Hamas Butchered Our Children. Now Their Days Are Numbered
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - After 503 days in captivity, the remains of Oded Lifshitz, and the children Ariel and Kfir Bibas were returned by Hamas. The body of their mother, Shiri was not returned. This was barbarism, a war crime of the worst kind. Forensic reports have now confirmed that the children were brutally murdered in captivity just a month after their abduction. This was intentional, cold-blooded murder. They paraded our children's remains like trophies. How do you make peace with those who murder babies and celebrate their deaths? Israel must respond with the full force of its power. This is about eradicating a force of pure evil. There is no compromise to be made with those who revel in the suffering of innocents. But if Hamas believes that murdering children will break our resolve, they are mistaken. The flame of hope must now be accompanied by the fire of retribution. We must ensure that those responsible for these atrocities are met with absolute destruction.
