Hundreds rally in Tel Aviv to demand release of captives, highlight plight of child hostages

2024-11-17

[IsraelTimes] Hundreds gather on Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square and a block away on Begin Road to demand the return of the hostages from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The Hostages Square rally is dedicated to the children in captivity, ahead of International Children’s Day on Wednesday. There are currently two child hostages: Ariel Bibas, 5, and Kfir Bibas, 1. Their aunt, Ofri Bibas, is among this evening’s speakers.

Hamas

..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
as part of a hostage deal. They set off smoke stacks and beat on drums, chanting: "They [the hostages] are running out of time — a deal is on the table!"

The deal is that the IDF lays down its arms and withdraws, getting nothing including the hostages, and giving Hamas all it has ever dreamed of, including the ability to rebuild for the promised next 10/7. What is wrong with you people?!

The rally on Begin Road is unaffiliated with the Hostages and Missing Families Forum and is frequented by families of captives who are more openly critical of the government.

Antifa by another name, funded by the usual Progressive billionaires intent on remaking Israel to their own specifications.

Before the rally, these families made a statement, pleading with US President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th and 47th President of the United States...
to help bring their loved ones.

Toward the end of the statement, a man wearing a shirt reading "Lions of the Right" played music from a loudspeaker and got in a shoving match with Natalie Zangauker, sister of hostage Matan Zangauker, according to footage shared by a Haaretz news hound. It was unclear if the man was apprehended.

More from the Times of Israel:

Rallies were also held across the country in Rehovot, Haifa, Ra’anana, Jerusalem and elsewhere, demanding a deal.

Also on Saturday evening, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, one of the most vocal opponents of a hostage deal in government, told Channel 12 that the war in Gaza would not end until Hamas is “wiped out” and “no longer in existence,” but denied that this would prevent the hostages from ever returning home.

Asked why the government would not agree to a deal that would end the war in return for the release of all the hostages, Smotrich told Channel 12 that doing so “would mean [Hamas] retains control in Gaza.”

Smotrich, the head of the far-right Religious Zionism party, denied that this would mean the hostages would never return home, and stressed that the two goals of the war — to destroy Hamas and to bring home the hostages — must be accomplished. Only by accomplishing these goals, he explained, would Israel be able to ensure that there can be no repeat of October 7 and prove to its enemies that it has won.
