Remains of Tanzanian agricultural student Joshua Loitu Mollel identified as Hamas hostage returned Wednesday night

Again, another reminder that not all civilians killed and taken hostage by the coward killers and monsters of Hamas were Israelis!

"... Following his abduction, for weeks, his family and Israeli NGO Hotline for Refugees and Migrants (HRM) searched for information. On December 13, 2023, Israel’s Foreign Ministry informed his father, Loitu Mollel, that Joshua had been murdered and that his body was being held by Hamas.

Soon after, graphic videos showing Joshua’s abduction and murder circulated widely on social media - published by Israeli media and official accounts without the family’s consent. His relatives learned of his death from these videos, causing deep trauma.

On December 24, Joshua’s father and nephew traveled to Israel, where they met with government officials, visited Kibbutz Nahal Oz, and attended a memorial ceremony in his honor. ..."

Freed hostage Israeli Iair Horn: 'As long as there are hostages, I am still a hostage' of Hamas

Who would not agree! Plus, one of his brothers is still held as a hostage.

"... For nearly 500 days, Horn remained largely unaware of the extent of the October 7 massacre. He did not know what happened to his home and his kibbutz. He was unaware that one out of four people in his community were abducted or murdered that day, nor did he know just how big and fast the invasion and destruction of the day had gone.

“As long as there are hostages still there, I am still a hostage,” Horn said. ..."

Hamas also kidnapped a total 31 Thai nationals and killed 46 Thais

Incredible! More news on the coward and savage killers of Hamas!

"Hamas militants kidnapped 31 Thai nationals during the assault on southern Israel, making them the largest group of foreigners held captive. Many of the Thai agricultural workers lived in compounds on the outskirts of southern Israeli kibbutzim and towns, and Hamas militants overran those places first.

During an earlier ceasefire in November 2023, 23 Thai nationals were released in a deal negotiated between Thailand and Hamas, with assistance from Qatar and Iran.

According to Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 46 Thais have been killed during the conflict, including two Thai citizens who were killed on Oct. 7, 2023 and their bodies taken into Gaza. ..."

Shocking moment mobs of Gazans swarm, threaten and spit on innocent Jewish hostages as they are released

If confirmed, then absolutely disgusting! The coward and savage killers of Hamas and their enablers! Perhaps, the people of Gaza should be resettled to e.g. Sinai peninsula!

I believe, but I might be wrong, these are not the first released hostages who had to go through something like this!

German-Israelis hostage Arbel Yehoud finally released by Hamas

Who knew there was also a German among the hostages held for over 15 months in captivity by the coward and savage killers of Hamas?

What did Chancellor Olaf Scholz do for this hostage if anything? Do Germans not have a particular responsibility when violence is committed against Jews!

"... But Israel was appalled at the scenes that took place during the handover. [hostages] were made to walk through a crowd of screaming people who tried to take photos of them. ...

Arbel Yehoud's brother, Dolev, was killed in the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023. Arbel herself was abducted with the family of her boyfriend, Ariel Cunio, from the Nir Oz kibbutz near the Gaza border. Initially, they hid in the house of her partner's brother but the attackers set fire to it, forcing them all out into the open. Some 1,200 Israelis were killed during the terror attacks, and another 250 were taken hostage. ..."

Hamas provides Egypt with list of hostages in hands of terror group, however Hamas denies it

Good news! Thanks to Trump's threats against the terrorists?

"Hamas has given Egyptian mediators a list of Israeli hostages that are currently being held in captivity by the terror group, Saudi news channel Al Arabiya reported on Tuesday.

The update comes as the Saudi outlet reported that officials confirmed that negotiations were privately progressing and that secret communications were in the works to finalize a ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip.

On Monday, London-based Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that Hamas had presented Egyptian mediators an initial list with the names of the hostages who would be included in a possible hostage deal. ...

The list reportedly included the names of four American hostages, as well as hostages who are elderly or suffer from medical conditions.

Release the hostages before 1/20, or there will be 'HELL TO PAY': Trump warns Hamas

Finally, someone cares for the American hostages held by the cowardly mass killers of Hamas!

Good for him that Israel has already done much of the hard work and eliminated most of the leadership of Hamas (with the help of the US, I suppose).

"Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, "Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it's all talk, and no action!"

"Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity," Trump declared.

"Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!" he demanded. ..."

Why are the US Ignoring the four of seven still believed to be alive American Hostages held in Gaza by Hamas?

A very good question! Indeed, you barely ever learn about this fact that Hamas has been holding up to seven American hostages!

This is a huge scandal!

Another one of the colossal failures of the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President, who prefers to spend most of the time on the beaches of Delaware with his wife.

"... Of those [101 hostages], seven are American. Of those seven, three are confirmed dead.

Edan Alexander, Sagui Dekel-Chen, Omer Neutra, and Keith Siegel are believed to be alive. Itay Chen and a couple, Gadi and Judi Weinstein Haggai, were killed that Oct. 7, but their bodies are being held by Hamas.

And no one outside of the Jewish American community seems to care. ...

The Biden administration should have issued an ultimatum to Hamas immediately after the Oct. 7 attacks, to this effect: “Release our hostages now, or you will face the full wrath of the United States and our ally Israel. Until we get our citizens back, we will be relentless in the pursuit of freeing them. Let our people go.” ..."
