Confirmed: “Palestinian Lives Are Worth Far Less Than Israeli Lives” – According to Hamas

So called Palestinian supporters, the terrorist enablers and the useful idiots, constantly claim with disgust, that Palestinian lives are viewed by the world as worth less than Israeli lives.

And now it’s official. Indeed, according to Hamas, Israeli lives are worth up to 50 times more than Palestinian lives. The terrorist group has once again set the exchange rate, apportioning far less value to the lives of their own people, than to that of their Israeli hostages. 

In the “ceasefire and release of hostages” deal (the term, prisoner exchange is an insult to the intelligence and gross moral equivocation), that went into effect earlier today, Hamas demanded between 30 and 50 Palestinian prisoners/terrorists for each Israeli hostage. To put that into perspective, one innocent Israeli, be they alive or dead, is apparently worth up to 50 Palestinians, particularly of they are convicted terrorists with blood on their hands.

This isn’t Israeli “Hasbara” this is not propaganda trick. This is Hamas’ own maths, its own calculation, as to the relative value of human life.

Hostages & Victims of Terror vs Convicted Terrorists

On one side of this grotesque equation, you have Israeli hostages. Yes, some are serving IDF personnel. The majority, however, are ordinary civilians, men, women, children, infants and the elderly, kidnapped during the barbaric rampage and mass slaughter on October 7th. On the other side, you have convicted terrorists responsible for horrific acts of violence and murder, from bombings to shootings, stabbings and more.

Israeli Hostage Being From Gaza

The contrast is staggering. Innocent victims of terror to be traded for guilty perpetrators of terror, at an exchange rate of up to 50 to 1. Bottom line, it is not the international community that values Palestinian life as less than Israeli life, but Hamas, the same organisation that brutalizes, exploits and sacrifices ordinary Gazans to its own warped genocidal agenda. Let’s not forget its enablers and supporters, the cynical bad actors (they know who they are), and their useful idiots in the West who are complicit.

Hamas Lowers its Own Macabre Exchange Rate

Hamas has a long and cynical record of belittling the value of the lives of its own people. Back in 2011, the exchange rate was much higher, literally 1000 to 1. Back then, Hamas secured the release of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners/terrorists in exchange for releasing a single Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. That’s right, to Hamas, one Israeli life was then worth more than one thousand Palestinian lives.

By comparison, today’s 50:1 ratio may seem like an albeit grim, bargain. Whichever way you look at it, however, it’s horrific. This is a terrible deal for Israel from just about every perspective, bar one, the most important one, the sanctity of life and the unwritten contract between the State if Israel and its people. Israel will begin the process of getting its hostages back, in the hope that all will come home as soon as possible, despite the horrendous price the Jewish State is being forced to pay.

And this most recent deal exposes the true difference between Hamas and Israel.

Hamas is only too happy to tell the world how Palestinians love and value death. Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh (now deceased), famously stated, “We love death like our enemies love life!”. Interestingly and highly relevant to the matter at hand, he also said, “We need the blood of the children, women, and elderly to ignite within us, the spirit of revolution”. Again, this is not made up. This is not Israeli “hasbara”. This is very much from the horse’s mouth. Haniyeh’s heartfelt words perfectly sum up Hamas’ attitude to its own people and the value of their lives. I suspect this may be why Hamas has worked so hard to maximise Gazan civilian casualties. Apparently, nobody could find a lighter.

Ismail Haniyeh (deceased)

Conversely, Israel loves and values life beyond all else. Hence Israel is prepared to pay an almost unbearably heavy price to get its hostages back, while recognising that Hamas will cynically exploit the situation to free as many cold-blooded murderers as possible, who Israel knows will return to their old habits, presenting a clear threat to Israel in the future.

That is not conjecture. Based upon previous deals, that is a fact! One of the prisoners/terrorists freed in 2011, as part of the price paid for the release of Gilad Shalit, was Yahya Sinwar (now deceased), leader of Hamas in Gaza, and chief architect of the October 7th massacre. But for Israel, the current deal as distasteful as it may be, is all about fulfilling its commitment to its citizens, and saving lives in the here and now. The return of all the hostages be they alive or dead is paramount. Nobody gets left behind!

Israel will deal with the future danger when the time comes! And make no mistake, deal with it, it will! 

Dehumanization in Action

The hypocrisy of Hamas, its enablers and supporters is breathtaking. For decades, they have played the victim, accusing Israel and the world of dehumanizing Palestinians, claiming that Palestinian lives are lesser, and treated as expendable. Yet, time and again, it is Hamas more than any other, that disparages the value of the lives of its own people, and sees its own civilians as disposable, be it, exploiting them as human shields, investing in terror tunnels instead of vital infrastructure, stealing crucial aid meant for desperate Gazan civilians or now, cynically establishing a 50:1 Palestinian to Israeli exchange rate.

This is no miscalculation or tactical error. It’s a moral indictment. While Hamas waves the banner of Palestinian rights and dignity, it openly dehumanizes the very people it claims to represent and care for. This deal isn’t about liberation. It’s about optics, propaganda, and cynically squeezing every ounce of political capital out of human suffering, not just of the unfortunate hostages held for over 470 days in Hamas dungeons, but also that of ordinary Gazans suffering under the yoke of a genocidal death cult.

Bad Actors, Hamas Enablers & Useful Idiots

And what about the chorus of enablers in the West? The bad actors parroting the lies and propaganda, the international media, students, so-called activists, and “professional” protesters screaming “genocide” and “apartheid”, and advocating for the eradication of the Jewish State while absolving Hamas of any and all responsibility. Their silence is deafening. What would their reaction have been had Israel demanded such a lopsided exchange, say 1 Palestinian for every 50 Israeli hostages released, or every 30, every 10, or even a ratio of 2 to 1. Imagine the outrage. They’d be up in arms, staging protests and launching hashtags faster than you can say “we are all Hamas”.

Pro-Palestinian/Anti Israel Protesters

But when Hamas sets the exchange rate, when Hamas itself treats Palestinian lives as cheap, well, hey, that’s “resistance”!  Criticising, let alone condemning Hamas just doesn’t fit the narrative.

The Palestinians' Greatest Enemy

It is time to acknowledge that Hamas is the greatest enemy and a clear threat to ordinary Gazans. It has rejected civil society in favour of radical Islamic ideology, spending billions on terror while neglecting schools, hospitals, and vital civilian infrastructure. It abuses the schools and hospitals that do exist for terror purposes, hiding weapons, command centres, fighters and even rocket launching pads, in these facilities knowing full well, and even welcoming the terrible consequences for ordinary Gazans. Hamas denies Gazan civilians shelter in its tunnel network, leaving them exposed to the bombing and fighting. Now, with this latest hostage deal, once again Hamas deflates the value of Palestinian lives to one-fiftieth of that of an Israeli.

For Hamas, the people of Gaza are nothing more than pawns in a ruthless game. Their lives are sacrificed for propaganda, their suffering exploited to garner sympathy, and their worth calculated in cold, cynical terms. If anyone is guilty of dehumanizing Palestinians, it is undoubtedly Hamas!

Oh, the Irony

Hamas and its enablers continue to peddle the narrative that the world values Palestinian lives less than Israeli’s. Ironically, it is Hamas that actively does so. So too their enablers and supporters who belittle the value of Palestinian life with their “racism of low expectations” and support for Hamas as it continues to sabotage any chance of a Palestinian future.

From 1,027 to 50, the numbers don’t lie. If you want to know who really dehumanizes Palestinians, don’t look to Israel or the international community. Look to Hamas! The maths, the moral bankruptcy, the genocidal agenda and cynical disregard for human life, particularly that of their own people, speak for themselves.

To all those so-called pro-Palestinians marching on the streets, chanting the chants, calling for the eradication of the Jewish State. If you are not screaming to “free Gaza from Hamas” you don’t give a flying f*** for ordinary Palestinians. 

Moreover, you have not only thrown away your moral compass and ability to think independently, as you lionise Hamas terrorists, you ultimately dehumanise ordinary Palestinians!
