Hamas’s cruel treatment of the hostages it has kidnapped has become increasingly evident. With each staggered release of a few hostages at a time, families are left in constant agony, clinging to the hope that their loved ones might return home, only to endure the emotional toll of uncertainty.

Tragically, the reality is that many of the remaining hostages may either be dead or in such poor physical condition that their release could be a public relations nightmare for Hamas.

Patience with Hamas is fast running out…

President Donald Trump recently remarked that the last batch of hostages looked like “Holocaust survivors,” highlighting the appalling conditions these individuals have endured. This comparison emphasizes the severe toll on their health and well-being, suggesting the unimaginable suffering these hostages have faced under Hamas’s captivity. While some hostages are fortunate enough to be released, the ongoing ordeal for those still held captive speaks to the depths of cruelty and disregard for human life exhibited by this group.

Trump says the ceasefire should be canceled if Hamas doesn’t release all hostages by Saturday

Trump says the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas should be canceled if Hamas doesn’t release all the remaining hostages it is holding in Gaza by midday Saturday. [February 15, 2025.]

In comments to reporters as he signed a series of executive orders, Trump said it was ultimately up to Israel. But he warned that “all hell is going to break out” if the remaining hostages aren’t released, adding that he feared many were dead.

“I’m speaking for myself,” Trump said. “Israel can override it.” <Source>

There was some concern that Hamas did not have possession of all the hostages, and there were several terrorist groups involved.

The future for Gazans looks increasingly bleak, deservedly so, as the majority support Hamas and elected the terrorists into governing power. 

Returning to an area devastated by years of conflict, they face the daunting challenge of rebuilding their lives in a region with little or no infrastructure. To make matters worse, they are under the rule of the corrupt and malevolent Hamas government, which has been diverting humanitarian aid meant for the people, using it instead for its own purposes.

This has compounded the suffering of civilians, leaving them trapped in a cycle of poverty and instability with no clear path to a better future. The lack of resources, coupled with a government more concerned with its own power than the well-being of its people, paints a grim picture for those living in Gaza.

And this is what some misguided American students support at the urging of their Islamic activists and agitators.

Bottom line…

Terrorism is unacceptable, and the Hamas terrorists, including those Islamicists who have escaped into the United States under the Biden Administration’s open borders program, need to be eliminated like cockroaches.

We are so screwed.
