Dostoevsky’s Explanation of Hamas’s Sadistic, Infanticidal, Frenzy

Witkoff first came onto the world stage with his role in securing the release of 38 hostages held by Hamas—in exchange for a cease-fire and Israel’s freeing of hundreds of jailed terrorists. Negotiations for the release of the remaining 28 hostages possibly still alive continue, but so far have not produced results. One of the outcomes of the previous deal was the perverse public spectacles that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad put on during the releases. And then there was the confirmation of the deaths of the Bibas children, the revelation of some of the details of their murder, and Hamas’s even more perverse use of their bodies.
