The Children the World Forgot
The faces of Ariel and Kfir should shame the entire world
Want to know what’s wrong with the world?
Read the following sentence from the New York Times slowly, and see if you can spot the problem …
“For many Israelis, the story of the Bibas family has become a symbol of the brutality of the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack.”
For many Israelis?
Are you serious?
The kidnapping and slaughter of Shiri Bibas, along with her two beautiful children should be a symbol of the brutality of Hamas for the whole world!
But no. According to the New York Times, a former newspaper, it’s really only a matter of grief for Israelis.
More than 500 days after the Bibas family were captured and dragged back to Gaza as hostages to be held for ransom, the bodies of Shiri, Ariel, 4 and Kfir aged just 9-months, will be sent home.
I cannot imagine the grief of Yaren Bibas when he receives the bodies of his wife and sons back in Israel this Saturday.
Hamas has said they will return the bodies, but not for free.
Israel must release Palestinian prisoners if Yarden is to be reunited with the corpses of his loved ones.
And the New York Times says this is distressing for Israelis.
It’s a bloody outrage that should be infuriating the entire world!
Shame on all those celebrities who have touted for Palestine while Ariel and Kfir were being held underground in Gaza by terrorists.
Shame on all those Western politicians - which includes our entire Australian Labor Government - who not once demanded the children’s release before any correspondence with Hamas was entered into.
Shame on all those charities and NGOs that claim to be about children but who never once took up these children’s case.
Shame on all those who gather here in Australia week after week to hate on Israel. Hamas stole babies on October 7. What would you like Israel to do? Nothing? Like the rest of the world has done?
I wish that the faces of Ariel and Kfir had become a symbol of the brutality of Hamas. But instead, they have become a symbol of a virtue signalling world absolutely devoid of any virtue.
While our Australian Government never took up the cause of these Jewish children, it did take up the cause of the Palestinians.
Think about that.
Seventy percent of the Palestinians who crossed into Israel on October 7 to rape, loot and murder Jewish residents were civilians.
The last sighting of Sheri was in Gaza, where she was filmed barefoot while trying to navigate the streets with her 9-month-old baby, Kfir, and her 4-year-old son, Ariel … all while surrounded by Palestinian civilians.
Like I said, our government was mute on the fate of Shiri and her children while quickly signing up to take 3000 Palestinians.
Meanwhile, America’s ABC reported …
BREAKING: Hamas will release the bodies of four deceased hostages on Thursday and six living hostages on Saturday, Hamas and Israel confirmed. Four more dead hostages will be released next week, according to Israel.
Excuse me?
Deceased?
A Jewish mum and her two children just kind of … died?
“Deceased” is a hell of a way to spell murdered.
The family was murdered and will now be returned to their husband and father in a body bag.
Of course, they are just dead Jews to the ABC.
The person who wrote the news item was probably one of those same people tearing down posters of Jewish hostages a year ago.
Want to know why journalism is dying? Look no further than the way this is being reported.
The people paid to use precise words to record every event are suddenly at a loss to find the right word to describe Hamas murdering hostages.
"Deceased" was a deliberate choice.
“Deceased” is water-carrying for terrorists.
Luckily, our hope is not in the UN, or the Australian Government, or the mainstream media.
Psalm 37v12-13 declares …
"The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming."
Amen. Amen. And amen!
Thank you James. Words cannot even describe my heartbreak at the thought of these babies and their mother’s terrifying last days, the terror Yarden has gone through now to be overlaid with absolute devastation. The entire world should be crying…thank you for honouring their names and lives
I think those 3 souls image has been implanted on my own soul ever since I saw the day they were kidnapped.
I fear though, that just like the 2 NSW Nurses actions, activists will turn this story around and say, "What about the 20,000 babies killed by IDF in Gaza?" Monsters!
My only answer to that is, there is NO proof of the death toll put out by Hamas, but there is their own proof of the barbarism of Palestinians and those who support them, in the body cams they made whilst forcing a mother and her two babes into captivity and ultimate death at their hands!
Judgement Day is around the corner and God will not give any quarter to them!
And whilst I'm at it, have you all seen the list of Gaza visas issued by country names, since October 7th massacre? Under Labor, ie Albanese, Wong et.al, Australia has taken in more than 2922 Palestinians, of whom no checks have been made. Now we are seeing their fruit play out in our beloved land! SHAME on you ALBANESE! SHAME!
