​• לאחר לילה מתוח, שבו לא היה ברור אם תימשך הפסקת האש, מסר הבוקר חמאס לידי ישראל רשימה של שש נשים ושני ילדים שישוחררו במהלך היום. שמונה אזרחים בסך הכול, ולא עשרה כפי שסוכם.
נוסף על כך ישוחררו שלוש גופות של ישראלים הנמצאים בעזה. משפחות החטופים שישוחררו עודכנו. בכך למעשה הוארכה הפסקת האש ביממה נוספת.
Quick translation for the point that adds to my horror to just about everything that is going on right now: In Victoria, the treatment (for want of a better word) of the families of the murdered and abducted family members, well, we will let the news go global tomorrow, in disgrace of Australia and what is allowed to happen here, with no legal protection or control whatsoever.
And now, apparently, Hamas gets an extra day of 'pause’, not for 10 Israeli INNOCENT civilians as originally agreed, but for 8 hostages, plus three dead bodies. Obviously, we want our people back, we need to know what really happened to every one of them, and we need to bury our dead. But is this the exchange? Hamas, and every other terrorist group that occupies the area, not to mention ‘innocent’ Palestinians, who have abused and terrorised the Israelis abducted into Gaza on Oct 7th, some holding hostages captive themselves, right now, are getting what they want in return. How many Palestinian and Hamas terrorists are we going to hand back to Gaza and the West Bank for these dead bodies? 3, 5, 10 terrorists? For what? An arm, a leg, a severed head? How much more disgusting does this need to get?
While in Australia, demonstrators throw baby dolls covered in fake blood, at the Israeli families of hostages and slaughtered family members. Israelis ‘hosted’ in Victoria, these visitors came to Australia to talk of their pain, in an effort to explain the unexplainable, thinking they can bridge a gap, and communicate the reality to Australians, to people who realistically, don’t give a damn!

This comment I wrote yesterday should probably be in the body of the text: 'Sorry, obviously not everyone, not even most. But it's too much. In other countries, law against this sort of thing is enforced '(Germany, France, even England), but here, NOTHING.
