Hamas’s atrocities go far beyond cold-blooded murder—they are acts of unfiltered, premeditated cruelty. These aren’t mere war crimes tucked away in legalese. These are acts of sadistic terror, designed to inflict the maximum amount of suffering on civilians—women, children, the elderly.
We now know that baby Kfir Bibas, just 9 months old, and his 4-year-old brother, Ariel, were brutally murdered by Hamas in captivity. The boys were not collateral damage in an airstrike, as Hamas initially claimed. They were held hostage in Hamas’s tunnels for weeks—cold, hungry, terrified, ripped from their mother’s arms—until their captors finally executed them. Why? What possible justification exists for murdering a baby?
If that weren’t enough, Hamas then paraded their tiny coffins through the streets, staging a grotesque propaganda event. In a public square in Khan Younis, militants placed the small black coffins on a stage, each bearing a photo of the dead children and a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, depicted as a bloodthirsty vampire. A cheering crowd gathered to watch. Hamas militants played triumphant music as if they were celebrating a military victory. A banner read: “The Return of the War = The Return of Your Prisoners in Coffins”—a clear message that Hamas views hostage-taking not as a bargaining tool, but as a death sentence.
This was not just psychological warfare—it was the public defilement of the dead. Even in war, there are supposed to be rules, lines that are not crossed. Hamas crossed all of them.
The Bibas boys were not the only children brutalized on October 7. The full scale of Hamas’s atrocities is now clear. This was not a military operation. It was an organized, sadistic killing spree, an attempt to inflict as much human suffering as possible.
Survivors and forensic investigators have documented how Hamas death squads roamed Israeli neighborhoods, massacring entire families. Parents were executed in front of their children. Women were raped beside the bodies of their murdered relatives. Some victims were found tied together, burned alive inside their homes.
Among the most horrific accounts are the reports from forensic teams who arrived at the scene after the attacks. They found babies with their heads crushed, toddlers with bullet wounds at point-blank range, and bodies so mutilated that they had to be identified through dental records. At least 40 children were found with their throats slit. Hamas operatives live-streamed some of these executions, posting them on Telegram and WhatsApp so that the families of the victims could watch.
The indescribable cruelty extended to the elderly as well. At Kibbutz Nir Oz, an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor was abducted and taken into Gaza, a cruel irony that cannot be overstated. Many elderly hostages were later executed while in captivity.
Those hostages who weren’t immediately murdered were taken into Gaza, where they endured months of torment. Hamas operatives dragged civilians—women, children, and the elderly—into their vast network of tunnels, where they were crammed into tiny, dark, unventilated cells.
Food and water were deliberately withheld to break the spirits of the captives. When they were given food, it was often rotten scraps, sometimes filled with sand or insect-infested rice. One survivor reported that her captors laughed as they watched hostages grow weaker from starvation.
For the women, the horror was even worse. Reports from released hostages confirm that Hamas operatives sexually abused many of the women they kidnapped. Some were beaten until they bled. Others were subjected to mock executions, dragged out of their cells, blindfolded, and told they were about to die, only to be thrown back into the darkness.
Even children were not spared. Former hostages have described toddlers crying in the tunnels, begging for their mothers, only to be silenced with violence. The captors treated them like objects, not human beings.
This is Hamas. This is who they are.
One might think that after such indisputable evidence of Hamas’s evil, there would be no question about how the world should respond. But shockingly, in the days and weeks following October 7, there were those in the West who not only refused to condemn Hamas but actively justified their actions.
In the United States, members of Congress like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar refused to unequivocally condemn Hamas, instead blaming Israel and spreading Hamas’s propaganda. Tlaib, in particular, pushed the false narrative that Israel had bombed a hospital in Gaza, a claim later proven to be a lie fabricated by Hamas’s own media machine.
At Harvard University, Columbia, and other elite institutions, student groups openly celebrated Hamas’s massacre, calling it “legitimate resistance”. In New York, pro-Hamas protesters chanted in support of the terrorists just hours after the slaughter. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held a rally in Times Square, where speakers cheered Hamas’s “victory” and condemned Israel for daring to fight back.
Enough. There is no ceasefire that can erase what Hamas has done. There is no negotiation that can bring back the murdered children or undo the horrors inflicted on the hostages. Hamas is not a political entity—it is a death cult, and it must be treated as such.
The only path forward is the complete and permanent destruction of Hamas’s military capabilities. That means eliminating its leadership, dismantling its tunnel networks, and ensuring that it can never again use Gaza as a launchpad for terror.
For the apologists in the West who still dare to defend Hamas, let this be a moment of reckoning. You have defended monsters. You have excused child murderers. You have justified the executioners of babies. History will remember which side you chose.
As for Israel, there is only one course of action. Finish this war. Destroy Hamas. Ensure that October 7 never happens again. No more hostages. No more massacres. No more negotiations with terrorists.
And for those who still dare to equivocate, take one last look at the tiny coffins Hamas paraded through the streets of Gaza. Look at the innocent faces of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, and ask yourself—what possible excuse could there be for this?
