About this episode
Recorded Thursday, February 20th
Israelis watched horrified on Thursday, as Hamas gunmen conducted a ceremony handing over four coffins, two of them with the bodies of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, aged 1 and 4, when they were murdered in Gaza, along with their mother Shiri. Oded Lifshitz, 83, was the fourth body handed over to Israel. Around the ceremony, Gazan civilians cheered and threw rice, people brought their kids to watch.
What should we make of this gruesome spectacle, of a festival conducted over the coffins of little children?
Some thoughts on what Israelis, and with them, the whole Jewish world, just witnessed.
