I am thrilled to see every reunion between the hostages and their families. I am also finding myself growing more and more angry all over again that reunions even need to happen. The reason they need to happen is because HAMAS.. and because Oct 7th.

I am growing more angry that there are people justifying Oct 7th for any reason at all.

There are serial killers that were nicer to their victims than HAMAS was on Oct 7th.

What is an innocent Israeli baby worth? 3 Palestinian criminals. Children whose parents were murdered exchanged for criminals who are already praising HAMAS and calling for more bloodshed.

Maayan Zin has been reunited with her two daughters, Dafna, 15, and Ela, 8, Elyakim, after they were held hostage in Gaza for 51 days.

The first photo of them following their release shows the three embracing emotionally.

The sisters’ father, Noam, was murdered on October 7, as they were kidnapped.

Zin campaigned vocally and publicly for their release, even penning an op-ed in the Washington Post saying that she wanted to enter Gaza to be with them.

(@margarita25, see Jake Sullivan's comments this morning about proof of life for US hostages. I'm pretty sure he said the US does not have any...)

Prime Minister of Qatar: More than 40 women and children in captivity in Gaza - apparently not held by Hamas. According to him, they do not have any information regarding "how many they can locate. One of the goals of the ceasefire is to allow this"
@sapirlipkin

How absurd. Not directing this at your @sds71 I know you are just the messenger..

There are so many evil terrorists in Gaza that when HAMAS commits this massacre, the other evil terrorists just jump on in and also abduct people and now HAMAS just can't find them all.

How convenient they need a ceasefire to accomplish that.

If the Palestinians want peace, they need to remove HAMAS and if they can't, they need to support Israel in their mission to remove every last one of them and every person that supports them.

There haven't been near enough aid trucks to supply over 2 million people.
I wonder why Hamas didn't barter for more than the 200/day the IDF agreed to allow through??

So with just these numbers being thrown out alone, (more than) “40” and “maybe around 60” killed in strikes, that’s 100+ hostages right there.

Just delay tactics and more psych torture. As expected.

“National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan tells Meet the Press the Biden administration does not have proof of life for all the U.S. hostages being held by Hamas.”

If so, as awful as it is, then there’s at least the hope/possibility they are alive.

I do have to wonder though if some of these hostages are indeed in fact dead.

Biden speaks to family of 4-year-old US-Israeli freed from Gaza after he rallied for her release

[...]

“The story of Avigail in many ways was a microcosm of the horror Hamas unleashed on October 7,” the administration official says in a statement to reporters, recalling how the young girl saw her mother killed in front of her in Kibbutz Kfar Aza during Hamas’s October 7 massacre and then ran to her father who shielded her with his body, as terrorists then shot him dead. She then ran to her neighbor’s home where she along with those inside were taken hostage into Gaza.

The US believes Idan was held in northern Gaza with those same neighbors, and Biden raised her plight in nearly every phone call he held with Israeli, Qatari, and Egyptian counterparts, the senior administration official says, adding that US officials have remained in touch with Idan’s family throughout the past 51 days of her captivity.

The Biden administration tracked her movement from northern Gaza as she was transferred from Hamas to the Red Cross and then re-routed directly into Israel, instead of Egypt’s Rafah Crossing because one of the other hostages she was with — an 84-year-old woman — needed urgent medical care, the senior official says.

This brings to mind what I was thinking on Friday.

These routes they are passing through with people all around them do not seem safe, imo with people everywhere. I guess they would have done safety checks, maybe dogs and stuff, still idk, seems risky/dangerous, all it takes is one suicide bomber, etc. Obviously safe transfer would be their top priority, so idk... I guess there was no way to completely block off these routes?
