Israel bombed it’s own I rael killed it’s own on October 7th and they call Palestinians “cruel and inhumane” who are these people?
But overshadowing the fragile deal, Hamas announced on Thursday (AEDT) that the youngest hostage – baby Kfir Bibas – had died in an earlier Israeli bombing. His four-year-old brother Ariel and their mother are also said to have died.
The children’s father has also been held.
The Israeli military said it was checking the “cruel and inhumane” claim, which was potentially explosive given the high-profile campaign in Israel to free the family.

Wait for the wailing from Sky News
Ultra-conservatives with substantial wealth and/or undue media influence distort the secular agenda with outrageous impunity. Refer again to all the CPAC23 speeches linked above.
One case in point is Janet Albrechtsen, a former Director of the right-wing Institute of Public Affairs, and columnist for Rupert Murdoch’s flagship The Australian.
Indeed, Ms Albrechtsen wrote a scathing opinion piece in The Oz on 22.11.23 (paywalled) railing against the upcoming Secular Conference on 2nd December, in Surry Hills. Ten days before SAC – when not even one word had been spoken – she just “knew” she’d absolutely hate it all.
Her article was a breathless tirade linking basic secular principles directly with transgenderism, wokeism, the entirety of gender politics, all culture wars, and the climate “hoax”. She states, “And it’s hard to escape this new religion.” What a bizarre statement to make! Religion requires a ‘god’, but Janet knows that. She also knows secularism simply doesn’t have one!
Notice this basic right-wing strategy to bundle up everything they hate in the world and stick a convenient label on it – it’s all down to Satanism, to communism, or secular heresy. Oh, please!
SAC, and the objectively rational speakers of the Secularism Australia Conference will take a calm and measured analysis of where Australia actually stands now, in relation to the broad sweep of issues which undermine progress towards a fair, just and equitable society.
By Brian Morris Secular Australia justifiably expects equal media attention to that given to CPAC – the Conservative Political Action Conference that stages rallies promoting authoritarian agendas. Notably, the Secularism Australia Conference, SAC, is the polar opposite!
