Today Palestinian Hamas terrorists returned the bodies of 4 Israeli hostages who they took captive during the brutal October 07 terror massacre in Israel. The young mother and wife, Shiri Bibas, her children Ariel, age 4 and Kfir age 9 months when kidnapped, together with 84 year Oded Lifshitz. Last week the Bibas father Yarden, also taken hostage was returned to Israel only to have to face the cruelty of his horrific loss. Upon Forensic Examination by Israel it has been announced that the body that was represented as Shiri Bibas was not in fact her body. CNN is also reporting that forensics indicate that the two young children were murdered.
The handover of the four bodies occurred as a consequence of a larger cease-fire deal in the Gaza war that resulted from the Palestinian attack on Israel on October 07, 2023.
African Human Rights Coalition is shocked by how few in the American and Global Muslim and Human Rights leadership came out at any time to condemn the hostage taking AND MURDERS of an infant, small children and the aged. We are also shocked at how human rights organization have failed to unconditionally condemn the October 07 attack for what it was, where 1200 Jews were savagely murdered, women raped, and over two hundred innocent people taken as hostages.
October 07 stood alone in its demand for condemnation. the very next day. But there were few who came out on the days thereafter. If there was ever a time for worldwide condemnation of terrorism and Hamas it is in this moment.
African Human Rights Coalition (AHRC) provides advocacy and humanitarian services to LGBTQI+ asylum seekers and refugees, many from Muslim majority countries, many who are Muslim, fleeing criminalization and religious taboos that license persecution and extreme violence, to include death sentences, for being gay.
On Oct 08th AHRC condemned Hamas for their brutal cruel massacre of innocent babies, children, men, women, and aged in Israel.
Today, AHRC condemns the actions of the Palestinians and Hamas for the murders of the Bibas family and Mr. Lifshitz.
There is no situation where the hostage taking of an infant, can be termed "an arrest". Where the killings can be justified. There is no situation that can justify the hostage taking and torture and killings of an 83 year old man. There is no world where a terrorist can cross a border, enter the home of a mother and her children, rape ,shoot and kidnap and not be unconditionally condemned for savagery and barbarism.
African Human Rights Coalition further condemns in the strongest terms the shameful disgraceful manner in which Hamas returned the bodies of the four hostages today, including the lie that Shiri Bibas was being returned.
Mustering a crowd of Palestinian celebrants, parading coffins in a sea of weaponry, terrorist insignia, and well orchestrated polished visuals, they dished their vile propaganda to exalt their barbarism, insult the dead, and and offend the Jewish religion, all the while with with their own children dancing and cheering.
We expect a global outcry.
All politicians, religious leaders, human rights organization, Muslims and the Palestinian people must come out within the next 24 hours to condemn this offense to humanity. Failing which your silence will prescribe normalization and you will have participated in the depravity of humanity.

The Palestinian crowd gathered for this promoted as an event of celebration included hundreds of women and children
AHRC will not publish the Propaganda Visuals ....
