I CAN’T FEEL THE ANGST OF THOSE WHOSE LOVED ONES ARE BEING HELD:
It Is Believed That 240 Innocent People Are Being Held As Hostages By Hamas Palestinians.
The World Is Talking About A Prisoner “Swap” . . . Between Some of the Israeli (Jewish) Hostages & Palestinian Prisoners – That Would Equate To A Three-To-One Exchange. Three Palestinians for Every Jew.
LET ME START HERE . . . JEWISH LIVES SHOULD NEVER BE NEGOTIABLE:
One Israeli Hostage Isn’t Worth Three Palestinians . . . As a Matter of Fact, at Least in my Mind’s Eye, Not One Israeli Hostage, Jewish or Not, is Worth Any Number of Imprisoned Palestinians.
Whatever Deal Was Made . . . It Is A Total Absurdity To Call It A Prisoner Swap . . . since the Israeli’s Held by the Hamas Palestinians are Not Legitimate Prisoners. They are Kidnapped Innocents Whose Humanity Has Been Violated, while the Palestinian Prisoners in Israeli Prisons are Legitimately Held Prisoners, because of Actual Crimes Committed.
Also . . . It is Obscene to Even Negotiate the Freedom of People Who Should Never Have been Taken . . . And Is A Criminal Act For The Palestinians To Even Hold.
THE ONLY NEGOTIATION SHOULD BE HOW HARD TO PUNISH HAMAS:
I Can’t Begin To Feel The Anguish Of The People Desperate To Have Their Loved-One’s Returned.
But that Written, Any Negotiation with the Palestinian Terrorists is a Huge Victory for the Palestinian Terrorists and an Even Larger Loss in Multiple Ways for Israel & Other Multicultural Free Countries.
Israel Will Lose . . . Because the Hamas Palestinian Terrorists will Have Won Global Credibility as Victims, which is Already Perceived in the Minds and on the Streets of Israel/Jew-Haters.
Israel Will Also Lose In Terms . . . of Allowing the Terrorists a Victory in a Military Delay, which will Allow the Terrorists to Rearm, Regroup & Celebrate a Psychological Accomplishment.
This Deal . . . As It Happens, will Give 100% Credibility to Palestinian Terror . . . Much Like it would Have Given German Nazis a Free Ride, if they Agreed to Release Jews Not Already Slaughtered in Nazi Death Camps.
HOW MANY OF THE 240-KIDNAPPED HOSTAGES HAVE ALREADY BEEN MURDERED?
How Many of the 240-Kidnapped Hostages Have Been so Physically & Mentally Abused, that they Might Already be Beyond Normal Redemption?
It Goes-On . . . Who in Israel or Gaza is Going to Decide which Jews Get to be Free & Live Another Day? And Who Gets to Still Live in a Psychological & Physical Hell?
Is This Not Like Joseph Mengele Deciding Who Goes Right & Who Goes Left. Who Lives & Who Dies. Who Gets a Fast Trip to the Gas Chambers & Who Lives a bit Longer at the Pleasure & Usefulness of the Nazi Third Reich?
But Now . . . It’s Bizarre – That Israel Will Pick & Choose Which Jews Live & Which Jews Die.
I Have to Give Thanks to God or To Whomever, that I’m Neither A Hostage, Nor Someone I Love is being Held as a Hostage . . . And That I Don’t Have To Decide On Making The Choice Between Which Jewish Life Is More Valuable Than Another’s.
SUCCINCTLY-PUT . . . ISRAEL DIDN’T START THIS WAR:
Israel Didn’t Violate A Ceasefire On October 7, 2023. Israel Didn’t Invade by the Thousands over the Border of a Sleeping Peaceful Community . . . to Rape, Torture, Murder, Desecrate & Ravage Humanity in the Most Heinous Ways Imaginable.
The Palestinian Terrorists Did That. And For Good Measure, Kidnapped as Many as 240-Innocent & Vulnerable Israelis (Jews) . . . from Babies to Toddlers to the Aged. What Kind Of Savages Do That? And Where Do You Begin To Negotiate With These Human Animals?
LET ME PUT THIS IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE:
As Far As I’m Concerned . . . The Only Negotiations Israel Should Participate-In, Should-Be at the Extreme Business End of Israel’s Military. Hammer The Terrorists Until There Is Nothing Left Of Them. And Don’t Worry About Public Opinion . . . They’ll Hate Israel & Jews No Matter What.
YOU WANT PEACE . . . SHOW STRENGTH!
For the Others who will Do Harm to Israel (Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria – Etc), Send them a Message, What Israel Is Doing To Hamas & Gaza . . . Israel Can & Will Do To Them.
LET ME APOLOGIZE . . .
I Haven’t Sent Personal Thank You Letters For Your Support By Email Yet . . . Which Bothers Me.
I Hope to Send these Thank You Emails Very Soon. And in a Day or So, I’ll Explain the Reason for my Tardiness.
Am Yisroel Chai . . . Israel Lives!
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

On Al Jazeera today they announced that IDF had found three dead hostages at Al Shifah Hospital. Hamas said yesterday that 60 hostages have been killed (murdered?) because of Israeli missile strikes. Today the narrative changed to by Israeli strikes for media consumption. Gaza/Hamas health authority has been releasing very dubious (exaggerated?) numbers of Palestinian casualties and Al Jazeera never ever says terrorists. The number of live kidnap victims is unknown I believe.
I agree, Israel should not negotiate. I hear crickets regarding the American hostages. We are in a world wide horror show.
Howard: The one who started this war should have nothing to say re any cease fire. Until Hamas leaders surrender and release ALL Jewish prisoners, there should be no cease fire. All the Palestinians who are protesting in Canada against Israel are making me sick. Hamas started this and now want a cease fire because they are losing.
You said it right when you said: And don’t worry about public opinion…they’ll hate Jews no matter what! Israel should batter Gaza until there is nothing left!!!!!
Great Ed. Howard but the Israeli government should roll right over Hamas and take over the Gaza Strip. Do not worry about support for your Blog no need for thanks just my thoughts.
Any deal with Hamas will embolden them and all terrorists to continue doing the same. Since Americans were taken, the US (under any other president) would already have ‘secured’ them or will before week’s end. Then they would attack Hamas mercilessly to send the message that anyone who threatens us will reap devastation. And Israel is free to do the same and should do so. What Jew haters say/think truly doesn’t matter in such a situation.
Netanyahu and two crude cease fire generals, one of them, Gantz, in political coalition with Islamic Parties should not have been expected to be less damaging than what they are. The deal is a monumental disaster. Just as Oslo and disengagement have been.
This piecemeal hostage release sounds like Biden has Israel over a barrel. The Democrats are withholding finances and are probably ready to bail on Israel. Israel should insist on complete hostage release, one for one, and unconditional surrender. They should also use the death penalty and show no mercy.
Absolutely correct.
The worst prisonner swap was this deal where Israel sent back 1000 convicted terrorists for only one israeli soldier. It gave an incredible incentive for Hamas to try to take even more prisonners and we saw it this past October 7th.
War is a terrible game. Israel must be cautious about how they deal with Hamas. How does one deal with a snake?
I couldn’t agree with you more! This lesson was taught to me at a young age. It’s the only way to manage a bully.
Now Arab leaders are calling for a full ceasefire. The Jew hating press won’t be far behind , promoting the same thing. Israel will never win the PR war. The Rats have already built their own prisons in gaza. Find all entries and exits and seal them off. Then negotiate for prisoners on Israeli terms.
Once again you have put the truth in print! I have seen elsewhere: “pause for four days,” “release of up to fifty hostages” *#@&%# Should we be angered? saddened? sickened? All of these, I suppose. Pray for Israel!
Sadly Jews have lost before this ever began. All Jews can ever hope for is a brutal and threatened survival. Because that is all the world in their hatred of Jews allows. Israel will clean out the filth because it has to. But the world will continue to play its predictable game of shouting Israel down. There is no surprise in any of this. I believe if Israel is allowing a break it is because they have decent control and there is little the garbage can do to regroup.
The quote by Victor Davis Hanson states it perfectly clear….”Proportionality in war is a synonym for lethal stalemate, if not defeat.”
You are, as usual, absolutely right. And there can be no trust in information from Hamas or Al Jazeera. The following is how I feel about Israel’s response to the unbearably heinous attack, again, by Hamas toward innocent Israeli citizens on Oct. 7th: “War does not determine who is right. It determines who is left.” And this time Israel will once and for all rid the world of a terrible terrorist group for good.
Fantastic editorial Howard. EXACTLY! NO to a Cease Fire! Israel should keep up the attack on Hamas, do not give your enemy a break! Some Canadians and Americans should be ashamed of themselves with all the protest against All Jews. Hamas is a Terrorist group NOT your Friend! Pray for Israel…Hamas is the evil devil. GOD BLESS ISRAEL.
Hamas are Nazis and their desire is to destroy Israel and to kill all Jewish people everywhere in the world. Hamas is disgusting and should be destroyed. Here’s the problem. Hamas is evil but as I learned a long time ago: Never take the enemy for fools. Hamas gains “world opinion” by the media showing Israel bombing hospitals in Gaza etc… making Jewish people look like the bad guys. Trouble is, even before October 7th, there’s been a big rise in Antisemitism. Hatred For Hatred’s Sake.
