Their funeral today will provide closure to this particular tragic chapter of October 7, but for the hostages who remain in Gaza, the book is still open and rapidly closing.
IDF carried out Hannibal Directive, new 'Sword of Damocles' operation on October 7 • IDF intel missed three potential Hamas invasions before October 7
The silence of apathetic abandonment of Jews is not a new phenomenon, just as the extermination of Jews has plagued the civilized world for centuries.
Regarding the release of additional hostages, in recent days, inquiries and ideas have been raised, but there was no real negotiation, two sources involved in the negotiations told the Post.
Jewish communities worldwide held vigils for the Bibas family ahead of their funeral slated for Wednesday morning.
There is no moving on. There is only this new life Hamas has declared for us. There is only remembering. There is only fighting to make sure this never happens again.
ABOVE THE FOLD: Jews represent life, success, happiness, and creativity. Israel represents a bright and exciting future, a rebuilding, and a renaissance. Hamas and others cannot tolerate that vision.
What is shattering is not Hamas’ depravity. What is shocking, and disheartening, is that this inhumanity has cheerleaders in major cities and at elite universities in the US and around the world.
Readers of The Jerusalem Post have their say.
Let the memory of Kfir and Ariel Bibas ignite a fire in our hearts – a fire that fuels our determination to protect, to unite, and to demand dignity and safety for every Jewish child.
