So, world, what do you think of your ‘resistance fighters’ now? - The sick handover of a dead family in Gaza today should have caused global uproar

JC : So, world, what do you think of your “resistance fighters” now?

There t hey were, masked men handing over the bodies of the Bibas family and Oded Lifshitz, stars of the own sick show. It was monstrous beyond description and should have been recognised for what it was: a tarnish on a world that allowed this to happen.

But they were taking part in live news, given their own chunk of airtime like one side of a “balanced” BBC argument. Here is Hamas, a “legitimate resistance force”, handing over dead babies. Now, cut to the crying Israelis.

How did we get to this place? Emaciated hostages are handed back with “goodie bags", and the bodies of children and 84-year-old peace activists are described as a “prisoner exchange” – and people just accept it?

How dare our leaders talk of those airy things like “the rule of law” when they are tacitly supporting these creatures? The planet has been turned upside down – what was once deemed wrong now “needs to be seen in context”.

We saw banging drums, music and cheers, a stage and a huge image of Netanyahu as a bloodthirsty monster, placards describing Zionists as Nazis – all reflecting what we have seen on our streets every week since October 7 2023.

Even the Hamas claim that the hostages were killed by Israeli bombs was repeated and repeated, as if it were fact. Whatever their immediate cause of death, only a blind, deaf and wicked judge could possibly find Hamas “not guilty” of their murder.

Too many people in this country – too many in our establishment – not only swallowed Hamas propaganda but encouraged it, marched to its tune, fed it. Every new lie was parroted on our national broadcasters, spread by our charities, given the UN’s imprimatur of authority.

The fact that the BBC showed a “documentary” allegedly narrated by the son of Hamas royalty to commemorate the 500 days since the October 7 attacks should leave an indelible stain on our national broadcaster – but instead remains up on iPlayer for all to see. 

I want to shout and scream and tear it all down. My eyes have been opened since the Simchat Torah massacre to a world which is indifferent to the fact that 16 months ago babies were taken hostage into Gaza and today they came home in body bags. And indifference is the best we get – too often our pain is turned into a weapon to be used against us. We are blamed for saying this is wrong. We are told our people deserved it.
