A grotesque show glorifies vile cause

HARROWING footage of Shiri Bibas being dragged into Gaza on October 7 along with her angel-faced children - Ariel, aged four, and his nine-month-old brother Kfir - makes for unbearable viewing. Now, 16 months later, we know how this terrible story ends.

Israel had pleaded with the Bibas' brutal Hamas captors for a private and respectful handover. But the fetid mind of the Jihadi never sleeps, its twisted mentality forever seeking ways to prolong suffering and its evil ideology.

Hamas today ensured one last violation before returning the bodies of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir - along with 84-year-old Oded Lifshitz, a peace activist who, ironically had dedicated his life to helping Palestinians. By staging a macabre ceremony to propagandise and glorify their vile cause.
