which is why school girls are poisoned, homosexuals are thrown from buildings, and other brutal and bestial acts .

Hamas has a history of having military HQ in a hospitals, schools, or other places that use civiliians as a shield. It is a strategy that risk the lives of the innocent while protecting the operatives. It is heart breaking to watch leaders who are more concerned about wiping away a country than considering their own people. Leveraging innocent hostages (old women and infants) and threatening to video tape their deaths to protect their troops lodged in civilian areas...that doesn't strike you as inhumane?

Yes, to FP sticking to their mission statement as they are now.

Right, because opinions that you disagree with are propaganda. Hmmmmm.
