The bodies of four slain Israeli hostages were returned to Israel on Thursday, 503 days after they were abducted from their homes and dragged to Gaza on October 7, 2023, by Hamas-led terrorists.

Hamas had said earlier in the week that it was handing over the bodies of Shiri Silberman Bibas, her two young sons Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz, who was 83 at the time of his abduction. All four were taken alive from their homes in Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Hamas-led invasion and massacre in southern Israel.

The bodies were transferred to the Red Cross at around 9:30 a.m., in a propaganda-filled ceremony in the Bani Suheila area of southern Gaza's Khan Younis, where the terror group set up a stage covered with propaganda posters in defiance of pleas for a more respectful affair.

From there, the Red Cross handed the caskets over to IDF troops inside the Gaza Strip and, following a brief military cemetery, a convoy carrying the coffins, now draped in Israeli flags, crossed the border into Israel just before midday.

Give it some thought: they are now peddling dead corpses of the children they abducted and murdered, turned their bizarre transaction into a macabre spectacle that even Bela Lugozi's worst production would be hard pressed to replicate, parading the coffins of the hostages they murdered as if they were some kind of coveted trophies to the cheers of adoring crowds.

And the response from certain corners of the media and certain NGOs is decidedly underwhelming.

If that doesn't get the blood of all the self-professed humanutarians boiled, they are all dead as stone. Probably deader, if that's possible.
