Every day brings fresh proof that Hamas will continue its atrocities until stopped. 

The group’s latest enormity?

Handing off a 10-month-old hostage, Kfir Bibas, to another terrorist faction, with the obvious aim of wreaking extra pain on Israel and Jews worldwide — and then, the very day after revealing that, trumpeting claims that Kfir and his brother and mom got killed in an IDF shelling attack.

Hamas presented no evidence for the deaths or for Israeli culpability.

And given the group’s propaganda around the al-Ahli Hospital attack, it’s not unreasonable to assume that the three may well be dead at the hands of the terrorists Hamas entrusted them to.

Even if (God willing; we see no reports of shelling in Khan Younis, where the children were held) these reports are inaccurate, the sociopathic cruelty Hamas has displayed here should bring condemnation thundering down from every quarter of the world.

It’s also a stark reminder: This is the terror cadre that commands huge support from America’s elites in Hollywood, academia and elsewhere. 

A group that takes infants hostage, murders the elderly, and uses rape as a weapon of war.

These are the brutal killers whom the New York Times, CNN and countless other outlets euphemize as “militants” or “fighters.” 

Kfir is not the first young victim. 

Hamas murdered at least 40 infants and children during its Oct. 7 assault and took dozens of others hostage. 

Now the group is releasing the children — with monstrous slowness — as the cease-fire with Israel ticks away. 

Many of these kids are profoundly damaged. 

One 13-year-old, Hila Rotem Shoshani, is reportedly dissociating from her captivity as a way of dealing with it; 9-year-old Emily Hand will only talk in whispers. 

This cruelty is what Hamas wants; it could have released all child hostages long ago.

But aside from its own barbarism, the group knows Israel cares about the lives of the innocent, and is using that fact to manipulate the Jewish state and its supporters.

Yet still their defenders protest and riot in the US, assault Jewish students on college campuses, and stage mini-pogroms in the halls of public high schools. 

Hamas collaborators — and make no mistake, that’s what they are — tear down posters showing the missing kids. 

They’re driven by rank Jew-hatred, of course. And woke anti-US fury. 

But we suspect the real reason they rip down the pictures of all those innocent faces is so that they themselves won’t have to admit what they’ve signed up for. 

As the latest cease-fire draws to a close, the atrocities against Kfir Bibas and other Israeli children prove beyond all doubt that Hamas must be stopped — forever. 

And to quote Hamas’ stateside fifth column, it will be “by any means necessary.”
