Nothing epitomized the cruelty of the Gazans more than the murder of Shiri Bibas and two children, four-year-old Ariel and nine-month-old Kfir. True, all the murder, rapes, and kidnappings sent the message loud and clear. But the idea that those angels were alive when kidnapped into Gaza, and then brutally murdered, was too much to bare.
To add to the depravity, when Hamas were supposed to hand over the bodies, they initially tried to pass off a different body as that of mother Shiri.
Alas, the cruelty was not confined to the Gazans. After the bodies were returned, the anti-Israel brigade exonerated the terrorists of Gaza, claiming the Bibas’ were killed in an Israeli Gaza strike.
The anti-Israel brigade including Nasser Mashni, the face of Israel-hatred in Australia:
Now almost ten months later, and Mashni and his cruel allies are still perpetuating the same lie – using an interview with the IDF hostages chief to support their accusation.
The tweet links to an article by the Hamas-affiliated Quds News Network. Because, of course.
Israel knew since November 2023 that the Bibas family had been killed, most likely in an Israeli airstrike. Despite this, Israeli officials continued to tell the public that the Bibas children were alive in Gaza, said an Israeli official. The case became one of the most emotional pillars of Israel’s narrative during the war.
The confirmation came from Nitzan Alon, the former head of Israel’s POWs and Missing Persons Headquarters. In a new interview, Alon said Israeli intelligence identified the kidnappers early and established that Hamas had not taken the family.
“We knew who kidnapped them,” Alon said. “We informed Hamas who the kidnappers were, so they could locate them and recover the bodies.” His statements indicate that Israel had accurate information about the family’s fate months before disclosing any details.
While intelligence units placed the Bibas family in the “Most Probably Dead” (MPD) category shortly after October 7, Israeli officials continued to use their case to portray Hamas as holding infants captive. The Bibas children became a core symbol in Israel’s rhetoric and media coverage.
Alon’s remarks contradict that portrayal and show that authorities maintained a misleading narrative even after receiving strong evidence that the family had died.
According to Alon, Hamas struggled to find the Bibas family because they were never in its custody. Israeli intelligence passed the kidnappers’ identities to Hamas to help locate the bodies.
He tied Hamas’s difficulties to internal chaos following October 7, noting that negotiators understood the disorganization during early hostage-related talks.
Note how even Quds News Network does not quote Nitzan Alon as saying the family were never in Gaza as Mashni et al claims! He absolutely confirms that they were kidnapped to Gaza by other bad actors not belonging to Hamas
“We knew who kidnapped them,” Alon said. “We informed Hamas who the kidnappers were, so they could locate them and recover the bodies.”
Nor does he say the were killed in an IDF strike. Because they weren’t. Forensic findings showed the boys had been killed with “bare hands”.
The truth is brutally clear: Shiri, Ariel, and baby Kfir were dragged into Gaza alive. They were murdered in Gaza. And they were murdered by Gazans – with a savagery so intimate and grotesque that forensic teams could barely speak of it. No “Israeli airstrike” fairy tale can wash that blood off.
But that doesn’t stop Nasser Mashni and his ghoulish entourage from trying. They sift through Hamas-adjacent propaganda like raccoons in a dumpster, desperate to find anything – anything – that lets them absolve terrorists and pin their crimes on Israel. They twist a Quds News article that doesn’t even support their claim, misquote an interview that contradicts their narrative, and parade their fabrication as “truth.”
It’s not just dishonest. It’s vile and evil.
It’s who these people are.
