The celebration has commenced today in Gaza with the commencement of the ceasefire. Surviving members of Hamas have reemerged from the shadows. Three innocent women held hostage by Hamas — Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher — are in the process of being freed while Israel is to release 30 actual terrorist murderers for each freed hostage.
Despite the commandment to redeem captives, there must be a commandment somewhere that requires the consideration of effects and incentives. This doesn’t cut it: “The IDF says it will work to prevent celebrations and parades when the [terrorist] prisoners are freed. Shin Bet agents have made warning calls to the families of those who are expected to be freed.”
Will anyone in the West finally get it?

Ella Kenan’s post above reads in its entirety:
Will anyone in the West finally get it? It’s truly astonishing to see how Hamas, the ruling authority in Gaza with a military wing that avoided wearing uniforms for 15 months to blend into the population and use Gazans as human shields to maximize casualties and make the West blame Israel, has suddenly and spontaneously shed their “Press” vests, doctor coats, and ambulance driver uniforms. Miraculously, they’ve found their Hamas uniforms and are openly calling for the murder of all Jews worldwide. Suddenly, Gazans are no longer freezing or starving as they told you. In all the celebration videos, they’re wearing t-shirts or light sweatshirts, jumping in the air, and looking quite energetic. It’s insane how, within 24 hours, they go from freezing to comfortably wearing t-shirts. Will anyone in the West finally get it?
The AP still must have stringers in Gaza. Two hours ago it posted the video below of vehicles carrying dozens of “armed militants” (i.e., Hamas terrorists) joining the celebration outside the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza’s central city of Deir al-Balah. The masked men are well armed. The trucks are fueled. The celebrants look well-fed. They have the use of their cell phones. Where is the starvation? Where is the “genocide”? The AP must get right on it.
