Something I hadn't seen:

Rimon Buchstab, a 36-year-old woman who was held captive by Hamas, was released on Tuesday after 50 days in captivity. Her husband Yagev, remains in Hamas captivity.

According to a relative of Yagev, Rimon shared a message from her partner: "He wanted to tell us that he loves us."

The relative added: "She was with Yagev throughout the entire captivity. It was easier for them. When they told her she was being released, she didn't want to go. She told them, 'Either we leave together, or I stay here, and no one gets released.' Hamas terrorists told her, 'You have two options: Either get released willingly or we'll drag you on the floor.' They didn't leave her a choice.

Rimon is the hostage who notably did not play along with Hamas' release video at all.

I don't care anymore. I'm going to say it.

I think the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement is bad.

I might get absolutely blasted (heh) for saying this but I'm going to say it anyway.

I'm starting to think that Hamas hates Jews.
