13 Israeli hostages are now under Israeli supervision and on their way home, and 39 criminals are returning to Gaza. Israel made this exchange because of the Jewish value of treasuring each individual life. But given that Hamas repeatedly demonstrates that they have no respect for life, even for their own civilians whom they use as human shields, why is Hamas actually making this exchange?
There is the obvious reason that it gives Hamas days to recover and regroup, but there is another, more insidious and dangerous reason for Hamas to make this exchange. A reason that has nothing to do with the military war against Israel that they cannot win. This is regarding the war that they can, God forbid, win: the war to hurt the world’s opinion of Israel.
Hamas has been winning that war of public opinion since the moment Israel started going into Gaza after the depravities of October 7.
Quickly, the world forgot and ignored the horrors they perpetrated in favor of focusing on the “innocent victims in Gaza” who were being killed in the crossfire with Israel. The images of beheaded babies and raped women were replaced by images of Gazan children crying; all of which prompted demonstrations and protests against Israel around the world.
These demonstrations put pressure on governments like the United States to apply pressure on Israel to have a ceasefire. The more “innocent victims” in Gaza, the more worldwide pressure has been put on Israel to only defeat, and not totally destroy Hamas.
And anything less than a total destruction of Hamas allows Hamas, God forbid, to fulfill their promise of repeating the horrors of October 7 again and again.
That is their goal: to win the war of public relations and manipulate the world to force Israel to back down from their stated and necessary goal of destroying Hamas.
Remembering that truth in combination with looking at the actions that are taking place right now in Gaza allows us to see why Hamas wanted this ceasefire time and how this hostage exchange is part of a larger plan. It also shows us the truth about Gaza’s “innocents”.

Published November 23, 2023
The corporate media has had countless instances of awful behavior since Hamas terrorists brutally savaged Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 and took many more Israeli civilians hostage (and people from other countries, including the United States). From repeating false reports about bombing attacks and casualty numbers from Hamas itself — which they are still doing — to blaming Israel for violating a ceasefire that has not even begun, they don’t really have any redeeming qualities these days.
But this week, Sky News ‘reporter’ Kay Burley took things to an entirely new deplorable level when she had Eylon Levy, spokesman for the Israeli government, on her program. Watch:

RELATED: Analysis: A pause in fighting – what’s in it for Hamas?
Hamas can benefit militarily from the ambiguous truce deal, but as an opportunity rather than a necessity.
Published November 22, 2023
The deal that people on all sides of the fighting in Gaza and the international community anticipated and longed for has finally been agreed.
In many ways, it has been vague, starting with the time it was accepted by all sides – overnight on Wednesday and across 8 hours’ worth of time zones between Qatar, the main intermediary, and Washington, the principal force pushing the Israeli cabinet, with its reluctant and eager ministers, to accept it.
The deal’s designation is vague, possibly deliberately: The official statement from Qatar calls it a “humanitarian pause” but media in the Arab world and Israel seem to prefer “truce” or “ceasefire”, as does world media.
Apart from the difference in meaning between those terms, this reflects how sensitive the weeks-long indirect negotiations must have been.
