The definition of nausea is “a feeling of sickness with an inclination to vomit.”

Subsequent frantic attempts by politicians and officials to justify this “deal” and idiotic pronouncements by the international community have been enough to induce a mass case of queasiness.

It must be stated at the outset that the return of the hostages is of the highest priority. This includes not only the living and the dead but also the bodies of soldiers and civilians who were kidnapped several years ago and cruelly held in the hell of Gaza. No justification whatsoever can be made for the sort of terrorist blackmail now being enacted.

Anything short of the return of every single illegally taken Israeli should be completely unacceptable. The very notion that terrorist murderers and rapists are able to control a drip-feed release of hostages is obscene. We now face a scandalous situation whereby Hamas and its allies can turn the screws resulting in anguished families wondering when they will ever see still-held loved ones.

The fact that the release of the hostages is being shlepped out means that at any stage, blackmail tactics will be employed to squeeze yet more disgusting concessions. Hamas knows only too well that all they have to do is to blame Israel for something and the international community will ride to their rescue as they have done in the past. Hypocrisy and appeasement are now the default positions of most of the UN and political leaders in democratic countries.

There is yet another nauseous component to this doubtful deal.

In exchange for the release of dead and living hostages kidnapped by Hamas and its terror associates Israel is releasing thousands of convicted terrorists from jail. These individuals have blood on their hands which means they are guilty of murdering Israeli civilians as well as IDF soldiers. Their victims were intentionally rammed with vehicles, stabbed, raped and otherwise brutally assaulted. Those murdered included the young and elderly, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters and small children and even babies.

These murderers never showed any sort of remorse. On the contrary, they remain proud of their actions. Instead, they are hailed as heroes by their respective terror patrons and lauded by the PLO and an Arab Palestinian Authority touted by the international community as peace partners.

It is these despicable specimens of humanity who are now being released and returned to their families. They are welcomed back to PA-controlled territory as conquering champions of the evil Zionist regime. Even worse, hundreds are being released into Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. One must question this act of reckless lunacy and wonder at the complete lack of backbone and self-respect that sanctioned its implementation.

This scandalous situation is made even worse when you consider the devastating effect this flood of released murderers has on the families who have lost dear ones. Put yourselves in the shoes of the widows, widowers, orphans and bereaved families. They are getting a knock on the door and the representatives of the IDF or Government inform them that the killer of their family has been released.

Making the situation even more excruciating is the fact that TV and social media are showing these murderers being feted and welcomed back into their homes. Scenes of jubilation for murdering Israelis are rubbing salt into raw wounds.

Without any doubt these released terrorists will soon be back plotting and carrying out yet more murders. That is what happened after the release of terrorists in the Shalit deal and it is 100 per cent a certainty after this current release. In effect, the murder of more Israelis is guaranteed, all enabled by those facilitating this latest charade.

How do we know that murder and mayhem will follow?

The terror facilitators have already proclaimed their future intentions.

A senior Hamas official: “the destruction of Israel remains our primary objective.”  

Hamas thanks Turkey, South Africa, Algeria, Russia, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Belgium, Spain and Ireland for their support.

The Ramallah-based Arab Palestinian kleptocracy defended, glorified and celebrated 7 October. Just in case their message was not clear enough they followed this up by slandering and smearing Israel once again: “Palestinian prisoners are held in Israeli camps which are worse than Hitler’s fascist holocaust furnaces.”

The common theme emanating from all these terror-supporting quarters is that the cease-fire is a resounding victory and merely a temporary pause in the ultimate goal of destroying Israel.

Unsurprisingly, despite this explicit message, the world’s media prefers to ignore the clear agenda and instead engages in spreading tendentious reports about the evil Israelis. Convicted murderers are lauded as innocent victims of Zionist oppression and elevated to equal status with kidnapped hostages.

As though this is not bad enough, we are forced to read, listen to and endure the most nonsensical pontifications by political officials.

According to these misinformed, uninformed and clueless individuals, peace and tolerance are about to dawn.

Despite Hamas terrorists now emerging from yet-to-be-destroyed tunnels beneath mosques, schools, clinics, hospitals and homes and the discovery of yet more weapons and rockets, the genetic hallucinatory “experts” are already proclaiming “peace in our time.”

Despite clear evidence to the contrary, Israel is being warned that unless it agrees to the creation of yet another terror state in its Biblical heartland, it will be forever branded as a threat to world peace.

The likes of Albanese, Wong and New Zealand’s Foreign Minister, Winston Peters, join the rest of the UN in burbling the most inane nonsense. A common theme is that there must now be “a massive, rapid, unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.”  Ignored is the stark fact that whatever aid has been and will be sent to Gaza is immediately hijacked by Hamas for its own purposes. Any deprivation suffered by locals is entirely the fault of the terror groups in charge.

Choosing to ignore this reality, befuddled politicians prefer to blame Israel and spout a myopic message of unreality.

Take this pearl from the NZ Foreign Minister: “to achieve a durable and lasting peace, we call on the parties to take meaningful steps towards a two state solution. Political will is the key to ensuring history does not repeat itself.”

Given the irrefutable stated aims of the terror groups involved and the articulated objectives of their patron, Iran, how can anyone in their right mind believe that the history of terror will not repeat itself?

It is glaringly obvious that for history NOT to be repeated, Israel must decisively put an end to the nefarious designs of its enemies.
