The only type of woman who would say this is, is one who is into spirit cooking. Atrocities are a norm to her. Skin a chicken, skin a human... no difference.
Gazans who refuse to evacuate and serve as shields are combatants, not civilians
I think Hamas must have studied what happened to the Comanches who returned hideously abused captives. Lots of similarities.

In addition to the chiefs, painted-faced warriors, children and squaws squatting outside the Council House, the Comanches brought with them one white captive, Miss Matilda Lockhart, aged 16. Miss Lockhart had been held by them for over a year and a half.
The release of the Lockhart girl to the Texans was a “terrible blunder,” according to the book, “Comanches: The Destruction of a People,” by T.R. Fehrenbach. “It would have been far better had the chiefs brought in no captives at all. For Matilda Lockhart had been hideously abused in her captivity, and her very appearance was to turn this day, as Mary Maverick, one of the ladies of the town wrote, into a ‘day of horrors’.”
Mrs. Maverick was one of the women who cared for Miss Lockhart after her release. She described the girl’s condition: “Her head, arms, and face were full of bruises, and sores, and her nose was actually burnt off to the bone. Both nostrils were wide open and denuded of flesh.” Safe now with Mrs. Maverick, the girl broke into tears and said she was “utterly degraded, and could not hold up [my] head again.” She described the horrors she had endured. Beyond her sexual humiliations, she had been tortured terribly by the women, who had held torches to her face to make her scream. Her whole thin body bore scars from fire. An extremely intelligent girl, she had learned the Comanche tongue and had actually overhead discussions of their council strategy. She told of some 15 additional white captives in the same camp.

One report has that some of the woman released say there were bodies of others that Hamas is not allowing to be released to Israel.
Exposes the myth of the peaceful native, doesn’t it?
Give Hamas Jayapal in exchange for some captives. We don’t need her here, she’s too anti American.
Exactly. “The noble savage.” Western Civilization may have its flaws, but when you get outside our ken, it’s a pretty gruesome world. And that’s what is going on in Gaza. We are faced with an attack on Western Civilization; Israel is just in the way.
PS It was a comment made my Gen Phil Sheridan to a Comanche that is remembered as, “the only good Indian is a dead Indian.”
I’d go for apocalyptic, myself.
