Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, February 20, 2025

One of four bodies returned from Gaza to Israel on Thursday is not hostage Shiri Bibas, as claimed by Hamas, the Israeli military said. The news that Shiri Bibas, 33, and her two sons, Ariel and Kfir, who would now be aged five and two, were dead triggered an outpouring of grief in Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has informed the Bibas family that the bodies of her sons have been identified after their remains were given to Israel by Hamas on Thursday. But the third body was not that of their mother, the IDF says. Hamas has not yet commented on Israel's claim. "During the identification process, it was determined that the additional body received is not that of Shiri Bibas, and no match was found for any other hostage. This is an anonymous, unidentified body," the IDF posted on X.

The IDF bombed the family and do not respect the dead.

What else should anyone expect?

Show me one Palestinian prisoner that does not have severe trauma. One will do.

The family were alive until IDF killed them along with a lot of Palestinians.

Who is at fault? Ignorant enablers, corrupt administrations, homicidal rhetoric for a messianic cult.

2,000 pound bombs are not precision instruments.

Don't throw the bomb out with the bathwater - while expensive and manufactured in the United States, the damage caused to a society is demonstratively genocidal.

while expensive

I think they go for about $20K for the base model.

According to forensic analysis the young boy and baby were murdered by bare hands. And it's not like we don't have video evidence of Hamas's brutality on 10/7. And here we have Giant Robot spewing Hamas propaganda and making false equivocations on behalf of Hamas. Israel didn't revive hostages, they received corpses delivered in locked coffins and delivered with Palestinians cheering those coffins.
