It's almost a year now as Israel has been devastated and emotionally exhausted over the Israel-Hamas war. But on Tuesday, it was even worse after IDF Spokesman R-Adm. Daniel Hagari showed chilling images of the Gaza tunnel where Hamas executed six hostages last month.
The three-minute video clip showed Hagari descending from a children’s room with brightly colored walls and paintings of Snow White and Mickey Mouse in the Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah, 20 meters into the hell where Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alex Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Ori Danino were held and murdered--shot multiple times in the head.
It is believed that the men hostages attempted a last-ditch effort to protect the female hostages, but they were killed along with the women.
“Here is the place in the tunnel where the hostages were murdered,” Hagari said in his unemotional monotone. “Here you see their blood on the floor. Here were the last moments of Hersh, Eden, Carmel, Ori, Almog, and Alex. Here they were brutally murdered. We will learn what happened here. We need to learn very well what happened here.
“It is very hard to survive here,” Hagari continued. “They were heroes, heroes who were killed in cold blood by murderous terrorists who build tunnels under the rooms of children and hide in them with hostages.”
Islamic jihad is a sick, evil, bloodthirsty act that is supposed to be holy.
Hagari revealed the terrible conditions in which the hostages were kept – a low ceiling that didn't allow them to stand upright, a cesspool, bottles of urine, and no ventilation. He mentioned how extremely humid it was. He found a broken hairbrush, a chess set, a flashlight, magazines for an AK-47, and a bullet casing. Among all these items, there was also a copy of the Qur'an, the Islamic 'scripture' that calls for hating Jews and unleashing jihad against "the unbelievers."

However, the anger among Israelis was widespread as the horrifying images were broadcasted. Many Israelis directed their frustration towards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration, arguing that the hostages would not have been murdered if Israel had not stubbornly insisted on remaining in the Philadelphi Corridor, which is only a short distance from the tunnel.
Those presenting this argument assume—despite a lack of clarity—that a deal is possible. They believe that Hamas, despite recently increasing its demands by adding more names to the list of terrorist murderers they want released, is open to negotiating an agreement.
They were angry that Netanyahu and the government didn't jump at what they thought was the deal at hand and concluded that in order to keep the same fate from happening the remaining hostages, the deal needed to be made immediately.
They obviously don't know Hamas.
Others, however, correctly directed their anger at Hamas, in this writer's opinion. They highlighted the Hamassholes' brutality, so evident in the clip, and saw the video as justification for not striking a deal with Hamas, but, rather, using harsher measures against the terrorist organization, including ending the supply of humanitarian aid.
If this is how Hamas behaves, Yediot Aharonot journalist Amichai Attali wrote, articulating this same mindset, then Israel should halt all but essential humanitarian aid – water and flour – to Gaza.
A nation so deeply divided over how to free the hostages – by an agreement that would include giving in to some of Hamas’s demands or by continued military pressure – viewed the same grisly video and came to opposite conclusions, which is exactly what Hamas hoped would happen.
It's fully understandable how families of the remaining hostages want an immediate deal with the terrorists, but it should not come as a surprise that the remaining hostages still alive would be murdered before handing them over, if that hasn't already happened, because this is how Jew hatred works.

The only solution to this situation is to eliminate Hamas and those who would try to eliminate Israel.
